Chicago Fire s02e19 Episode Script
A Heavy Weight
Took a couple of pills.
Had a flare-up in my back.
You need to get into rehab.
I will go to rehab.
We're gonna find a great place.
Maybe we should stop looking.
You and Casey? I got a lot of baggage, Donna.
The past is the past, Wallace.
I can't put you through that.
C.
F.
D.
's not right for everyone.
It's the one thing that I wanted my whole life, and he's taking it away from me.
You tell Dawson I stopped by.
Jones.
They just found her body.
We work a dangerous job.
We all knew that when we signed up.
A firefighter dies in the line of duty, we are shocked.
Our hearts are broken.
But in some dark corner of our mind, we are bracing ourself for that possibility.
But a firefighter takes her own life? That is not a contingency that we can prepare for.
We can't change what happened.
But we can learn from it.
We all missed the signs here.
And we can never let it happen again.
So you reach out to each other.
You be there for each other.
Not just for today, or this week always.
I never want to see another member of this family slip through the cracks.
Let's go to work.
Let's go for a ride.
This place isn't so bad.
How's it working out for him? I don't know.
I haven't checked up on him yet.
I've been too busy.
Boden's speech got me thinking Bloom could use some more encouragement right about now.
Severide Seriously? Cheer him up.
Come on, Mills.
No, I'll pass.
All right.
Room service! He was supposed to be in 109.
Well, I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but Mr.
Bloom checked himself out.
How long did he last? About 12 hours into a 28-day program.
I've seen worse.
- Thanks for coming, Shay.
- Yeah.
Listen, before you say anything, I know.
- I am moving a little fast.
- It's not that Things with Gabby and I haven't been perfect.
She's trying to make a big career shift, and she thinks I'm on the fence about it.
That's why I want to let her know this is real.
And, in light of recent events, why wait? Tomorrow isn't guaranteed for anybody.
Okay.
- You want to see 'em? - Yeah.
Oh, this one.
- That's Dawson right there.
- That was my pick.
Back me up.
That was my pick.
That was his pick.
It's really pretty.
- I'm gonna do it.
- I'll get one in her size.
What is it? Uh I'm on the case.
Hey, roomie.
Cable bill's due.
Make with the cheddar.
- $140? - Yeah.
That includes the setup fee.
Yeah.
And your NFL package.
Your half is $70.
I haven't seen Clarke this morning.
He still subbing over at 25? Clarke's not subbing out.
He transferred.
What, just like that? No explanation? No good-bye? What a jerk.
- That's her.
- Gabriela Dawson? Oh, God, what'd you do this time? Yeah? This note was left behind for you in Rebecca Jones' apartment.
Why? I wouldn't know.
Why would she leave me a note? Only one way to find out.
Engine 51, Truck 81, Squad 3, Ambulance 61.
Fire.
Grand and Ashland.
You okay? No.
No, I'm not.
I want some answers.
I mean, how does someone like Jones, who's so driven, so determined, how does she just give up on herself? I don't know.
What's it say? Nothing.
Oh, wow.
Otis, make sure the pumps are shut down! Everyone, get in there with extinguishers! Don't wait for 51! You gotta get my wife! She's in the car! We'll take care of her.
Get out of here! Shay! Got him, Herrmann.
Okay, okay.
Let's get you out of there! I can't! I can't! All right, all right.
Just stay put! Stay put! All right, listen! She can't get out of here! She's in a full leg brace! Let's get this fire out! Come on! Come with me! I got you, Janice! I got you! Sir, wait! Casey! - Hey! - Oh What are you doing! Stop! Hey, get under the pickup! It's okay.
We got you.
- You're okay.
- We've got you.
Get out of there, numbnuts! Herrmann! Sir, please step out of the vehicle, if you'd be so kind.
That was the dumbest move I've seen in a long time.
Yeah, Darwin-award thinkin' right there.
Ha! What a call.
Hey, what do you guys suppose Jones said in that note to Dawson? I'm just curious.
The other night Jones stopped by Molly's.
She was looking for Dawson.
Really? What for? No idea.
But she apparently went straight home and You know the rest.
Okay, you guys, pony up.
I talked to Bloom's old battalion chief in Denver, and I got an idea how to help him out.
First step, we fill up this boot.
$5.
Really? Okay, do you guys know the warehouse fire that derailed Bloom's career? Yeah, ten guys got killed.
