1
00:00:00,830 --> 00:00:03,750
- Everything that mattered
to us was in that house.

2
00:00:04,550 --> 00:00:07,600
- The stove had a short
in the ignition unit.

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,480
This wasn't your fault.

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,230
- Hey, can you give me
a hand actually?

5
00:00:14,820 --> 00:00:15,770
- You should come
to Molly's tonight.

6
00:00:15,820 --> 00:00:17,070
- I'll see you there.

7
00:00:17,150 --> 00:00:19,070
- Wasn't Vasquez
supposed to stop by?

8
00:00:19,150 --> 00:00:20,990
- I guess he changed his mind.

9
00:00:21,070 --> 00:00:24,950
- Van Meter guided me,
put his trust in me,

10
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:28,700
taught me most of what I know
about fire investigation.

11
00:00:28,830 --> 00:00:30,370
- Dad, can you hear me?

12
00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:31,270
- Numbers are rising.

13
00:00:31,750 --> 00:00:33,080
- He's on his own.

14
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,140
Ha, not bad.

15
00:00:44,328 --> 00:00:46,148
It's a solid mid-winter pace.

16
00:00:48,390 --> 00:00:49,930
- It's Van Meter.

17
00:00:50,020 --> 00:00:52,350
I bet he's so glad
to be back at home.

18
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:53,980
- Yeah, he is.

19
00:00:54,060 --> 00:00:55,400
He's already got a case he
wants to talk to me about.

20
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,570
- Can't keep a good man down.
- Nope.

21
00:00:57,650 --> 00:00:58,860
Hey, Squad's off this shift.

22
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:00,280
I'm just gonna
stop by his place

23
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:01,200
before heading back
to the firehouse.

24
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:02,950
- Great.

25
00:01:02,990 --> 00:01:05,450
I bet that's what's best
for him, just keep him busy.

26
00:01:05,530 --> 00:01:06,490
- Yeah.

27
00:01:06,530 --> 00:01:07,870
He never liked sitting still.

28
00:01:09,330 --> 00:01:12,250
- And speaking of,
break's over.

29
00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:17,800
- Thank you.

30
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,920
So what's with
the frou-frou toast?

31
00:01:21,050 --> 00:01:23,130
It's, sprouted.

32
00:01:23,220 --> 00:01:25,640
What is it sprouting?

33
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,850
It's what they stock
at Firehouse 40.

34
00:01:27,890 --> 00:01:29,640
I've kind of grown to like it.

35
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,810
- What has that place
done to you?

36
00:01:31,850 --> 00:01:34,600
- Hey, you know, they're not
half bad over there.

37
00:01:34,690 --> 00:01:35,940
I mean, it's no 51.

38
00:01:35,980 --> 00:01:38,110
But I gotta say,
I'm pleasantly surprised.

39
00:01:39,980 --> 00:01:41,860
How's the house hunt going?

40
00:01:41,940 --> 00:01:42,990
- Don't get me started.

41
00:01:43,070 --> 00:01:44,780
Every single house that we see

42
00:01:44,860 --> 00:01:46,530
has got some
crazy deal-breaker.

43
00:01:46,660 --> 00:01:48,990
I mean, it's--it's just--
it's turned into this

44
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,450
full-fledged
Goldilocks situation.

45
00:01:51,540 --> 00:01:53,750
- What about rebuilding
on the old lot?

46
00:01:53,830 --> 00:01:55,500
Is that still off the table?

47
00:01:55,540 --> 00:01:57,540
- Believe me, we would
love to, Cindy especially,

48
00:01:57,630 --> 00:01:59,420
because that's her dream.

49
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:01,670
But with the construction
costs, what they are now,

50
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,420
it's just not realistic.

51
00:02:03,550 --> 00:02:05,220
I don't know.

52
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:08,720
The search continues,
and by the time this is over,

53
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,600
I will have viewed every single
house in the tri-state area.

54
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,140
- Well, you're always saying

55
00:02:13,230 --> 00:02:15,310
you wanna see more
of the world.

56
00:02:18,310 --> 00:02:19,860
- I told him I don't
have time to lie around

57
00:02:19,940 --> 00:02:21,480
like a CPR mannequin.

58
00:02:21,570 --> 00:02:22,570
There's work to do.

59
00:02:22,610 --> 00:02:24,150
- Yeah, it looks like it.

60
00:02:26,990 --> 00:02:29,030
I take it this is the one you
were telling me about?

61
00:02:29,070 --> 00:02:32,200
- Yeah, someone set fire to
an underground transformer,

62
00:02:32,290 --> 00:02:34,500
knocked out power
for the whole neighborhood.

63
00:02:34,540 --> 00:02:36,750
The transformer
was under the sidewalk

64
00:02:36,830 --> 00:02:39,040
covered by a metal grate
used for venting.

65
00:02:39,130 --> 00:02:41,380
Flammable substance
was poured through it.

66
00:02:41,460 --> 00:02:43,510
Lab tests confirmed
it was grease.

67
00:02:43,550 --> 00:02:44,630
- Looks like somebody
thought they were

68
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:45,880
dumping into a storm drain.

69
00:02:45,970 --> 00:02:47,130
- My theory too.

70
00:02:47,220 --> 00:02:49,430
I looked into
the closest restaurant,

71
00:02:49,510 --> 00:02:50,970
Valencia Bar and Grill.

72
00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:53,600
But they've got a valid
grease disposal contract.

73
00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:55,680
So why risk dumping illegally?

74
00:02:55,770 --> 00:02:57,440
- Yeah, something
doesn't add up.

75
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,270
- That's why I want you to talk
to the shop owner next door.

76
00:03:00,310 --> 00:03:01,730
He called in the fire.

77
00:03:01,860 --> 00:03:03,190
No one's taken a statement yet,

78
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,400
and for all we know,
he saw our suspect.

79
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,110
- Why not let the interim
OFI head take care of this?

80
00:03:07,150 --> 00:03:09,530
Captain Hargrave?

81
00:03:09,570 --> 00:03:12,200
She comes from forensics,
not fieldwork.

82
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,580
And since when did
I trust someone else

83
00:03:13,620 --> 00:03:15,080
to finish my cases?

84
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,160
Besides you, I mean.

85
00:03:16,250 --> 00:03:19,580
- Since never.
- Yeah.

86
00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:21,460
So you gonna help or not?
- You know I will.

87
00:03:24,380 --> 00:03:25,380
- Novak.
- What?

88
00:03:25,460 --> 00:03:26,880
- You're not gonna
believe this.

89
00:03:26,970 --> 00:03:28,630
I just got a text from Sam.

90
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,600
He wants to come by 51 today.
- Sam Carver?

91
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,350
- He is in Chicago
with his Denver firehouse

92
00:03:34,390 --> 00:03:35,680
for some kind of
training thing,

93
00:03:35,810 --> 00:03:37,020
and his chief heard about
the Joint Duty Program.

94
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:38,600
- Well, that's kind of cool.

95
00:03:38,730 --> 00:03:41,310
- Yeah, so Carver wants to stop
by and get the lowdown on it

96
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,150
so they can maybe start one up.

97
00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:44,780
- Violet, that's amazing.

98
00:03:44,860 --> 00:03:46,280
- Yeah.

99
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,700
- And also,
must be kind of weird.

100
00:03:48,780 --> 00:03:50,070
When's the last time
you talked to him?

101
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,240
- It's been a while, months.

102
00:03:52,370 --> 00:03:55,450
But maybe in a good way, like,
the air is clear now maybe.

103
00:03:55,490 --> 00:03:56,910
- Yeah, totally.

104
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,250
- Yeah, so I should
text him back,

105
00:03:58,330 --> 00:04:00,330
tell him, yes,
he should come by.

106
00:04:00,420 --> 00:04:01,630
Right?
- Definitely.

