Morning, Lieutenant Kidd.

I like the sound of that,

a position yet.

I know, I know, it could take
a while,

so I am just gonna focus
on the fact that I passed

and be grateful.

- Smart.

- What's up?

- Want to talk to the two
of you about Kidd's future.

There are no spots at 51,

not even on other shifts,
and so, unfortunately,

she will have to go elsewhere.

I want us to do what we can

to make sure she places
at a good house.

- Of course.
How can we help?

- You could do some research,

find out where the next opening
is likely to be,

and then lobby for her
at the best house available.

- I'm happy to help
with research,

but I'll recuse myself
when it comes to the lobbying.

- No problem.

As her commanding officer,
I'd be glad to cover that part.

- Great.

And don't mention this to Kidd
just yet.

I don't want
to get her hopes up.

Who knows how this'll play out?

- Got it.

- Appreciate everything
you've done for Stella, Chief.

So does she.

- Yeah.

- Hey!

Gabby said to send her love.

She heard about Mouch's medal,

and was calling
to congratulate him.

She asked me to record
the ceremony for her.

She really misses everyone
here.

- That's really sweet of her
to check in.

Hope you told her
we miss her, too.

I need some sugar.
Sugar makes me happy.

- I've been meaning to ask,
how are things with Grainger?

Haven't seen him at Molly's
in a while.

- Uh, yeah.

We broke up.

- Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

- Greg is a great guy.
It had nothing to do with him.

I'm the problem, looking
for something I can never have.

- What makes you so sure
you can't?

I mean, from what I've seen,
you already do.

I picked up on it
the day I got to 51.

You and Casey, the way you are
with each other,

it's kind of undeniable.

- Where do you even host
a medal ceremony?

Like, do you think
the union hall would be

a good place for something
like this?

- I guess we could reserve
a private room at a restaurant.

- Okay.

- Although,
maybe it should be outdoors.

- What if we do it on the patio
at Molly's?

It's outdoors.
There's a bar right there.

- You want Mouch to host
his own medal ceremony

at his own bar?

There must be a thousand venues
in Chicago

that would make it feel
like a really special day,

like, just off the top
of my head,

one of the dozen or so
classy old private clubs.

- That actually sounds
pretty nice.

What's a private club?

- Okay, clearly you two are
both out of your depth.

Would you like some help
with this little assignment?

- That'd be great.
- Yes.

- Okay.

- Violet, have you ever met
Mouch's wife, Trudy?

- I don't think so.
Why?

- Mm, just curious.

Anyway...

the rock star.

Ah, Mark Newcomb.

Nice to meet you down here
at a more reasonable altitude.

- Oh.
- You like whiskey?

Best bourbon you'll ever taste.

- Oh, that's not necessary.

I was in a white knuckle panic
up there, Joe.

Then you came along,

and what you did,
it was incredible.

- All in a day's work.
- And I Googled you, man.

I came across this video of you
demonstrating your invention,

the Slamigan?

- Oh, yeah?

- What a beast.

I read on your website

into other projects?

- Yeah, yeah, Lady Bunker Gear,
coming soon--

well, not as soon as I'd like.

I'm still saving up
for the prototype.

- Well, Joe...
your worries are over.

Venture capital is what I do.

I look for upstart companies
in all sectors--

biotech, fashion, whatever,

and I--well,
I try to identify the ones

that I think are being held
back by a lack of capital.

- Okay, cool.

I'm not much of a finance guy.

- Well, here's all you need
to know.

I want to give you an infusion
of cash--

whatever you need to take
Slamigan to the next level.

- You want to invest
in my company?

- No, I don't invest
in companies.

I invest in people.

And, Joe Cruz...

I'm gonna change your life.

- He says the Slamigan is
too good to be a side hustle.

He wants to grow it
into a major brand

that sells firehouse equipment

for all of North America
and beyond.

And he wants me to be the CEO.

- Well, I'm not surprised.
It's an amazing invention.

- Brett, you have always
believed in it.

That's why I wanted to tell you
first.

I mean, it's gonna be a lot
of work,

what a CEO does,

but I can learn.

- You totally could.

- And I got that baby boy
on the way.

I gotta provide for that kid.

the CFD?

- Oh, no, no way.

- Oh, you can do both jobs
at once?

We haven't really talked
about it,

but you know,
I'll know more tomorrow.

Newcomb and I are gonna
sit down,

and we're gonna hammer out
the details.

for you, Joe.

- Me, too.

- It's called
the Union League Club.

Do you know it?

It was founded in 1897,
very classy,

located in the South Loop.

- And the best part is,
they've got a patio with a bar,

outdoor fireplace...

It's a really great setup.

- That's your idea,

a fancy-pants private club.

- Well, we thought it seemed
like the perfect place

for a medal ceremony.

- For you, maybe,
if you ever earn a medal,

but this is Randall McHolland
we're talking about here.

any disrespect.

- No, not at all.

talking to Dawson?

- Okay, one of us needs
to go down to the stadium

and plead our case in person.

- Okay, but who?

charm their way in there...

- Okay, well, this might
actually require people skills.

covered if we all go,

from payroll to R&D

to do it.

- Um, yeah, yeah,
that sounds reasonable.

- And then, from that point on,

we'll base our funding on how
you meet the sales projections,

which is--chart's on page nine
there.

- Aggressive, I know.

But I have faith in you.

- What happens if I don't meet
these numbers?

to work shifts at 51?

See, I don't like to let
opportunities slip

through my grasp.

so let me clue you in
as to how things work.

See, you and me,

we have what is known
as an oral contract,

and those, my friend,
are legally binding.

I didn't agree to anything.

I want Slamigan,

and I mean to have it.

But hey, there's no reason
for this to get ugly.

I'm offering you the deal
of a lifetime,

so don't be a rube.

Take the money.