Because of a tough call he had to make.
He was the incident commander? That's right.
Fire was in the structure.
He had to give an order no one else goes in.
He made those guys stand there and listen to their brothers dying over the radio.
They spit in his face, tried to go around him.
He wrestled a few of them to the ground, and that's how he hurt his back.
He was trying to protect them, but the way they saw it he abandoned all those guys inside and got 'em all killed.
That is a heavy weight for a man to carry around, don't you think? We can stop by the ATM.
Hey, I know why you're doing this, but this guy's gonna keep letting you down.
You know that, right? But you're gonna try anyway.
When Jones first arrived at 51, I made it clear that I wasn't someone that she could come to for help.
I thought she needed a little tough love.
- You can't put that on yourself, Kelly.
- I'm not.
I I didn't know where her head was at.
But if Bloom goes into a tailspin, I can't claim that I didn't see it coming.
Look, you guys, you got to agree that that's a pretty heavy weight for a man to carry around.
Look, personally, I would love to give to the cause, but I have to subsidize Cruz's need to see every single televised sporting event known to man.
Come on, man.
We agreed we were gonna split everything 50/50.
Can we just focus for, like, two sec You know, you could watch every single game at Molly's for free.
Oh, yeah.
And then all my beer money goes into your pocket.
You'd like that, I bet.
Yeah, as if you ever pay a tab anyway.
- What did you say? - Otis.
I need you to clear out Jones' locker.
Why me? Well, you're the one with the box.
Great.
What is the big deal? - Hey, Shay? - Hmm? I got a favor to ask.
No.
It has to do with Jones.
We need to clear out her locker, but in the interest of "gender sensitivity," would you mind? God forbid you guys have to touch a box of tampons.
I owe you so much.
You're going to hell.
You know that? - It's worth it.
- You guys just don't think that you owe Jones at least that much? What do you mean, we owe Jones? Nothing.
I'm gonna leave this here for a while.
You guys do what you think is right, okay? Thanks.
I just I wish she left behind some clue as to why she did it.
Oh, you mean, like a note? That note did not answer any questions.
Trust me.
Huh.
She was in the class of 300.
A lot older than she looked.
I wonder what this ring would look like on a person.
Whoa.
What are you doing? Stop! Okay, I'm just goofing around.
Gosh.
Honestly, what do you expect to find? I just want to know how a girl as tough as Jones could let her father push her to the breaking point.
So it's all her dad's fault? Don't go down that rabbit hole, Dawson trying to find a rational explanation for an irrational act.
I made that mistake once.
Remember? You know how it is, Chief.
Bunch of hard-ass firefighters avoiding real emotion at all costs.
How are you holding up? Not too bad.
It helps to have someone to lean on.
Yeah.
Have you reconnected with Donna? We are supposed to be talking about you.
Chaplain.
Uh Ha.
Sorry.
I can wait.
No, no, no.
It's fine.
We're all done here.
- Good to see you.
- Good to see you, sir.
Wallace, I'm real sorry about your candidate.
The commissioner sent me over to check up on your house.
I got it covered, Bill.
Or at least I'm trying.
Look, Chief, I can go if you want me to.
But your people have suffered a loss, and they may need help getting through this rough patch.
Peter Mills is one of my people now.
Did you know that? I did.
So don't botch it the way you did with his father.
Okay.
Hey, Chaplain Orlovsky's in the house! How ya doin', padre? Ah, real good, Christopher, thanks for asking.
Yeah.
How's everybody? - Good.
- Hey, Chaplain.
I need one of you guys to take this stuff over to Chief Jones' office after shift.
Can't be me.
I gotta get my mother-in-law over to the podiatrist.
Guys.
Guys.
I don't care who does it.
Just make sure it gets done.
Hey, Chaplain Orlovsky.
Peter, good to see you, buddy.
You too.
My recipe book.
Huh? Uh She needed a little help in that department.
Ah.
Oh.
- Whoa.
- Whoa.
Nice catch, padre.
She was a bowler.
Who, Jones? This is a 300 ring.
- She bowled a perfect game.
- Whoa! She was a serious bowler.
That is not how I would have guessed she spent her time.
Hey, here's an idea.
How about after shift, we all go out and bowl a couple of games, you know, in honor of Jones.
Yeah, maybe.
Man, you guys are cold.
Why, 'cause we're not in a bowling mood? No.
You should've been nicer to her.