107
00:04:01,710 --> 00:04:03,500
- Okay.

108
00:04:03,590 --> 00:04:05,630
- Morning.
- Morning.

109
00:04:05,750 --> 00:04:07,630
- Hey, I'm sorry I didn't make
it to Molly's the other night.

110
00:04:07,670 --> 00:04:09,050
No problem.

111
00:04:11,390 --> 00:04:12,680
- She's texting
with a firefighter

112
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,310
who used to work here.
He's coming by later.

113
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,930
- Truck 81, Ambulance 61,

114
00:04:17,980 --> 00:04:20,770
person injured near exit 32
on I-90 inbound.

115
00:04:57,060 --> 00:04:58,520
- Ballard,
find the breaker box.

116
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,020
Cut the power.

117
00:05:00,140 --> 00:05:01,440
Vasquez, get up there
and secure the victim.

118
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,310
- I'm on it!

119
00:05:03,350 --> 00:05:05,190
- Herrmann,
get the aerial in position

120
00:05:05,230 --> 00:05:06,650
directly under the victim.
- You got it, Lieutenant!

121
00:05:06,730 --> 00:05:08,690
- Let's go!

122
00:05:25,092 --> 00:05:26,920
- Fire department!
Can you hear me?

123
00:05:37,957 --> 00:05:39,934
- Hey, we need to
cut that power now!

124
00:05:40,010 --> 00:05:41,720
- We're still
finding the breaker.

125
00:05:41,810 --> 00:05:44,100
For now,
find another anchor point.

126
00:05:45,098 --> 00:05:46,600
- Copy that!

127
00:06:08,712 --> 00:06:10,092
I got you.

128
00:06:17,825 --> 00:06:18,785
Victim's secure!

129
00:06:22,095 --> 00:06:23,515
- Found it, Lieutenant.
- Kill it!

130
00:06:28,205 --> 00:06:29,245
- Breaker's off.

131
00:06:38,953 --> 00:06:40,453
- Keep it coming!

132
00:06:42,820 --> 00:06:45,110
- Herrmann, let's get
a Sked up there!

133
00:06:45,190 --> 00:06:46,400
- I'm on it!

134
00:06:58,710 --> 00:07:00,790
You all right?
- Yeah, yeah. I'm good.

135
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,970
- All right. I got him!

136
00:07:16,060 --> 00:07:17,020
Give me some line.

137
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,110
Got him?
- Yeah, lower the stretcher.

138
00:07:27,190 --> 00:07:29,110
- Copy.

139
00:07:34,700 --> 00:07:36,450
- All right.
Let's check his airway.

140
00:07:39,460 --> 00:07:41,750
- Breathing is a little shallow
but pulse is pretty good.

141
00:07:41,790 --> 00:07:43,630
- All right. Wow.

142
00:07:43,670 --> 00:07:44,880
Okay, no electrical burns.

143
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,130
No entry or exit wounds.

144
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:48,380
This is one
seriously lucky guy.

145
00:07:48,470 --> 00:07:50,720
Okay, let's load him
and get him to Med.

146
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:51,590
Here we go. Thank you.

147
00:07:57,140 --> 00:07:59,520
- With a sign that big
and flashy,

148
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,100
they're not going
after justice.

149
00:08:01,125 --> 00:08:03,045
They're selling
their own snake oil.

150
00:08:03,070 --> 00:08:04,700
- Somehow, I never knew
that accident lawyers

151
00:08:04,725 --> 00:08:05,895
were such a trigger for you.

152
00:08:06,002 --> 00:08:07,752
- Shameless opportunists.

153
00:08:07,777 --> 00:08:12,707
And that so-called
Uncle Larry, he's no different.

154
00:08:12,732 --> 00:08:13,862
- One of them do you
dirty or something?

155
00:08:13,887 --> 00:08:15,927
- They're doing society dirty.

156
00:08:15,952 --> 00:08:17,604
- You've seen those
commercials, right?

157
00:08:17,629 --> 00:08:18,589
- No.

158
00:08:23,130 --> 00:08:24,170
- Workplace slip and fall?

159
00:08:24,210 --> 00:08:26,340
Uncle Larry's got your back.

160
00:08:26,420 --> 00:08:28,170
Car accident?

161
00:08:28,260 --> 00:08:29,260
He won't let some big
insurance company

162
00:08:29,380 --> 00:08:31,090
take you for a ride,

163
00:08:31,170 --> 00:08:34,510
'cause when Larry's done with
them, they'll be crying uncle.

164
00:08:34,590 --> 00:08:36,180
- I rest my case.

165
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:43,560
- Hey.
- Hi.

166
00:08:43,650 --> 00:08:46,270
- I'm just starting to spin out
about the whole Carver thing.

167
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,610
Talk to us.

168
00:08:47,690 --> 00:08:48,860
- What's it gonna
be like seeing him

169
00:08:48,980 --> 00:08:51,190
after so long--and then
so long without talking?

170
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,740
- Okay, well, there were
never any bad feelings, right?

171
00:08:55,870 --> 00:08:57,580
It was just...

172
00:08:57,700 --> 00:09:00,540
- Heartbreaking.

173
00:09:00,580 --> 00:09:04,500
- Yeah, heartbreaking.

174
00:09:04,540 --> 00:09:08,300
- And now he's gonna be
right here in front of me.

175
00:09:08,380 --> 00:09:09,920
And what if I see him and
I can't handle it, and I just--

176
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,380
I wanna run
in the other direction?

177
00:09:12,550 --> 00:09:13,630
- Well, I guess
you're not really

178
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,800
gonna know until it happens.

179
00:09:15,930 --> 00:09:18,850
I guess not.

180
00:09:18,930 --> 00:09:23,390
- Well, whatever it is,
we are here for it.

181
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:27,310
- Thank you.

182
00:09:29,940 --> 00:09:31,820
- What time did
you see the flash?

183
00:09:31,900 --> 00:09:32,990
- I was locking up
for the night,

184
00:09:33,070 --> 00:09:34,610
so it must have been
around 7:00.

185
00:09:34,700 --> 00:09:36,490
- Anybody else nearby that
could have started the fire?

186
00:09:36,570 --> 00:09:39,120
- No, the street was empty.

187
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,500
As soon as I saw the smoke come
pouring out, I called the cops.

188
00:09:41,540 --> 00:09:43,660
- And any of the restaurants
along the block?

189
00:09:43,710 --> 00:09:45,580
Any that could have been
illegally dumping grease?

190
00:09:45,670 --> 00:09:47,670
- Valencia is
the only kitchen around,

191
00:09:47,790 --> 00:09:51,090
except for the food trucks
that park here on the weekends.

192
00:09:51,170 --> 00:09:53,010
- I'll take the names
of those trucks.

193
00:09:53,050 --> 00:09:55,510
- Sure, but I gave them
to your guys already.

194
00:09:55,550 --> 00:09:57,220
- You did?

195
00:09:57,300 --> 00:09:59,220
- Yeah, another
fire investigator came by.

196
00:09:59,260 --> 00:10:02,020
Captain Hall, Hart?

197
00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:03,100
- Captain Hargrave?

198
00:10:03,180 --> 00:10:04,600
- That's the one.

199
00:10:06,730 --> 00:10:08,020
- I'll take the names
of those trucks anyway.

200
00:10:08,150 --> 00:10:11,900
For some reason, they never
made it into the file.

201
00:10:13,030 --> 00:10:14,530
- Firehouse 51.

202
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,820
Correct, this morning.

203
00:10:19,620 --> 00:10:20,870
Did he give a reason?

204
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,250
Okay.

205
00:10:24,330 --> 00:10:26,000
We'll be ready, yeah.

206
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:33,380
Guys, let's huddle up.

207
00:10:35,550 --> 00:10:38,590
So I just got a call from CFD's

208
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:41,600
Office of Professional
Standards and Practices.

