We got a hazmat situation
in here, Chief.

Macy and Holt are showing
signs of respiratory distress.

20 years on the job, I've
never seen anything like that.

Kelly Severide has
worked more arson cases

than anyone else out of OFI.

Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Benny Severide is dead.

Can't you let this go?

If Lieutenant Severide's the
one who taught you everything

you know about arson investigations,

he must be pretty damn good at it.

He is.

This needs to go over
to Internal Affairs.

I thought you were
coming back mid-shift!

No, I couldn't wait.

Drove straight from captain's
training, pedal to the metal.

Mm!

Do you think it's your
promotion orders already?

I don't know.

Hello?

Yes, sir. Just got back in.

Understood.

On my way.

Well?

They want me to come down
to Headquarters right now.

Wow.

Lieutenant Severide.

Thanks for coming down so quickly.

Chief Silva, Internal Affairs.

I wasn't told I was meeting with IAD.

Since you were at captain's training,

we were unable to conduct
an initial interview with you.

The case wasn't officially
opened until this morning.

Now that you're here,

you're under formal review
for dereliction of duty.

What dereliction?

Multiple instances of
leaving your assigned post

during active shift hours

without authorization
from the commissioner's office.

The only time I ever leave 51
is to assist OFI.

Exactly.

And you did so without requesting
clearance from Headquarters.

Who filed the complaint?

I'm afraid I'm not at liberty
to disclose that.

You will continue reporting for duty

while the investigation proceeds.

And of course, your promotion
is officially on hold,

pending the outcome.

Lieutenant,
this is a serious accusation.

Depending on our findings,
disciplinary action

could include suspension or termination.

Hey.

You know, you keep
getting in here early,

you're going to start
making us all look bad.

Relax. This isn't official CFD business.

It's actually a little writing
project I've been working on.

Oh, is Cyrus Mayberry making a comeback?

No. The nom de plume has been retired.

This is a Randall McHolland original.

Really?

We're not going to see any
"Sheets on Fire" sequels?

Nope. This one is strictly nonfiction.

In fact, some might even
call it a memoir.

A memoir? No kidding.

It's like, uh, "Book of Mouch?"

Title's still pending,
but yeah, something like that.

How long you been at it?

Couple months.

It goes back to when we had
to pull all that paperwork

to save my job.

I was reading all these reports
a-and commendations.

And I realized this is
40 years of stories right here.

All I have to do is put them
in order, add a little flair.

And you got yourself a book.

Just got to finish the intro
and Bob's your uncle.

- So let's see what you got.
- No, no, no, no.

No. No... no sneak peeks.

Fine, all I'm asking is
that when you describe me,

you use the phrase "salt of the Earth."

Who says you're in it at all?

Vasquez, Mikami, and Novak
all have the shift off.

They're dealing with police
follow-up on the hostage situation.

So Ambulance 61 is out of service?

- Yes.
- OK.

And 81 will have a floater.

Copy that. I'll get the paperwork going.

- And, uh, Lucy?
- Mm-hmm?

As the battalion chief's assistant,

you have access
to all CFD personnel files.

Mm-hmm.

So I'd like you to gather
a number of résumés for me.

Yes, sir. Résumés for what position?

I'm looking for someone to take
over as the Lieutenant on Squad.

Uh...

You put me under review?

Uh, excuse me.

I take it you heard
from Internal Affairs.

You didn't want to tell it to my face?

You had to sneak it in
while I was away training?

The timing has nothing
to do with its validity.

Your past Battalion Chiefs
may have turned a blind eye.

And they were good men.

But it was on you to seek
authorization from Headquarters

before leaving your assigned post.

It's not like I was out running errands.

I was with OFI.

Working for the CFD!

If a chief at Pascal's level

can be fired for breaking the rules,

what makes you think you're so special?

I'll fight this.

On what grounds?

Maybe you've hurt 51
more than you realize.

Maybe you should have transferred
to OFI before it came to this.

You break the rules,
you pay the consequences.

Nobody in the CFD is above them.

Not even a Severide.

Termination for assisting OFI?

It's the worst-case scenario,
but it's on the table.

Hopkins did not seem like
the kind of guy

who was looking for a fight last shift.

He was praising us both.

He said he was glad to be a part of 51.