Whoa.
Excuse me? I'm just saying that I know what it's like to be a candidate in this house, and that girl, she tried like hell.
You guys wouldn't let her sit with the cool kids.
Hey, Mills, you trying to pin this on us? No.
No, that's not what I'm saying.
Then what are you saying? Mills! Severide wants to take another field trip.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Go on back to your Squad buddies! Hey, Bloom, you in there? It's me, Kelly.
I'm coming in.
Bloom! What the hell? You just sit there and watch him give me the slip? What? I honked! Right here.
Hey, Chief, what's up? Come on in.
Close the door.
You okay to take your firefighter's test next week? Yeah.
Yeah.
My paperwork's in order.
No, I mean, are you are you okay? What with the Jones' thing and all? Well, I'm pissed off, Chief.
At who? I don't know.
Everything.
I'll be fine.
No, no, no.
Don't you bottle that up.
I'm right here.
You can talk to me anytime.
Okay.
Thanks.
Have you given any more thought to where it is that you might want to land when you pass your test? I'm more than willing to make some calls on your behalf.
Well, I don't mean to sound like a vulture circling overhead, but doesn't 81 need a new candidate? Jones' spot is not an option for you.
You must know that you have to find another company.
You can't serve under Casey.
You mean because we're involved.
Give it some more thought.
Hey.
How are you holding up? Why is everyone so worried about me? I'm sorry.
I mean, I'm good.
Thanks.
Listen.
I got us into RPM.
They're booked, like, two months out but I charmed our way in two weeks from Saturday.
So keep it free.
Cool.
We can raise a glass to Jones.
Absolutely.
Ambulance 61.
Sick person.
705 South Oakley.
In here.
She's in here! I don't know what happened to her.
My beautiful girl.
Look at her! What's the matter, honey? Show them, Ella.
Let them see.
She insisted on going to this sleepover last night.
I knew it was a bad idea, and now she's sick! - Dad.
- Sir, if you could just give us some space, please? She's running a fever.
- Meningitis? - Meningitis? Oh! Oh, that's perfect.
With these lesions? I don't know.
Sweetheart, does your head hurt, or your neck? Ella, you see, this is why I didn't want you to go.
- Sir - But you don't want to listen to me! No, of course not! Sir, if you could just let us examine your daughter She never wants to listen - not to me, not to her mother! - Hey! Your little girl needs exactly one thing from you right now, and that is your unwavering support.
You understand? Dawson.
Did any of the other girls at the sleepover have these symptoms? I I don't think so.
- When did this come on? - Just this morning.
I mean, she had strep throat last week, - but she got over that.
- Strep throat? Yeah, that's why I didn't want her to go.
I figured her immune system was - Was she on antibiotics? - Uh, yeah.
Amoxicillin.
You ever heard of Stevens-Johnson syndrome? - No.
- Let's get the fluids ready.
We need to load and go.
Your daughter's having a reaction to the amoxicillin.
She needs to get to the E.
R.
right now.
Oh, I'm sorry, sweetheart.
Daddy It's okay.
Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry.
So what else can you guys tell me about Rebecca? I never had the pleasure of meeting her.
She was tall.
Kind of funny sometimes.
Funny, like a Good sense of humor? So, Peter, you were teaching Rebecca how to cook? I was trying to.
So you two were friends? Yeah.
Yeah, we were.
They were bestest buddies.
Let it go, Herrmann.
He apologizes for what he said, I'll let it go.
You know, I see a lot of your dad in you.
He was a pretty caring guy too.
Did you know him well? Not as well as I wish I had.
Hey, what's the matter, Clarke, you lost? Don't be like that.
Hey, what's the matter, I had to transfer out.
- I had no choice.
- Why? You made Lieutenant.
I didn't even know you took the test.
You son of a gun! Congratulations! Why didn't you say anything? You're waiting for your promotion to come through.
I didn't want things to get awkward.
Things with you are always awkward.
I'm happy for you, buddy.
Come here.
Yeah, I don't like people touching me.
Yeah, see? Awkward.
Look who it is.
To what do we owe the honor? Just checkin' in on you guys.
This whole thing with Jones, you know It's unbelievable, right? Unbelievable.
I'm working with her oldest brother now, Brandon.
And this poor guy's beside himself.
That reminds me.
From the guys at 25.
Hey.
Awesome.
Thank you, Clarke.