209
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:43,640
Turns out Uncle Larry,
that lawyer,

210
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,640
he is not just
a pretty face on a billboard.

211
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:48,060
He owns the sign and the land

212
00:10:48,150 --> 00:10:49,560
where today's incident
took place.

213
00:10:49,650 --> 00:10:51,060
So he's been calling
around the CFD

214
00:10:51,150 --> 00:10:53,070
to see which
firehouse responded.

215
00:10:53,150 --> 00:10:54,610
- Do we know what he wants?

216
00:10:54,650 --> 00:10:56,110
- He wants statements
from anyone who was there.

217
00:10:56,190 --> 00:10:57,240
- That can't be good.

218
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:58,610
You think he's
coming after 51?

219
00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:00,870
- These guys,
they make 800 bucks an hour.

220
00:11:00,950 --> 00:11:02,280
I bet that he's not
coming across town

221
00:11:02,370 --> 00:11:03,700
to pat us on the back.

222
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,830
- My God.
- He's here.

223
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,460
- Already?

224
00:11:19,180 --> 00:11:21,140
- That's Sam Carver.

225
00:11:30,060 --> 00:11:31,350
- I'm glad you're here.

226
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,520
- Me too.

227
00:11:35,730 --> 00:11:36,690
- Look at you.

228
00:11:36,820 --> 00:11:38,740
Hey.

229
00:11:38,900 --> 00:11:39,950
- Hey.

230
00:11:40,070 --> 00:11:41,870
- Hi.
- How you doing?

231
00:11:42,030 --> 00:11:43,780
- Hey, what's with
the hair, man?

232
00:11:43,870 --> 00:11:45,620
They got no rules in Denver?

233
00:11:45,790 --> 00:11:47,500
- We've been traveling
and training for a few weeks.

234
00:11:47,620 --> 00:11:48,500
There's no need to shave.

235
00:11:48,620 --> 00:11:50,290
- Well, you look amazing.

236
00:11:50,370 --> 00:11:51,920
How are you? How is Denver?

237
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,540
- Everything's going great.

238
00:11:53,630 --> 00:11:55,300
Thanks.

239
00:11:55,420 --> 00:11:57,260
I miss you guys, though.

240
00:11:58,630 --> 00:11:59,800
- Ambulance 61,
person injured...

241
00:11:59,970 --> 00:12:01,180
- Sorry. Sorry.

242
00:12:01,260 --> 00:12:02,680
Hey, talk Joint Duty
when I get back.

243
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,260
- No problem.
- Cool.

244
00:12:04,350 --> 00:12:05,310
- Lots of catching up to do.

245
00:12:05,430 --> 00:12:07,390
- Yeah, we'll keep them busy.

246
00:12:07,430 --> 00:12:09,020
Sal, this is Sam.

247
00:12:09,060 --> 00:12:11,850
- Nice to meet you.

248
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,780
- I was walking past.

249
00:12:16,820 --> 00:12:17,690
I heard someone
calling for help.

250
00:12:17,780 --> 00:12:19,490
He's up here.

251
00:12:22,780 --> 00:12:24,120
- What happened?

252
00:12:26,790 --> 00:12:27,830
- It's stuck.

253
00:12:27,990 --> 00:12:29,160
God, my hand.

254
00:12:32,652 --> 00:12:34,482
- We can't free it.
It's too entangled.

255
00:12:35,030 --> 00:12:36,200
- Am I gonna lose my hand?

256
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,030
- Let's just get you
safe first, okay?

257
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,200
- Give him
25 micrograms of fentanyl.

258
00:12:40,290 --> 00:12:42,080
I'll call it in.
- Okay.

259
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,710
Hey, Ambo 61 to Main,
requesting backup

260
00:12:43,750 --> 00:12:46,290
for a technical
disentanglement.

261
00:12:46,330 --> 00:12:47,880
- Copy, 61.

262
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,130
A fire company was
already dispatched.

263
00:12:49,210 --> 00:12:51,460
ETA any minute now.

264
00:12:59,970 --> 00:13:01,100
- Hey, Vi.
- Hey, Mouch.

265
00:13:01,220 --> 00:13:02,600
- What are we looking at?

266
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:04,440
- His hand is twisted up
pretty bad.

267
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,440
No arterial spray,
but we can't pull it out

268
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,060
and risk tearing something.

269
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:11,280
- Hey, pal.

270
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,490
What's your name?

271
00:13:13,570 --> 00:13:14,780
- Brad.

272
00:13:14,860 --> 00:13:15,950
- Just grab me
the chain breaker.

273
00:13:16,070 --> 00:13:17,160
That'll do the trick.

274
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,990
- Copy that.

275
00:13:19,070 --> 00:13:21,450
- You know,
I ride a vintage bike myself.

276
00:13:21,580 --> 00:13:23,870
I was thinking about adding
some custom pipes like those.

277
00:13:23,910 --> 00:13:25,370
You do that work yourself?

278
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,670
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

279
00:13:29,750 --> 00:13:30,670
- All right, keep him upright.
Don't let it pull--

280
00:13:30,750 --> 00:13:31,920
- Reinhart, lean into him.
- Copy.

281
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,550
- Here you go, Lieutenant.

282
00:13:33,630 --> 00:13:35,510
All right, you hold him steady.

283
00:13:42,350 --> 00:13:44,770
Okay, easy.

284
00:13:44,810 --> 00:13:46,390
Can you get it?
- All right.

285
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,650
- Got it?
- There we go.

286
00:13:50,730 --> 00:13:55,150
Let's get him on his back,
keep his arm elevated.

287
00:13:57,030 --> 00:13:58,110
Perfect.

288
00:13:58,280 --> 00:13:59,990
Awesome.

289
00:14:04,330 --> 00:14:06,080
- Pressure's low.

290
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,000
- All right. We'll run fluids.

291
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:08,960
Help us get him
on the stretcher.

292
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:09,880
- Yeah.
- Don't worry.

293
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,460
We got it, Lieutenant.

294
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,220
- There we go.
- Okay.

295
00:14:32,110 --> 00:14:34,320
- How's it looking?

296
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,400
- Lines are clean.
- Great.

297
00:14:37,490 --> 00:14:39,700
- Here we go.

298
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,460
- Get a load of this guy.

299
00:14:53,590 --> 00:14:55,250
- I need to speak
to someone in charge.

300
00:14:55,380 --> 00:14:57,970
- I'm gonna head back before
I say something

301
00:14:58,010 --> 00:15:01,140
that we're both gonna regret.

302
00:15:01,220 --> 00:15:03,970
- Mr. Langer, hi.
I'm Lieutenant Stella Kidd.

303
00:15:04,050 --> 00:15:06,100
It was my unit that responded
to the incident this morning.

304
00:15:06,220 --> 00:15:07,600
- What the hell
happened out there?

305
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,480
- Man you hired to fix
your billboard almost died.

306
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,650
- I've been at this 25 years,
and after what happened today,

307
00:15:13,770 --> 00:15:15,610
you can bet your ass
that a multimillion-dollar

308
00:15:15,690 --> 00:15:16,900
lawsuit is on its way.

309
00:15:16,980 --> 00:15:18,030
I promise you that.

310
00:15:18,110 --> 00:15:19,240
- The city is broke as it is

311
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,030
and you are threatening
to sue us?

312
00:15:21,070 --> 00:15:24,280
We were out there
saving a man's life.

313
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,120
- No, no, no, no, I'm not--
you got it wrong here.

314
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,120
I'm not gonna sue
the fire department.

315
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,660
I'm the target here.
- The target?

316
00:15:30,750 --> 00:15:33,330
- Yeah, that billboard tech,
the one that got shocked,

317
00:15:33,420 --> 00:15:34,630
he's seeing dollar signs.