- What changed?
- Nothing changed.

This isn't about OFI
or any dereliction of duty.

It's Benny.

You think this is about
your dad suspending him?

That was 20-plus years ago.

Hopkins has been on me
since the second he got here.

When I was at training,

I... I kept digging through
old disciplinary files

trying to figure out what the
hell he did to get suspended.

And?

Thin paper trail. No details.

It must have been bad, then.

Or messy.

Benny wasn't exactly known
for clean lines.

So this is retaliation.

Feels like it.

I mean, I...

if I can figure out what the hell
actually happened between them

and bring it to IAD, maybe I
can get them to shut this down

before it gains any traction.

Yeah, but you go digging for info now,

you're putting yourself
on the line, Kelly.

You're interfering
with an active investigation.

This isn't just about me, Stella,

it's about protecting 51
from a commander

who's willing to weaponize procedure.

Can't just sit on my hands.

But you also cannot put yourself

front and center of the hunt.

Maybe there's a way I can.

Let's take a beat.

Let me think about this.

And then let's you and me
do this together.

OK.

Jamie Holt? I'll be damned!

- Reporting for duty.
- Ah!

You look good, man.

Don't act so surprised.

Well, you know,
after everything we all went through,

you went through on that airplane call.

It's nice to see you on your feet again.

- You with us today?
- Yeah.

Covering for Vasquez on 81.

I've been picking up extra
shifts here and there

just to make up for the lost time.

Well, you are in great hands with Kidd.

But I gotta know,

are you still thinking about
trying out for Squad?

- Absolutely.
- Yeah. There it is.

Hey, uh, how's Kidd
been doing, by the way?

I know her and Macy were pretty tight.

A loss like that is...

Yeah, she's still working
through it, you know?

Finally got Girls on Fire
back up and running again.

We all hosted the first one
about a month ago.

- One day at a time.
- Mm.

Any lockers up for grabs?

Follow me.

Hey.

I thought writing was
supposed to be torture.

Well, as Dorothy Parker said,

"I hate writing,
but I love having written."

So you got the introduction done?

I'm just proofing it now,
and I have to say,

I think it turned out pretty good.

Don't be shy. Share it with the class.

Aw, nah. They don't want to hear this.

Yes, they do. Hey, come on.

Guys, listen up!
Mouch has written a book.

About us.

How much about us?

Oh, don't worry. Names have
been changed to protect the guilty.

All right, here's, uh...

here's a bit from the opening.

"As we pull up to the house,

"smoke billows from the basement.

"A strange, haunted chill
hangs in the air.

"Tommy from Squad knows why.

"'This isn't just any house, ' he says.

"'It's one of the only spots
still standing

"from the Great Chicago Fire.'

"A shiver runs down my spine.

"I realize we're pilgrims
in an unholy land.

"And as we mask up,
Chief Bodette gives a war cry.

"If the Great Fire
couldn't take this house down,

I'll be damned if it falls on my watch!"

What happened next?

You'll have to read to find out.

We saved the house.

Hey! Spoiler!

Capp, you were there.

Truck 81, Squad 3, Engine 51.

Structure fire, 1601 Winston Plaza.

Battalion 31 to Main,
requesting additional ambos.

Engine, get a line in there
and find that fire!

Copy that, Chief!

Truck 81, primary search.

Squad, assist with search
and open up the rear.

Copy that. Cruz, with me.

Tony, Capp, you guys take the rear.

Hey!

Hey, do you know how many
people might still be in there?

I don't know. Um, people come and go.

It's been empty for months.

Chief, people were living in there.

Not sure the number,

but who knows what
we may be walking into.

Let's get in there before the
whole building flashes over.

Copy, Chief.

Mouch, you guys keep
pushing it down the middle.

- Keep it from wrapping.
- Got it.

Send the water!

Let's fan out, check every aisle.

All right. We'll take the
D side, meet you in the middle.

Copy.

If you find bodies, pull 'em out!

Fire department! Call out!

Fire department! Call out!

We got flames venting through the roof.

You have three minutes. Make it count.

Fire department! Call out!

Cruz, check the next one.

Yeah, copy that.

Firefighters! Call out!

- Check that.
- Copy.

Hey, firefighters! Call out!