I hope Jones' brothers don't let their dad off too easy.
Gabby.
No, I don't care if it's inappropriate.
I'm not gonna keep my mouth shut.
Please tell me someone's taking him to task for what he did to Jones.
Dawson, we were ready to go to bat for her.
But it was up to her to stand up to him He wore her down! Okay? All she wanted out of life was to be a firefighter, and she did it despite his constant discouragement and and interference.
But he still had to take that away from her.
Look, all Brandon said about it was that she had depression her whole life.
Really? Apparently, she tried this once before, when she was 16.
And knowing that, he still bullied her? He still berated her, pushed her to the brink? Dawson, we're talking about a Deputy District Chief.
Well, you'd better keep that man far away from me because if I see him, he's getting both barrels.
Donna.
Hey.
Wallace? Here's the thing.
I run into burning buildings for a living, but I run away from relationships.
And I guess I just I got scared, Donna.
And, uh you were the best thing to happen to me.
I can't get into this right now.
I have a meeting with the administration.
I can come back later after my shift.
I'll think about it.
- Hey - Shh! What are you doing? Hmm? Nothing.
You're in business.
Oh, so I should just paint a little white line down the middle of the fridge his side/my side? I didn't freak out when he drank all the orange juice.
It was a really, really nice piece of walleye, Cruz Just call it fish! And you left the dishes for me to clean up! Come on, man! Have you two ever considered that maybe you've been roommates for too long? Oh, we just moved in together.
You want to pick this back up later? You know, I don't need Judge Judy in my firehouse.
Wallace I need someone who can be there for my people offer them support, spiritual guidance, actually get them to open up.
I can't order your men to open up, Chief.
They have to find their own way.
You left Henry Mills to find his own way.
As I recall, he never quite found it.
Wallace, you've been holding that against me for a long time.
He was trying to repair a broken marriage, needed someone to lean on.
It couldn't be me obvious reasons which is why I asked you to talk to him.
And I had every intention of doing so If he hadn't walked into that fire carrying so much anger, he just might have walked back out again.
You know what I think? I think you lost a good man that day.
He was a friend.
And, uh I wonder if losing Rebecca Jones has brought back some of the guilt that you felt about Henry Mills' death.
Chaplain, if you can't help my people, get out of my firehouse.
Hey, Chief, you okay? Chief Jones? I brought Rebecca's things.
I just wanted to offer our deepest condolences, on behalf of everyone at 51.
And also to say she would have made a great firefighter.
I was trying to protect her.
I didn't think she could handle the stress of the job.
I was only trying to protect her.
Instead Ambulance 61, take in a traffic accident at I'm very sorry, Chief.
We got a driver pinned in the car, hurt but conscious.
What about the bus? Ah, kids on their way to the prom, banged up, but nothing too serious.
Casey, Severide we have a pin-in in the gray car.
- Get 'em out.
- Copy that.
Dawson, check on the victim.
Shay, assess these kids.
On it.
All right, whoever's injured, I want to take a look at you.
Hang in there, sir, we're going to get you out, okay? Casey? We're good.
All right, let's move this car.
Ready? Lift! Ready? Lift! Ready? Lift! - I don't know where Paige is.
- Huh? You guys, where's Paige? - Mouch, Otis, check the bus.
- Yep.
Sweetie, have a seat here.
- Where was she sitting? - I don't know.
We were all goofing around, and we hit something, and the bus started swerving, and that's when I hit my head.
There's nobody else in here.
- Why is this window open? - Oh, no.
Chief! I think somebody was ejected! Oh, my God.
The girl could have fallen out wherever the bus first lost control.
We are gonna shut down the road, run a search.
My guys have been up and down this road.
They didn't see anything.
We should have some firefighters take a look.
Look, be my guest, but I can't close this road.
You do realize you have a girl that is unaccounted for.
Yes, I do.
But my guess is that she got out with the others, - and she wandered off.
- You have an open emergency exit! Somebody was ejected! - Chief, let me talk to him.
- I'm shutting down this road! I can't let you do that.
Truck 81, block off this road.
Last warning, Chief.
Go ahead, Cruz.
Mouch, Herrmann, Otis, fan out, search back along the road.
This is my scene, Chief.
Are you really gonna make me arrest you? You know what? You're just gonna have to do what the hell you need to do.
Really? You gotta be kidding me.
You picked the wrong cop to piss off.