318
00:15:34,710 --> 00:15:36,250
The guy's already lawyered up.

319
00:15:36,300 --> 00:15:38,630
They're coming after me
'cause it's my property.

320
00:15:38,670 --> 00:15:40,630
I need your help.

321
00:15:40,670 --> 00:15:42,090
- What kind of help?

322
00:15:42,180 --> 00:15:43,140
- Well, you guys
were on the scene.

323
00:15:43,180 --> 00:15:44,850
You saw it all.

324
00:15:44,890 --> 00:15:47,010
So I just need information so
I can get my ducks in a row.

325
00:15:47,060 --> 00:15:48,600
I think that's fair, isn't it?

326
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,350
- I'm gonna talk to my guys.

327
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,560
We will look over
the incident reports,

328
00:15:54,610 --> 00:15:56,320
and then we'll get back to you.

329
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:57,730
- Great, thank you.

330
00:15:57,820 --> 00:15:59,940
Okay, here's my card.
You call me day or night.

331
00:15:59,990 --> 00:16:01,200
Thank you.

332
00:16:06,490 --> 00:16:08,490
- I'm wall-to-wall with
training stuff until I leave,

333
00:16:08,580 --> 00:16:10,910
but I'll find a way to
get to Molly's tomorrow,

334
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,210
see everybody.

335
00:16:12,330 --> 00:16:13,460
- Whatever you can spare,
we'll take it.

336
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,210
- I'm sorry I don't have
more time this trip.

337
00:16:20,300 --> 00:16:22,550
I didn't expect--

338
00:16:22,630 --> 00:16:24,180
- Don't apologize.

339
00:16:24,260 --> 00:16:26,140
I'm just--I'm really
glad to see you.

340
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:30,520
Hey, guys.

341
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,390
Thanks for joining.

342
00:16:32,430 --> 00:16:35,020
I was just telling Carver about
the origins of the program

343
00:16:35,060 --> 00:16:37,020
and how we figured it could
help everybody involved.

344
00:16:37,110 --> 00:16:39,480
- She figured.
This program is all Violet.

345
00:16:39,570 --> 00:16:41,320
- It's a great idea.

346
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:42,900
- No, no, no,
Novak helped out a lot.

347
00:16:42,950 --> 00:16:45,160
And Vasquez was the first one
to sign up for the program.

348
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:46,820
You wanna talk
a little bit about it

349
00:16:46,910 --> 00:16:48,240
from a firefighter's
perspective?

350
00:16:48,330 --> 00:16:49,160
- Yeah.

351
00:16:49,330 --> 00:16:51,160
Yeah, yeah, sure.

352
00:16:51,330 --> 00:16:53,830
Well, I went into it thinking
it'd be second nature.

353
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,960
But, you know, it took a beat.

354
00:16:57,130 --> 00:16:58,920
You gotta think differently,
which is cool.

355
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,090
And I'll tell you what,
next shift in 81,

356
00:17:01,170 --> 00:17:02,670
just felt like I had a second
radar up, if you know I mean.

357
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,380
I get that.

358
00:17:04,420 --> 00:17:06,010
- Yeah, like you could
see the scene differently.

359
00:17:06,090 --> 00:17:07,300
- Good for both sides
of the job.

360
00:17:07,390 --> 00:17:08,390
- Yeah, yeah, exactly, man.

361
00:17:08,470 --> 00:17:11,560
And training was hell.

362
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,230
Please.

363
00:17:13,310 --> 00:17:14,730
- Violet brought in
enough chicken breasts

364
00:17:14,810 --> 00:17:16,650
to feed a small army,
put me in my place,

365
00:17:16,730 --> 00:17:18,230
and sharpened my IV skills.

366
00:17:18,310 --> 00:17:20,360
- I did that to teach you,
not to shame you.

367
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,400
- Little bit of both.
Come on, admit it.

368
00:17:23,530 --> 00:17:24,860
- Well, did I teach you
to place

369
00:17:24,990 --> 00:17:26,700
an IV like a superstar or not?

370
00:17:26,740 --> 00:17:27,780
- Okay, Vasquez,
you were supposed to be

371
00:17:27,820 --> 00:17:29,990
helping her sell the program.

372
00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:33,700
- Fine, fine, no, I came out
of it a better firefighter.

373
00:17:33,790 --> 00:17:37,710
And I would do it again
in a heartbeat.

374
00:17:40,420 --> 00:17:41,500
- I bet.

375
00:17:45,420 --> 00:17:48,220
Can you show me how you've
been scheduling everything?

376
00:17:48,300 --> 00:17:49,970
- Yeah, absolutely.

377
00:17:50,010 --> 00:17:53,060
Novak, I think you brought the
schedule in with you, right?

378
00:17:53,140 --> 00:17:55,270
- Yeah, yeah, I have them
somewhere here.

379
00:17:55,350 --> 00:17:56,940
- Hey.

380
00:17:57,060 --> 00:17:59,310
Ballard said you
wanted to see me,

381
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,230
and I can only assume it's
because of a certain visit

382
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:03,070
from our blood-sucking uncle.

383
00:18:03,190 --> 00:18:05,190
- I read over
the incident reports

384
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,360
from the billboard this
morning.

385
00:18:07,450 --> 00:18:10,030
And you wrote that
the victim's harness

386
00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:12,700
was clipped onto
the electrical conduit.

387
00:18:12,790 --> 00:18:14,450
- It's a pretty small pipe.

388
00:18:14,540 --> 00:18:16,960
I mean, it was never meant to
support that kind of weight.

389
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,290
- So did it look like
his harness snagged

390
00:18:19,370 --> 00:18:22,710
onto the conduit after he fell,

391
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,340
or did it look like
he clipped himself onto it?

392
00:18:25,380 --> 00:18:27,300
Because if it is the latter--

393
00:18:27,420 --> 00:18:30,390
- Then he electrocuted himself,

394
00:18:30,430 --> 00:18:33,140
and our victim
is then at fault.

395
00:18:33,220 --> 00:18:34,680
- Yes.

396
00:18:34,770 --> 00:18:37,140
And you are the only one
with the vantage point

397
00:18:37,180 --> 00:18:38,730
being on the aerial.

398
00:18:38,810 --> 00:18:42,150
So what did you see exactly?

399
00:18:42,190 --> 00:18:44,650
Well, he--

400
00:18:44,780 --> 00:18:48,990
he may have clipped
onto the conduit.

401
00:18:49,070 --> 00:18:52,740
My guess would be he did it
because it was closer.

402
00:18:52,870 --> 00:18:54,160
- He may have.

403
00:18:57,660 --> 00:18:59,710
- All right, fine.

404
00:18:59,790 --> 00:19:00,830
I saw it.

405
00:19:00,870 --> 00:19:02,670
It was clear as day.

406
00:19:02,750 --> 00:19:07,630
And, I mean, are we really
gonna go out of our way

407
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,880
to help this Uncle Larry guy?

408
00:19:09,930 --> 00:19:13,100
- These become public records.

409
00:19:13,180 --> 00:19:15,010
Remember? So--
- Yeah.

410
00:19:15,100 --> 00:19:17,850
- In any case, we don't
get to choose who we help.

411
00:19:17,890 --> 00:19:20,190
We answer the call.

412
00:19:20,230 --> 00:19:21,440
That is the job.

413
00:19:24,060 --> 00:19:25,110
- All right.

414
00:19:25,190 --> 00:19:27,280
Anything else, Lieutenant?

415
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:28,490
- Yes.

416
00:19:28,610 --> 00:19:31,240
This is Larry's info.

417
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,530
And you are gonna deliver it
to him right after shift.

418
00:19:38,830 --> 00:19:40,250
- Do you recognize those names?

419
00:19:40,330 --> 00:19:41,870
- Sure.