- Hey! Follow me!
- Here!

Yeah!

Stay there, I got you! Hang on!

Come on.

Come here.

Stay down.

- Is anybody else in there?
- No.

All right, come here.

Chief!

We got two more coming out to you!

One more minute.

Find your exit point!

Firefighters! Call out!

Firefighters! Call out!

Holt! Wait!

Holt!

Hey, keep moving!

Time's up. Evacuate
the building immediately!

The roof is going.

Hey, Holt. Come on, man.
We gotta clear out.

- Let's go.
- Hey, let's grab him and go!

Yeah, we're on it, Lieutenant.

Come on, let's go. Let's move it.

51, report. What's your status?

Coming out with another victim, Chief.

No pulse.

Pupils fixed and dilated.

Respirations?

Triple-zero.

The victim is too far gone
to resuscitate.

All companies surround and drown.

- Nobody enters the building.
- Copy.

Setting up a deck gun, Chief.

51, let's move!

What did they do to my store?

You the owner of this building?

Yeah. I got a call.

The guy next door said it was on fire.

People were living inside.
One of them was killed.

Oh, my God.

Holt. Hey.

- You OK?
- All good, Lieutenant.

Wait, wait.

Listen.

You don't have to pretend with me.

We went through something together.

Thanks, Lieutenant, but I'm fine.

I just gotta shake it off for a minute.

What'd you see in there?

Caught the smell of gasoline in the back

close to where you found your victim.

Could be generator fuel.

Or an accelerant.

- Kelly.
- I know.

I know I can't reach out to OFI,

but I can flag it with Hopkins,
let him make the call.

Yeah.

Hey.

That was one hell of an awful call, huh?

Poor guy.

At least we were able
to get the others out.

Yeah.

What are you holding back there?

This is it.

My memoir. It's officially done.

Well, how's it read?

You tell me.

I was hoping you'd be my first reader.

Come on. Me?

Who better?

You know my story about
as well as anyone else.

OK.

What can I say?

- It'll be my honor.
- Ah.

Just need you to read the intro for now.

See if you feel like it sets the stage

for the rest of the book.

And listen, if you have
feedback, I want it, OK?

I'm no wilting flower here.
I can take criticism.

Just let me read the thing.

- Copy that.
- All right.

- Enjoy the read.
- Thank you.

Oh, you mean right now?

You mind?

I-I'll take care of this.

OK.

You got it.

Hey, Lieutenant, you have a second?

Of course.

What's going on?

Um, I know about Severide
and the internal review.

It's not fair.

No, it's not.

You... you heard them this morning?

Yeah, but that's not why I'm here.

The Chief had me deliver the charge

to Headquarters when Severide was away.

I didn't want to. I...

I almost called him
just to give him a heads-up.

- It just...
- Oh, no.

Hey.

You were just doing your job, all right?

And if you would have called him,

that would have just
put you on thin ice.

It just feels like
I helped blindside him.

You didn't.

Hopkins filed the charge, IAD opened it.

And that is on them.

- It's not on you.
- Yeah.

You really think they're
going to punish him

for stepping up and helping?

We'll see. I'm getting into it.

Thank you, Lucy.

Don't beat yourself up about this, OK?

Hey. How you doing?

That, uh... that fire was something.

And that victim, it's...

A miracle there weren't more
of them like that.

Yeah.

Took us both a sec to recover.

Makes sense.

I felt for the guy, that's all.

But we roll with the punches
best we can, right?

It's part of the job.

Right. Part of the job.

Hey.

I am just going
to call the CFD directly.

I'll use my name, not yours,

and just ask to pull a bunch
of files from that era

with Benny and Hopkins.

Just see what we can get.

I like it.

Lieutenant Severide.

I contacted Captain Hargrave,

passed along your observations
from the scene.

She's here with a request.

Since there was a fatality,

the Halloween Village fire
is now an OFI priority.

I reached out to CFD Headquarters

and already secured approval
to bring you in.

It wouldn't have been my call,

but it seems it was already in motion.

Cruz will act up a Squad Lieutenant

for the remainder of shift.

Yes, sir.

I'd like to tour the scene together.

You can walk me through what you saw.

I'll grab my coat.

You and I work well together

despite the current situation
and your personal connection

to Lieutenant Severide.