Oh, I haven't even started on you.
- You seeing this? - Yes, I am, Chief.
I got her! I got her! We need a backboard, a black bag.
Yeah, I'm on it.
Is she okay? She's in good hands.
Just hold tight.
Officer Woodall? Is this really the hill you want to die on? Watch her arm.
I got it.
Stay out of my way.
Come on.
Come on.
Paige! I'm okay.
Hey.
No harm, no foul.
After you.
I insist.
Hey, whatever's going on between you two, can you drop it? I'll drop it when he apologizes.
Apologize for what? For speaking the truth? Knock it off, both of you.
Yeah? He's saying that we made Jones suicidal, and I'm supposed to swallow that? No! No! Just own up to your behavior and admit that you could have handled things better! How dare you! - Herrmann! - Hey! I was the last one to see her alive! You think I didn't wonder over and over again what I might have done different, what else I might have said that would have changed her mind? Is this what you all took from what I said this morning? Is this really how we're gonna get through this thing? Severide? Bloom is inside.
Sorry, Chief.
Got one more save to make tonight.
Hey.
See where those guys are.
Well, I guess I'm gonna get a lecture about skipping out on rehab.
- Let's get it over with.
- No, Bloom.
I got no more lectures for you.
Yeah? Then give me my wallet.
Just relax.
Capp's getting it from my locker.
What are you all lookin' at? What, you need an audience? You ruined my white board.
That was permanent ink.
I'll get you another one.
What is this? I know, I'm not staying.
Severide asked me to pick up these two up at O'Hare.
- Chaplain.
- Lieutenant.
This is Damien, and this is Aaron.
Screw this.
Bloom, just give me one second.
You are a son of a bitch.
Hey, it's not like that, Captain.
Oh, Captain! Captain.
Aren't you cute? You can mail me my wallet.
We didn't know what happened to you, Bloom.
Now you do.
We're sorry.
That's what we came to tell you.
The way we treated you back in Denver Well, you gotta understand, we were upset.
Oh, you were upset? You were upset? I was the captain.
Those were my men in there! They were my men! We said a lot of awful things in the heat of the moment.
But we had a lot of time to think about it.
We were wrong.
You made the right call.
If you would have let us inside, we would've still been in there when the roof came down.
There's no question, you saved our lives.
Your boy could only afford two plane tickets.
Otherwise there would have been a dozen of us here.
We all feel the same way.
This is my daughter, Lily.
She wouldn't exist if you hadn't tackled me that day.
'Cause I was going in, Captain.
I was going in.
It's not easy losing a firefighter.
I've lost my fair share.
I can't imagine.
You came here today to help, and I gave you a hard time.
I get it, Chief.
You're just looking out for your house.
They are all that I got.
Talk to me.
I'm scared.
Of what? Everything.
The future.
I don't know what's going to happen, Matt.
Yeah, that's why they call it the future.
You and I are gonna face it together.
Donna.
Wallace, I owe you an explanation.
No, no, no.
I owe you an explanation.
Please, just listen.
You need to understand where my head's at.
When you pulled the plug on our relationship, I had to assume that I'd never see you again.
So, um I need you to imagine how tough it's been this past week, ever since I found out that I'm carrying your baby.
To Jones.
_
Had a flare-up in my back.
You need to get into rehab.
I will go to rehab.
We're gonna find a great place.
Maybe we should stop looking.
You and Casey? I got a lot of baggage, Donna.
The past is the past, Wallace.
I can't put you through that.
C.
F.
D.
's not right for everyone.
It's the one thing that I wanted my whole life, and he's taking it away from me.
You tell Dawson I stopped by.
Jones.
They just found her body.
We work a dangerous job.
We all knew that when we signed up.
A firefighter dies in the line of duty, we are shocked.
Our hearts are broken.
But in some dark corner of our mind, we are bracing ourself for that possibility.
But a firefighter takes her own life? That is not a contingency that we can prepare for.
We can't change what happened.
But we can learn from it.
We all missed the signs here.
And we can never let it happen again.
So you reach out to each other.
You be there for each other.
Not just for today, or this week always.
I never want to see another member of this family slip through the cracks.
Let's go to work.
Let's go for a ride.
This place isn't so bad.
How's it working out for him? I don't know.
I haven't checked up on him yet.
I've been too busy.
Boden's speech got me thinking Bloom could use some more encouragement right about now.