420
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,290
It's every food truck
connected to

421
00:19:43,330 --> 00:19:44,790
the transformer
fire investigation.

422
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,130
- Right.

423
00:19:46,210 --> 00:19:47,500
So if you're aware of it,
how come

424
00:19:47,550 --> 00:19:49,720
they never made it
into the official report?

425
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,340
You being the interim captain,
is there any reason

426
00:19:52,380 --> 00:19:54,300
why they were withheld
from Van Meter?

427
00:19:54,390 --> 00:19:57,010
- What would that be?
- I don't know.

428
00:19:57,100 --> 00:19:58,520
But if you make the solve,
that sure makes the case

429
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,440
for you to stay in that seat.

430
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,810
- I'm not making any case,
Lieutenant.

431
00:20:03,980 --> 00:20:08,030
I'm very aware
I'm in an interim position.

432
00:20:08,070 --> 00:20:09,820
I don't know what file
you're looking at.

433
00:20:09,900 --> 00:20:11,990
The witness statement
is in our system.

434
00:20:12,110 --> 00:20:14,530
Not only that,
but we ran with that lead.

435
00:20:14,620 --> 00:20:17,790
And I identified the food truck
responsible for the fire.

436
00:20:17,910 --> 00:20:19,450
They were reported
to the authorities.

437
00:20:21,830 --> 00:20:23,080
- So you're telling me
the case is closed?

438
00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:24,750
- Yes, weeks ago.

439
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,840
Van Meter closed it himself.

440
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,480
Did Van Meter put you
on this case?

441
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,810
- Well, no, I--

442
00:20:45,940 --> 00:20:48,070
I was doing some follow-up
on some open cases,

443
00:20:48,110 --> 00:20:49,690
and I must have
pulled the wrong file.

444
00:20:49,730 --> 00:20:54,110
It's--
it's my mistake, Captain.

445
00:20:54,150 --> 00:20:56,160
- If you want a copy of the
file, one of the assistants

446
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:57,660
up front can help you out.

447
00:21:26,391 --> 00:21:27,471
- It's a client gift.

448
00:21:27,790 --> 00:21:29,040
Pretty cool?

449
00:21:29,130 --> 00:21:32,260
- I guess if you're
into urban planning.

450
00:21:32,673 --> 00:21:34,380
Incident reports you requested.

451
00:21:34,420 --> 00:21:35,880
- Oof.

452
00:21:36,423 --> 00:21:37,130
All right.

453
00:21:37,260 --> 00:21:39,430
Well, let's cut to it.
How screwed am I?

454
00:21:39,550 --> 00:21:43,220
- You'll be happy to know that
the billboard tech you hired,

455
00:21:43,310 --> 00:21:45,940
it was because of
his own actions

456
00:21:46,020 --> 00:21:47,400
that put him in the hospital.

457
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,110
- Well, relieved, maybe,
but not happy, no.

458
00:21:51,190 --> 00:21:54,820
- Either way, I guess
you're off the hook.

459
00:21:54,940 --> 00:21:57,150
- You know, I saw
that look on your face

460
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,620
when I came by the firehouse.

461
00:21:59,660 --> 00:22:01,030
I've seen it a lot.

462
00:22:02,990 --> 00:22:04,660
Just so you know, what I do,
it's not what people think,

463
00:22:04,750 --> 00:22:06,000
not all the time.

464
00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:08,250
Anyway, like the client
that gave me that

465
00:22:08,370 --> 00:22:09,540
was a city bus driver.

466
00:22:09,630 --> 00:22:11,340
She drove a lot
of those routes herself.

467
00:22:11,460 --> 00:22:14,590
And then one day,
bus fell into a trench

468
00:22:14,710 --> 00:22:17,170
that wasn't properly covered,
left her with a broken back,

469
00:22:17,220 --> 00:22:19,930
paralyzed from the waist down.

470
00:22:20,050 --> 00:22:22,930
Developers said it was her
fault, lobbied the city

471
00:22:23,010 --> 00:22:25,520
to yank her pension
as leverage.

472
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,940
So I took that case pro bono,
and I dug up a ton of proof,

473
00:22:29,020 --> 00:22:32,820
said that that trench
had been unsafe for weeks.

474
00:22:32,900 --> 00:22:34,860
I got my client a lot of money,

475
00:22:34,900 --> 00:22:36,820
much more than she ever would
have made in five lifetimes

476
00:22:36,900 --> 00:22:39,660
driving a bus.

477
00:22:39,740 --> 00:22:42,410
Doesn't bring her legs back,
but...

478
00:22:42,490 --> 00:22:43,990
it's a whole lot better
than nothing.

479
00:22:45,910 --> 00:22:50,540
- So you hold people
who screw up accountable

480
00:22:50,580 --> 00:22:53,340
when things go south?

481
00:22:53,420 --> 00:22:54,920
- Yeah, that's right.

482
00:22:57,550 --> 00:22:59,340
- You gonna keep me
in suspense?

483
00:22:59,470 --> 00:23:02,640
What's the status on that case?

484
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,680
- Well,
your instincts were right.

485
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,730
It wasn't anybody from
the Valencia Bar and Grill.

486
00:23:07,810 --> 00:23:11,190
Turns out it was a food truck
driver parked nearby.

487
00:23:11,270 --> 00:23:13,060
- I knew you'd crack it.

488
00:23:13,190 --> 00:23:15,650
- The thing is, Tom, that case
had been solved already

489
00:23:15,730 --> 00:23:17,650
before your injury.

490
00:23:23,030 --> 00:23:25,030
Captain Hargrave had already

491
00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:29,210
ID'd the vendor responsible,
and...

492
00:23:29,290 --> 00:23:32,170
you signed off
on the final report.

493
00:23:44,010 --> 00:23:47,560
- Yeah, of course
the case was closed.

494
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,020
I only needed you to
double check Hargrave's work.

495
00:23:50,100 --> 00:23:51,600
After all,
she's a forensics expert,

496
00:23:51,690 --> 00:23:54,270
not a field investigator.

497
00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:55,690
- Right, I get it.

498
00:23:55,770 --> 00:23:57,610
- I was just being thorough.

499
00:24:00,900 --> 00:24:04,160
- I think maybe might
be a good idea to see somebody.

500
00:24:06,700 --> 00:24:09,830
A neurologist, you know,
just to be safe.

501
00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:12,540
What are you
talking about safe?

502
00:24:12,670 --> 00:24:13,750
You can see I'm fine.

503
00:24:13,830 --> 00:24:16,290
- Yeah, but a doc
like that, I mean,

504
00:24:16,380 --> 00:24:19,460
can give you a better idea
of exactly what's going on.

505
00:24:19,550 --> 00:24:22,340
I think your daughter,
Carrie, might wanna know too.

506
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,260
You know, taking a break, it
might not be such a bad idea.

507
00:24:27,390 --> 00:24:28,720
- Who the hell do you
think you are,

508
00:24:28,810 --> 00:24:30,310
telling your captain
what to do?

509
00:24:32,100 --> 00:24:35,230
You're way out of
your lane, Lieutenant.

510
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,400
- Here, let me help.

511
00:24:49,700 --> 00:24:51,040
- Don't come in here
telling me what to do.

512
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:52,540
Understand?

513
00:24:54,750 --> 00:24:57,840
You're not family.

514
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,050
You're just a firefighter
who works for me.

515
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,760
You can go.

516
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:05,800
Dismissed.

517
00:25:14,140 --> 00:25:15,770
- Yes, sir.

518
00:25:26,530 --> 00:25:28,120
- So the chief has had me
on his hip for a while.

519
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,580
But I was surprised
that he brought me along

520
00:25:29,660 --> 00:25:30,950
for the training trip, so.

521
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,500
Sounds like you made
quite the impression.

522
00:25:32,540 --> 00:25:36,290
- Yeah, of course he has,
taught him everything he knows.