This is not about
my relationship, Chief.

It's about 51 as a whole.

Which you've said yourself,
it's a great firehouse.

And it's a close one.

We stick together.

So if Severide is sidelined...

51 isn't the only great firehouse

in this city, Lieutenant.

I'd hate to see it broken up.

But if that's what it takes
to clean up the CFD,

that's a price I'm willing to pay.

Here are the résumés
you asked for, Chief.

- Oh, thank you.
- Mm.

Anything else?

Yeah. I wanted to say thank you.

For bringing me on as your assistant.

You're welcome.

You're doing good work.

I appreciate that.

Because I love it here at 51.

It's a really special place

and it's a special group of people.

So yeah, thank you.

And fast-track it if you can.

I'd like those files
by end of shift today.

I appreciate it. OK.

Yeah, let me know if you find something.

OK.

Lieutenant?

- Hey.
- Hey.

Um, I'm guessing that you heard

that Severide's assisting OFI
on that case, right?

I did, yeah. Why? What's up?

I was wondering if I could
grab Holt to run some drills

since we're a man short.

A while back, he mentioned some interest

in gunning for Squad one day.

And he must have enough training by now

to be useful on the floor.

Is that the only reason?

Uh, might give him a boost, you know.

Training with the top guns of 51.

- Mm.
- Mm.

Yeah, I, um, I...

I... I saw him
kind of lock up a little bit

during that last call.

And he said he was fine.

Yeah, don't we all?

He's traveling some rough road.

I know you get it.

Mm.

Yeah, bring him in for the drill.

- Thank you, Lieutenant.
- Mm-hmm.

Back here, this is where

I first caught the smell of gasoline.

It's still hanging in the air.

See the V-pattern?

Possible point of origin.

It looks like a hot plate.

It makes sense if they were living here.

Yeah, but butane burns clean.

If this were accidental,
you'd have vertical damage,

but there's deep charring
in the floor here.

Hydrocarbons.

It's gasoline.

Look at this.

Heavy pour pattern.

Dump a few gallons
of gasoline under a hot plate,

turn it on, you're halfway home
before it heats up

and ignites the vapors.

This wasn't someone making dinner.

If we can trace this,
we have our ignition source.

And maybe our arsonist.

Well?

I'm dying here. What'd you think?

Oh, it's solid work, Mouch. Really.

What does solid mean?

Well, there's great stuff
in the introduction.

You know, the way that you bring the...

the first call to life.

I mean, you got a gift, Mouch.

Seriously.

OK.

Feels like there's a "but" after that.

Well, yeah, if I'm going
to be honest, I... I...

I do feel like there is,
you know, something missing.

All right.

Well, uh, I'm not really
a creative type like you,

so I... I don't got the words.

It's just that I feel like
it needs to be, uh...

A there there.

"A there there"?

Yeah.

Can you be more specific?

It's just I feel like...

it's... it's missing a piece.

- And that is?
- The...

the there there.

OK, forget it.

Oh, come on.
You said that you wanted feedback.

Herrmann, this...

isn't feedback.

OK, so I don't know how to phrase it.

I told you that this is not my world.

No.

Obviously not.

What?

Hey, I'm just trying to help.

All right, listen up, gentlemen.

We got a roof collapse.

One victim pinned in.

Our mission is to extricate.

Start by stabilizing.

Build yourself a safe work zone.

Good, good. You got it. Just keep going.

Good, good.

All right. Now take it easy, control.

Don't muscle it.

I'm done.

Hey, man, don't worry about it.

Look, you don't have
anything to prove here.

Let's just stack them up
and we'll run it again.

You think I need this?

You not my lieutenant,

and I'm not your project,
so just back the hell off.

Yo, Holt.

Any sign of a pressure event
from the canister?

No blast signature.

If it vented, it just fed the fire.

You hear that?

Hey! Stop!

Man, get off me!

This is an active fire scene.
You can't be in here.

Then what are you doing here?

Office of Fire Investigation.

I... I didn't know.

I thought... I thought
maybe you got to it first.

Got to what?

Whatever started the fire.

We saw you back there
packing something up.

The owner of this place,
he just put out a reward.

100 grand.

He said he'd pay cash
to know how it started.