Severide Seriously? Cheer him up.
Come on, Mills.
No, I'll pass.
All right.
Room service! He was supposed to be in 109.
Well, I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but Mr.
Bloom checked himself out.
How long did he last? About 12 hours into a 28-day program.
I've seen worse.
- Thanks for coming, Shay.
- Yeah.
Listen, before you say anything, I know.
- I am moving a little fast.
- It's not that Things with Gabby and I haven't been perfect.
She's trying to make a big career shift, and she thinks I'm on the fence about it.
That's why I want to let her know this is real.
And, in light of recent events, why wait? Tomorrow isn't guaranteed for anybody.
Okay.
- You want to see 'em? - Yeah.
Oh, this one.
- That's Dawson right there.
- That was my pick.
Back me up.
That was my pick.
That was his pick.
It's really pretty.
- I'm gonna do it.
- I'll get one in her size.
What is it? Uh I'm on the case.
Hey, roomie.
Cable bill's due.
Make with the cheddar.
- $140? - Yeah.
That includes the setup fee.
Yeah.
And your NFL package.
Your half is $70.
I haven't seen Clarke this morning.
He still subbing over at 25? Clarke's not subbing out.
He transferred.
What, just like that? No explanation? No good-bye? What a jerk.
- That's her.
- Gabriela Dawson? Oh, God, what'd you do this time? Yeah? This note was left behind for you in Rebecca Jones' apartment.
Why? I wouldn't know.
Why would she leave me a note? Only one way to find out.
Engine 51, Truck 81, Squad 3, Ambulance 61.
Fire.
Grand and Ashland.
You okay? No.
No, I'm not.
I want some answers.
I mean, how does someone like Jones, who's so driven, so determined, how does she just give up on herself? I don't know.
What's it say? Nothing.
Oh, wow.
Otis, make sure the pumps are shut down! Everyone, get in there with extinguishers! Don't wait for 51! You gotta get my wife! She's in the car! We'll take care of her.
Get out of here! Shay! Got him, Herrmann.
Okay, okay.
Let's get you out of there! I can't! I can't! All right, all right.
Just stay put! Stay put! All right, listen! She can't get out of here! She's in a full leg brace! Let's get this fire out! Come on! Come with me! I got you, Janice! I got you! Sir, wait! Casey! - Hey! - Oh What are you doing! Stop! Hey, get under the pickup! It's okay.
We got you.
- You're okay.
- We've got you.
Get out of there, numbnuts! Herrmann! Sir, please step out of the vehicle, if you'd be so kind.
That was the dumbest move I've seen in a long time.
Yeah, Darwin-award thinkin' right there.
Ha! What a call.
Hey, what do you guys suppose Jones said in that note to Dawson? I'm just curious.
The other night Jones stopped by Molly's.
She was looking for Dawson.
Really? What for? No idea.
But she apparently went straight home and You know the rest.
Okay, you guys, pony up.
I talked to Bloom's old battalion chief in Denver, and I got an idea how to help him out.
First step, we fill up this boot.
$5.
Really? Okay, do you guys know the warehouse fire that derailed Bloom's career? Yeah, ten guys got killed.
Because of a tough call he had to make.
He was the incident commander? That's right.
Fire was in the structure.
He had to give an order no one else goes in.
He made those guys stand there and listen to their brothers dying over the radio.
They spit in his face, tried to go around him.
He wrestled a few of them to the ground, and that's how he hurt his back.
He was trying to protect them, but the way they saw it he abandoned all those guys inside and got 'em all killed.
That is a heavy weight for a man to carry around, don't you think? We can stop by the ATM.
Hey, I know why you're doing this, but this guy's gonna keep letting you down.
You know that, right? But you're gonna try anyway.
When Jones first arrived at 51, I made it clear that I wasn't someone that she could come to for help.
I thought she needed a little tough love.
- You can't put that on yourself, Kelly.
- I'm not.
I I didn't know where her head was at.
But if Bloom goes into a tailspin, I can't claim that I didn't see it coming.
Look, you guys, you got to agree that that's a pretty heavy weight for a man to carry around.
Look, personally, I would love to give to the cause, but I have to subsidize Cruz's need to see every single televised sporting event known to man.
Come on, man.
We agreed we were gonna split everything 50/50.
Can we just focus for, like, two sec You know, you could watch every single game at Molly's for free.
Oh, yeah.