523
00:25:36,370 --> 00:25:37,920
- My chief has heard
an earful about you.

524
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,290
Believe me.

525
00:25:43,590 --> 00:25:45,970
- You know what, guys?
Next round's on me.

526
00:25:46,010 --> 00:25:49,050
Carver, feel free to
take it up a notch, man.

527
00:25:49,100 --> 00:25:50,300
- I don't drink,
but thanks.

528
00:25:50,390 --> 00:25:52,560
Sorry.

529
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,230
- So how's the new guy doing?

530
00:25:55,270 --> 00:25:56,690
- He's a smoke eater.

531
00:25:56,730 --> 00:25:58,270
- He's been a good addition
to the team so far.

532
00:25:58,350 --> 00:26:00,190
- Yeah, he's a
really good dude.

533
00:26:00,270 --> 00:26:01,190
- He plays things
a little close to the vest,

534
00:26:01,270 --> 00:26:02,820
but we're chipping away.

535
00:26:02,900 --> 00:26:04,360
- He's been starting
to open up recently.

536
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,110
Feels like we're finally
getting to know him.

537
00:26:07,150 --> 00:26:09,660
- Yeah, but you are missed,
Carver,

538
00:26:09,740 --> 00:26:11,080
if that's what
you're getting at.

539
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,210
- Back in a sec.
I wanna say hey to Weathersby.

540
00:26:17,250 --> 00:26:18,170
- All right.

541
00:26:25,090 --> 00:26:26,170
- Ooh, Carver.

542
00:26:26,300 --> 00:26:27,760
Listen, man,
I just wanna say that

543
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,090
I think it's great
that you're bringing

544
00:26:29,260 --> 00:26:31,640
the Joint Duty Program
to Denver.

545
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,560
- Yeah, okay.

546
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:35,980
- Well, no, I just mean
that Violet's worked

547
00:26:36,020 --> 00:26:37,020
super hard to bring it to life,

548
00:26:37,140 --> 00:26:39,190
so you know it means a lot
to her.

549
00:26:41,020 --> 00:26:43,070
I know exactly how much
it means to Violet,

550
00:26:43,150 --> 00:26:45,990
maybe more than anybody.

551
00:26:46,070 --> 00:26:47,700
I don't need you to tell me.

552
00:26:47,780 --> 00:26:49,360
- I'm sorry.
Do we have a problem?

553
00:26:49,450 --> 00:26:51,820
- There's no problem.

554
00:26:51,950 --> 00:26:54,790
Violet has been through hell
in the past.

555
00:26:54,830 --> 00:26:56,080
And she deserves the best.

556
00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:59,170
Not some hard-partying
tough guy

557
00:26:59,250 --> 00:27:00,580
with a chip on his shoulder.

558
00:27:11,735 --> 00:27:13,825
- He was so angry.

559
00:27:15,230 --> 00:27:16,810
For as long as
I've worked arson,

560
00:27:16,940 --> 00:27:19,100
it's always been Van Meter
right there with me.

561
00:27:19,230 --> 00:27:22,270
No hard words, no fights.

562
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,610
- You know it's not
really about you.

563
00:27:25,650 --> 00:27:29,450
- I should have called Carrie,
let her handle it.

564
00:27:29,570 --> 00:27:33,410
Like he said, I'm--
I'm not family.

565
00:27:33,490 --> 00:27:36,790
- Going behind his back
to his daughter

566
00:27:36,870 --> 00:27:42,960
would have felt like
a betrayal--to him and to you.

567
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,220
And you may not be family,
but your bond is real,

568
00:27:46,340 --> 00:27:47,510
and it's deep.

569
00:27:52,350 --> 00:27:55,600
- He was breathing so rough.

570
00:27:55,720 --> 00:28:00,690
Physically,
he's just...different.

571
00:28:02,730 --> 00:28:06,780
I don't know if he'll be able
to pass the physicals again.

572
00:28:06,820 --> 00:28:09,610
Ever.

573
00:28:09,740 --> 00:28:12,700
That must be killing him.

574
00:28:12,780 --> 00:28:16,120
- It's probably why
he's lashing out.

575
00:28:18,620 --> 00:28:23,090
Yeah, it reminds me of what
you used to say about your dad,

576
00:28:23,130 --> 00:28:28,760
just raging about
being disrespected.

577
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,140
You know,
work was his life too.

578
00:28:34,390 --> 00:28:36,560
- I didn't have much
sympathy back then.

579
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,730
Things were so bad between us.

580
00:28:38,770 --> 00:28:40,350
- All Benny wanted was to know

581
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,520
that his life's work
was worth it.

582
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,940
Just to feel needed,

583
00:28:47,070 --> 00:28:48,990
appreciated.

584
00:28:49,070 --> 00:28:52,490
- Too late to fix that now.

585
00:28:52,620 --> 00:28:56,990
And even if it wasn't, I don't
know what I could have done

586
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,910
or what I can do now
for Van Meter.

587
00:29:06,170 --> 00:29:07,630
- Hey, there.
- Top of the morning.

588
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,550
Ooh, guess what.

589
00:29:09,630 --> 00:29:11,880
I got a lead on a 2022
Challenger this morning.

590
00:29:11,970 --> 00:29:13,260
She might be the one.

591
00:29:13,430 --> 00:29:14,850
- That's very exciting.
- Yeah.

592
00:29:14,930 --> 00:29:16,430
Here, check her out.

593
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,770
Ooh.

594
00:29:18,810 --> 00:29:20,980
She's a beaut. How many miles?

595
00:29:21,100 --> 00:29:22,310
- 26--26,000.

596
00:29:22,390 --> 00:29:24,480
- It's not bad.
- Right?

597
00:29:24,610 --> 00:29:25,690
It's not bad at all.

598
00:29:27,820 --> 00:29:31,570
Hey, that Carver guy, is he
coming around again today or--

599
00:29:31,700 --> 00:29:33,410
- I heard he's coming
by the firehouse later

600
00:29:33,530 --> 00:29:35,910
but only to say
his fond farewells.

601
00:29:35,990 --> 00:29:37,660
- Seems to me like
he's having a hard time

602
00:29:37,790 --> 00:29:39,540
letting go?

603
00:29:39,660 --> 00:29:40,660
I'll see you out there.

604
00:29:44,670 --> 00:29:46,670
- Hey, Severide, wait up.

605
00:29:46,710 --> 00:29:48,750
- Hey.
- I wanted to ask you.

606
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,760
Do you think it's possible
that I could get my hands

607
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,050
on some of that OFI paperwork

608
00:29:54,130 --> 00:29:56,050
from the house fire
at my place?

609
00:29:56,100 --> 00:29:57,810
- You want the cause
and origin reports?

610
00:29:57,890 --> 00:30:00,270
- Specifically, it's anything
that's related

611
00:30:00,390 --> 00:30:02,350
to the oven unit
causing the fire.

612
00:30:02,430 --> 00:30:03,640
- What for?

613
00:30:05,850 --> 00:30:07,150
nothing, really.

614
00:30:07,190 --> 00:30:10,230
It's just I may have retained

615
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,440
Uncle Larry
as my legal counsel.

616
00:30:12,570 --> 00:30:15,450
No, it turns out
he's not so bad.

617
00:30:15,530 --> 00:30:17,450
I mean, he's a great guy
to have in your corner

618
00:30:17,530 --> 00:30:18,620
if something goes wrong.

619
00:30:18,740 --> 00:30:20,580
- Yeah, I've seen
the commercials.

620
00:30:20,740 --> 00:30:23,410
- Okay, well, Larry thinks
that with the OFI evidence

621
00:30:23,500 --> 00:30:25,620
that he might be able
to help Cindy and the kids

622
00:30:25,710 --> 00:30:27,170
and me get back up on our feet.