- 100 grand?
- Yeah.

Everyone at the shelter's
talking about it.

We booked it here as soon as we heard.

So you ducked our tape and broke in here

hoping to find what?

I don't know. Anything.

Something worth that type of money.

Firehouse 51, this is Lucy.

Hi, this is Vivette in Personnel.

I'm returning a call.

Oh!

Thank you. I...
I already got the résumés.

The email came in a couple hours ago.

Oh, this isn't about résumés, actually.

I spoke to Lieutenant Kidd earlier.

Can you let her know I was told

she does not have access
to the files she requested?

Oh, OK.

She can reroute the request
through her superior, if that helps.

Right.

Um, when I see her next shift,
I will let her know.

Thank you.

How's the case coming along?

Uh, it looks like the stove
here was the ignition point.

Trying to pull an identifier.

Serial stamp, manufacturer code,

anything that ties it to a purchase.

Not much left.

Well, we're exploring other angles.

Hargrave's back at OFI

fielding a tidal wave of tips coming in.

Owner put up 100 grand.

Insurance policy
contingent on cause, huh?

Maybe.

I can see how invested you are.

That kind of focus is an asset.

But passion doesn't override
procedure, Lieutenant.

Solving this case won't buy you
any leniency with IAD.

Hi. Is there someone I can talk to

about the Halloween Village
fire yesterday?

- You were there.
- Yeah.

So were we. What's going on?

I know who started it.

You got a sec?

Was hoping maybe we could clear the air.

Course.

Me storming off like that,

that was my ego talking.

It's not an excuse, but
getting notes on your writing

can be tough.

And I know you were just trying to help.

It's not like I was giving
you any solid gold ideas.

To be fair, I didn't
give you much of a chance.

You were hovering a little.

Yeah, just...

The intro is great and the
book is going to be great.

I just should have left it at that.

No. I... I meant what I said.

I really do want your thoughts.

Well, I have been thinking more about

what I think is missing.

You figured out the "there there"?

I did.

It's you.

Me?

This is your story, Mouch.

The opening rescue, that's great,

but what I need is more Mouch,
your journey.

All the things that you've been through,

that's what I think is going
to make this stand out.

What, you...

you think I should lead with that?

Well, people are going
to care about the book

because they care about you.

Let them see Mouch the way I do.

Huh.

And that's my two cents.

That's a good note, Herrmann.

Thank you.

Are you going to add a chapter

about how I saved your book?

Would you settle for a footnote?

Wait. Did you catch Holt
before he took off?

I got so wrapped up
in other house business

that I didn't get a chance
to check in with him again,

so he left after shift
without saying a word.

I mean, I don't know
if more attention from us

would have been helpful, honestly.

None of us are wired to talk,

but I just feel for the guy.

You know, he has his team
at 68 to keep him afloat.

Yeah.

We heard you started using again.

That's why I'm here.

We were also told you had issues

with some of the other squatters.

And the fire started in
the area you camp out in.

I wasn't there.

I've been locked up in here
trying to get clean.

You can't come and go?

It's not a hotel.

Well, we have someone
that places you at the scene.

Says you own a butane stove.

Well, then they're lying.

Who said that?

Jamila?

What, that old-timer, Frankie?

Acts like he's a HOA president
or something?

Man, I wasn't there.

I didn't start any fire.

When did you check in here?

Last Thursday.

Social worker dragged me
up out of the store

in front of everybody.

Look, I ain't left here since.

You can check at the front.

They keep a close eye on us.

Hey, hon. It's me.
We're still running down leads.

It's a bit of a mess.

Might be out late. Give me a call.

Front desk confirmed it.

He was here all week,
logged in and out of meetings.

No exits.

Why the hell would Taryn put him there?

Can think of 100,000 reasons.

Once a reward gets thrown in,
people jump in, start guessing.

It's impossible to tell what's real

and what's a wild goose chase.

Maybe that's the point.

I assume this is urgent,

since I got called out of the office.

- You got a lead?
- Even better.

We solved the case.

Confirmed arson. Thanks to Taryn.

Looks like she gets her $100,000 reward.

She brought you proof?
Because that's a lot of money.

Yeah, it was a mattress
in the back storage area.

Somebody lit it and ran.

That's not...

Not what?

Well, I just mean, uh,
you sound pretty sure.

You must have evidence.

We do.

Well, I'd like to see it.

I think that's fair if I'm
going to hand over $100,000.

I'm going to guess
he doesn't have the cash.

Makes sense, considering his property

was struggling to lease.

Been in the hole for years.

Worth more as an insurance payout.

Should have been easy.

Make it look like a cooking accident,

some careless squatter.

But then I called and told you
there was suspicion on cause

and suddenly, a reward went out.

And you had to change plans,

destroy the scene,
corrupt the investigation.

That's absurd.

I was just trying to help you solve it.

Well, we pulled a partial
off the hot plate.

Nice, detailed ridge.

You willing to give us your print?

I want a lawyer.

OK.

Then let's get you to the holding cell.

So that's it?

I'm done here?

Yeah, you did good.

He walked right into it.

Well, you did your part.

The second he saw you,
he started to unravel.

Sorry there won't be any reward.

Mm.

100 grand would've been great.

But, um,

the guy who died, Angelo,

he was a good person.

He'd let you borrow his phone charger.

He always shared whatever food he had.

He didn't deserve that.

You know, we didn't even
have to break in.

The back door was unlocked

and no one ever tried to kick us out.

Thank you for not standing me up.

Listen. The way I acted
during those drills,

blowing up at you,
that was uncalled for.

And you should know
I'm rethinking going for Squad.

So I...

I guess I wouldn't have been
much use anyway.

Jamie, I, uh, I spoke to
your lieutenant on 68.

I know you haven't been
back to your firehouse

since the airplane call.

Trying to get right
before I go back there.

Macy was a friend, you know?

We, um, we had this guy on Truck, Otis.

Great firefighter.

More than that.
You know, he was a... a brother.

My best friend.

He died in the line of duty.

And, uh,

when that happened, man, I...

I didn't think
I'd ever go back to 51 again.

But the thing is...

if you want to get right,

you got to go back.

You don't get to skip the part

where you feel their presence
everywhere.

For what?

She's gone.

I don't need that constant reminder.

But you're not in on it alone.

That's the whole point
of your firehouse.

They know exactly what you're feeling.

'Cause they're carrying it, too.

So go back.

For your sake and theirs.

They're waiting for you, man.

"Around the firehouse,
they call me Mouch.

"Which, for the uninitiated, is
short for half man, half couch.

"And for 30 years now, that's
been the name I answer to.

"As you might imagine,
given that moniker,

"I was never the likeliest
candidate for glory.

"And yet, here I am,
in the twilight of my career,

"against all odds,
answering to a new name...

"Lieutenant.

"These are the accounts

of Lieutenant
Randall 'Mouch' McHolland."

Wow.

That's perfect.

I wouldn't change a thing.

And the only thing you need now
is a title.

- Yeah, I already got one.
- Yeah?

"From Couch to Command."

Oh, I like that.

It's very you.

That's the idea.

So what happens now?

Uh, I send it out, see if any
publishers are interested in

this.

Come on.

Who wouldn't want that?

- Thank you.
- Ah.

Before we go, I heard about
the charge against you.

There might be a way I can help.

I'm listening.

As you know, I'm only the interim head

of this department.

My plan's always been
to go back to Forensics.

But if I recommend you
as my permanent replacement,

I can fast-track it.

So you're saying OFI can shield me?

I'm saying they're not going to
drag the newly-appointed head of OFI

through a public IAD investigation.

Not with your arson record,
your conviction rate,

your reputation.

It'd be a bad look for the CFD.

You step into the job
before they get their footing.

You leave 51, take the position.

You'd be free and clear.

So I just outrun it.

It won't look like you're running.

It'll look like a promotion.

There's my girl.

Hey, Dad.

Working through dinner.

- I'm shocked.
- Want some food?

No, I had a burger at Laney's place.

Ah.

That have to do with
the Halloween Village fire?

How do you know about that?

Bunch of social media posts about it.

Mm.

The guy died in there, right?

Yep. Arson.

Hmm.

You going to catch who did it?

One of my men did. Just today.

Damn. That was fast.

- Mm.
- Your guy must be good.

He is.

Bet he can't solve
my trig homework, though.

Literally no one can.