623
00:30:27,250 --> 00:30:30,250
But I want you to know none of
this would be possible

624
00:30:30,300 --> 00:30:32,590
if it hadn't been for you
and Van Meter

625
00:30:32,630 --> 00:30:35,340
being so dogged
in your investigation.

626
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,300
I owe you guys.

627
00:30:47,900 --> 00:30:50,400
- There you are.

628
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,030
I searched the whole
firehouse for you.

629
00:30:52,110 --> 00:30:55,150
- Sorry, I got caught up
looking for old Magill forceps

630
00:30:55,248 --> 00:30:59,338
since the CFD won't replace
the damaged ones, so.

631
00:30:59,410 --> 00:31:01,580
I'm so glad to hear
how well everything's

632
00:31:01,620 --> 00:31:03,620
going for you, Sam.
- Same.

633
00:31:03,700 --> 00:31:05,370
The Joint Duty Program,
it's something.

634
00:31:05,460 --> 00:31:07,630
- Yeah.

635
00:31:07,670 --> 00:31:10,460
I guess everything
worked out for the best.

636
00:31:13,130 --> 00:31:14,050
- Yeah.

637
00:31:20,686 --> 00:31:22,526
Talk soon.

638
00:31:22,742 --> 00:31:23,912
- Sounds good.

639
00:31:50,145 --> 00:31:52,315
- Lieutenant Severide again.

640
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:54,740
How's our friend
Van Meter doing?

641
00:31:55,013 --> 00:31:55,989
- Not sure.

642
00:31:56,014 --> 00:31:58,450
I haven't been able to get
in touch the last day or so.

643
00:31:58,500 --> 00:32:01,620
- He's probably just getting
bombarded with well wishes.

644
00:32:01,710 --> 00:32:02,920
So what brings you over?

645
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,130
- It's about the captain,
actually.

646
00:32:04,250 --> 00:32:07,670
Tom Van Meter
is the best fire captain

647
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,300
that has ever led OFI,
and I've known plenty.

648
00:32:10,380 --> 00:32:11,880
- So I've heard.

649
00:32:11,970 --> 00:32:16,100
- He saved a lot of lives
and a lot of livelihoods.

650
00:32:16,180 --> 00:32:18,140
After everything he's given
to this department,

651
00:32:18,180 --> 00:32:21,020
I think he deserves the chance
to be a part of it

652
00:32:21,100 --> 00:32:24,810
for as long as he wants to be,
even during recovery.

653
00:32:24,900 --> 00:32:26,980
- What are you asking?

654
00:32:27,070 --> 00:32:29,990
If he's still in recovery,
he can't come into the offices.

655
00:32:30,070 --> 00:32:32,950
And ultimately, if he
can't pass the physical,

656
00:32:33,070 --> 00:32:34,870
he can't be in the CFD.

657
00:32:34,950 --> 00:32:35,830
Simple as that.

658
00:32:35,870 --> 00:32:37,490
- That's exactly it.

659
00:32:37,620 --> 00:32:41,040
I've been thinking maybe
it's not that simple.

660
00:32:44,420 --> 00:32:48,050
Maybe there's another way.

661
00:32:48,130 --> 00:32:51,840
- So at the end of the day,
are you glad that

662
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,510
you got to see Carver?

663
00:32:53,550 --> 00:32:55,430
- Yeah, I think so.

664
00:32:55,550 --> 00:32:56,850
I don't know.

665
00:32:56,970 --> 00:32:58,680
I panicked at the last minute
about the idea

666
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,390
of saying goodbye again,
so I tried to hide.

667
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:03,730
- Did he find you?

668
00:33:03,810 --> 00:33:05,520
- He did.

669
00:33:05,610 --> 00:33:08,980
Then he was just so cool and
unemotional about everything.

670
00:33:09,110 --> 00:33:11,030
It just kind of pissed me off.

671
00:33:11,110 --> 00:33:12,900
You know?

672
00:33:12,950 --> 00:33:16,450
- Yeah, but who knows what's
really going through his head?

673
00:33:19,950 --> 00:33:21,330
Wow.

674
00:33:21,410 --> 00:33:24,120
Vasquez at Molly's
two off shifts in a row.

675
00:33:24,250 --> 00:33:25,880
This is new.

676
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,630
- Yeah.

677
00:33:27,750 --> 00:33:29,710
- Hey, what's up, Sal?
- What's going on?

678
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,510
- Nothing much. Join us.

679
00:33:33,590 --> 00:33:35,430
- Hey!
I've been waiting for you.

680
00:33:38,140 --> 00:33:39,810
- What's this?

681
00:33:39,930 --> 00:33:43,180
- All right, you know that
billboard lawyer, Uncle Larry?

682
00:33:43,270 --> 00:33:46,020
- It pays to have a lawyer
in the family.

683
00:33:46,100 --> 00:33:49,110
- Yeah, that's him.
Okay, this is a long story.

684
00:33:49,190 --> 00:33:54,900
But he ended up looking into
the stove that caused our fire.

685
00:33:54,990 --> 00:33:58,280
And it turns out that
we have a slam dunk

686
00:33:58,410 --> 00:34:01,540
liability case
against the manufacturer.

687
00:34:01,660 --> 00:34:02,950
- Is that right?

688
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,500
- Yeah, so he sends out
a demand letter,

689
00:34:04,540 --> 00:34:06,540
and he's expecting a, you know,

690
00:34:06,580 --> 00:34:08,330
the back and forth
and back and forth.

691
00:34:08,460 --> 00:34:10,750
And they don't wanna fight.

692
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,420
They just wanna
make this go away.

693
00:34:13,510 --> 00:34:15,170
They send back an offer.

694
00:34:17,720 --> 00:34:19,180
Go ahead.

695
00:34:19,260 --> 00:34:20,300
Take a look.

696
00:34:23,930 --> 00:34:26,560
Holy hell.

697
00:34:26,690 --> 00:34:28,940
Larry really did
make them cry uncle.

698
00:34:29,060 --> 00:34:33,480
Herrmann,
this is one serious payout.

699
00:34:33,570 --> 00:34:35,280
- Yeah.

700
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,200
And it's enough to rebuild
on our old lot.

701
00:34:38,240 --> 00:34:39,870
And that's what we're gonna do.

702
00:34:40,030 --> 00:34:41,410
- Wow.

703
00:34:41,490 --> 00:34:43,240
Herrmann, this is great.

704
00:34:43,330 --> 00:34:44,660
- Yeah.
- Really.

705
00:34:44,750 --> 00:34:47,960
Brother, after everything
you've been through,

706
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:49,670
and you finally get to go home.

707
00:34:58,130 --> 00:35:00,390
- Hey.

708
00:35:00,430 --> 00:35:02,760
Are you okay, Mouch?
- Why? Yeah.

709
00:35:02,850 --> 00:35:06,020
No, I'm just--
I'm happy for you.

710
00:35:06,100 --> 00:35:10,100
- Come on, you think that I
can't tell when something's up?

711
00:35:10,190 --> 00:35:12,020
Come on. I wanna know.

712
00:35:16,690 --> 00:35:18,400
- It's Firehouse 40.

713
00:35:18,490 --> 00:35:21,240
It's--it's not going great.

714
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,330
- Okay. I don't understand.

715
00:35:23,450 --> 00:35:26,500
You said the crew, great.

716
00:35:26,540 --> 00:35:28,250
You know, the bread.

717
00:35:28,370 --> 00:35:31,710
- I hate the bread.

718
00:35:31,830 --> 00:35:34,210
And I hate the way
those guys see me, you know?

719
00:35:34,250 --> 00:35:36,010
Like I'm just some old-timer.

720
00:35:36,090 --> 00:35:39,590
They got no clue how hard
I worked to get where I am

721
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,430
and the sacrifices it took,

722
00:35:41,510 --> 00:35:44,970
and not just my sacrifices,
yours too.

723
00:35:45,060 --> 00:35:50,230
Honestly,
I think it just hit me.

724
00:35:50,310 --> 00:35:53,060
This might really be
how I finish out the job.

725
00:35:53,110 --> 00:35:56,690
And if it's not at 51,

726
00:35:56,780 --> 00:35:58,820
I don't see what the point is.

727
00:36:00,990 --> 00:36:03,740
- Okay.

728
00:36:03,870 --> 00:36:07,410
You know, I stood
on the burned out lot

729
00:36:07,450 --> 00:36:09,000
that used to be our home.

730
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:13,000
And I thought to myself,
it's over.

731
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,590
We're never gonna get back.

732
00:36:15,710 --> 00:36:18,340
But now...

733
00:36:18,420 --> 00:36:21,300
anything can happen, Mouch.

734
00:36:21,380 --> 00:36:22,890
You just gotta believe that.

735
00:36:22,970 --> 00:36:27,430
And I know that you're
gonna get back home too.

736
00:36:30,390 --> 00:36:33,560
- You're halfway decent
at that, you know?

737
00:36:33,940 --> 00:36:37,110
Giving advice.

738
00:36:37,190 --> 00:36:40,030
- Don't let that get out,
because I got enough people

739
00:36:40,110 --> 00:36:42,860
bothering me as is.

740
00:36:50,580 --> 00:36:53,210
- Hey, Captain.
Sorry to just show up.

741
00:36:53,250 --> 00:36:54,330
I wasn't sure--
- I'm glad you're here.

742
00:36:54,500 --> 00:36:55,540
Come in.

743
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,390
I'm the one
who owes an apology.

744
00:37:04,550 --> 00:37:06,430
I'm sorry, Kelly.

745
00:37:06,470 --> 00:37:08,930
I know it wasn't easy
for you to say what you did.

746
00:37:08,970 --> 00:37:10,850
Hell, it took nerve.

747
00:37:10,930 --> 00:37:13,940
I told Carrie what you said.

748
00:37:14,020 --> 00:37:16,520
She went with me
to Med yesterday

749
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,110
to talk to a zoo
full of doctors.

750
00:37:19,150 --> 00:37:21,150
- Yeah, how'd it go?

751
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,200
- Well, turns out
I'm an old guy in need

752
00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:27,240
of some repair
and a little RandR.

753
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,700
But I'm not giving up, Kelly.

754
00:37:31,790 --> 00:37:35,460
Just so you know, I'm gonna
prove those doctors wrong.

755
00:37:35,580 --> 00:37:39,500
And I'll beat that
fit-for-duty exam.

756
00:37:39,590 --> 00:37:43,550
Might be a long shot,
but it's not impossible.

757
00:37:43,590 --> 00:37:46,470
- Well, if anyone can do it,
it's you.

758
00:37:46,510 --> 00:37:48,800
But in the meantime,
while you're getting assessed,

759
00:37:48,850 --> 00:37:50,510
take a break.

760
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,350
We should put you to use.

761
00:37:52,390 --> 00:37:53,770
- What are you talking about?

762
00:37:53,810 --> 00:37:56,480
- All the consulting firms
that we use at OFI,

763
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,480
like the ones who dug into
Herrmann's stove company,

764
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,270
I mean, you know how much the
department relies on them.

765
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,070
- Of course.

766
00:38:02,150 --> 00:38:03,530
- Well, Captain Hargrave
was hoping that you could

767
00:38:03,570 --> 00:38:05,780
help out in that capacity.

768
00:38:05,910 --> 00:38:06,950
- You mean go private?

769
00:38:07,030 --> 00:38:08,910
- Well, at least at first,
yeah.

770
00:38:08,990 --> 00:38:11,240
I mean, it would save our asses
having someone like you there

771
00:38:11,290 --> 00:38:14,660
with all the backlogged cases
we have.

772
00:38:14,710 --> 00:38:17,670
And I know you have
a lot on your plate, but...

773
00:38:17,710 --> 00:38:20,880
is that something that you'd be
interested in, Captain?

774
00:38:23,970 --> 00:38:27,890
- If they need me,
then yeah,

775
00:38:27,970 --> 00:38:29,430
I suppose I might have time
for that.

776
00:38:34,020 --> 00:38:37,100
Looks like Dr. John Frost
is finally off shift.

777
00:38:37,230 --> 00:38:39,190
See ya.
both:.

778
00:38:39,270 --> 00:38:41,610
- He does not seem like a John.

779
00:38:41,730 --> 00:38:43,860
- Can't you at least pretend
that you're sad to leave us?

780
00:38:43,940 --> 00:38:45,400
You guys, I'm--

781
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:46,860
I'm really gonna miss you.

782
00:38:46,900 --> 00:38:48,160
And also, see ya.

783
00:38:51,740 --> 00:38:53,200
Damn it.

784
00:38:53,290 --> 00:38:55,410
I forgot to tell her
I got the new Challenger.

785
00:38:55,450 --> 00:38:56,660
Yeah, it's in Frostbite Blue.

786
00:38:56,750 --> 00:38:57,870
- Very nice.

787
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,880
Yes, Kelly would approve.

788
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:01,340
- Yeah, that's why I'm on
soda and bitters all night,

789
00:39:01,420 --> 00:39:03,170
you know, I'm driving, so--

790
00:39:03,300 --> 00:39:04,960
- You should show us your car,
'cause we're gearheads too.

791
00:39:05,090 --> 00:39:06,220
- Hell yeah.

792
00:39:06,300 --> 00:39:07,340
I mean, it's parked
right outside.

793
00:39:07,470 --> 00:39:08,470
Come on, I'll show you.

794
00:39:10,930 --> 00:39:12,260
- You know what?

795
00:39:12,310 --> 00:39:13,640
I gotta start cleaning up.

796
00:39:13,720 --> 00:39:15,220
You two go.

797
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:17,730
- I'll give you the tour
next shift.

798
00:39:17,850 --> 00:39:18,770
- Okay.
- Promise you it's worth it.

799
00:39:18,850 --> 00:39:20,310
- All right.
- Thanks, Stella.

800
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:21,690
- Good night. Bye.

801
00:39:23,650 --> 00:39:24,610
- Thanks.

802
00:39:27,530 --> 00:39:28,700
Wow.

803
00:39:30,620 --> 00:39:32,030
- It's something, right?

804
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,120
- Yeah,
very cool Frostbite Blue.

805
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,830
I like it.

806
00:39:38,910 --> 00:39:41,420
- You want a ride?

807
00:39:41,500 --> 00:39:44,300
I owe you one.

808
00:39:44,380 --> 00:39:47,880
- Honestly, I'm in kind of
a bad headspace right now.

809
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,010
So it's probably better
for me to get an Uber

810
00:39:51,090 --> 00:39:54,890
and ruin another
driver's night instead.

811
00:39:54,970 --> 00:39:56,270
- Whatever you say.

812
00:40:00,690 --> 00:40:02,810
Hey, Vi.

813
00:40:02,900 --> 00:40:04,070
- Yeah?
- Question for you.

814
00:40:06,190 --> 00:40:07,150
- Okay.

815
00:40:07,190 --> 00:40:09,320
- When I first got to 51,

816
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,620
Kidd told me that I was
replacing a hell of a driver.

817
00:40:12,700 --> 00:40:13,870
I'm guessing that was Carver?

818
00:40:16,548 --> 00:40:18,798
- Yeah, that was Carver.

819
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:20,370
Why?

820
00:40:20,410 --> 00:40:24,290
- Just so you know,
I'm not Carver.

821
00:40:24,380 --> 00:40:25,290
Okay?

822
00:40:25,380 --> 00:40:30,130
I am nothing like him.

823
00:40:47,530 --> 00:40:49,650
- I'll take the ride.