And then all my beer money goes into your pocket.
You'd like that, I bet.
Yeah, as if you ever pay a tab anyway.
- What did you say? - Otis.
I need you to clear out Jones' locker.
Why me? Well, you're the one with the box.
Great.
What is the big deal? - Hey, Shay? - Hmm? I got a favor to ask.
No.
It has to do with Jones.
We need to clear out her locker, but in the interest of "gender sensitivity," would you mind? God forbid you guys have to touch a box of tampons.
I owe you so much.
You're going to hell.
You know that? - It's worth it.
- You guys just don't think that you owe Jones at least that much? What do you mean, we owe Jones? Nothing.
I'm gonna leave this here for a while.
You guys do what you think is right, okay? Thanks.
I just I wish she left behind some clue as to why she did it.
Oh, you mean, like a note? That note did not answer any questions.
Trust me.
Huh.
She was in the class of 300.
A lot older than she looked.
I wonder what this ring would look like on a person.
Whoa.
What are you doing? Stop! Okay, I'm just goofing around.
Gosh.
Honestly, what do you expect to find? I just want to know how a girl as tough as Jones could let her father push her to the breaking point.
So it's all her dad's fault? Don't go down that rabbit hole, Dawson trying to find a rational explanation for an irrational act.
I made that mistake once.
Remember? You know how it is, Chief.
Bunch of hard-ass firefighters avoiding real emotion at all costs.
How are you holding up? Not too bad.
It helps to have someone to lean on.
Yeah.
Have you reconnected with Donna? We are supposed to be talking about you.
Chaplain.
Uh Ha.
Sorry.
I can wait.
No, no, no.
It's fine.
We're all done here.
- Good to see you.
- Good to see you, sir.
Wallace, I'm real sorry about your candidate.
The commissioner sent me over to check up on your house.
I got it covered, Bill.
Or at least I'm trying.
Look, Chief, I can go if you want me to.
But your people have suffered a loss, and they may need help getting through this rough patch.
Peter Mills is one of my people now.
Did you know that? I did.
So don't botch it the way you did with his father.
Okay.
Hey, Chaplain Orlovsky's in the house! How ya doin', padre? Ah, real good, Christopher, thanks for asking.
Yeah.
How's everybody? - Good.
- Hey, Chaplain.
I need one of you guys to take this stuff over to Chief Jones' office after shift.
Can't be me.
I gotta get my mother-in-law over to the podiatrist.
Guys.
Guys.
I don't care who does it.
Just make sure it gets done.
Hey, Chaplain Orlovsky.
Peter, good to see you, buddy.
You too.
My recipe book.
Huh? Uh She needed a little help in that department.
Ah.
Oh.
- Whoa.
- Whoa.
Nice catch, padre.
She was a bowler.
Who, Jones? This is a 300 ring.
- She bowled a perfect game.
- Whoa! She was a serious bowler.
That is not how I would have guessed she spent her time.
Hey, here's an idea.
How about after shift, we all go out and bowl a couple of games, you know, in honor of Jones.
Yeah, maybe.
Man, you guys are cold.
Why, 'cause we're not in a bowling mood? No.
You should've been nicer to her.
Whoa.
Excuse me? I'm just saying that I know what it's like to be a candidate in this house, and that girl, she tried like hell.
You guys wouldn't let her sit with the cool kids.
Hey, Mills, you trying to pin this on us? No.
No, that's not what I'm saying.
Then what are you saying? Mills! Severide wants to take another field trip.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Go on back to your Squad buddies! Hey, Bloom, you in there? It's me, Kelly.
I'm coming in.
Bloom! What the hell? You just sit there and watch him give me the slip? What? I honked! Right here.
Hey, Chief, what's up? Come on in.
Close the door.
You okay to take your firefighter's test next week? Yeah.
Yeah.
My paperwork's in order.
No, I mean, are you are you okay? What with the Jones' thing and all? Well, I'm pissed off, Chief.
At who? I don't know.
Everything.
I'll be fine.
No, no, no.
Don't you bottle that up.
I'm right here.
You can talk to me anytime.
Okay.
Thanks.
Have you given any more thought to where it is that you might want to land when you pass your test? I'm more than willing to make some calls on your behalf.
Well, I don't mean to sound like a vulture circling overhead, but doesn't 81 need a new candidate? Jones' spot is not an option for you.
You must know that you have to find another company.
You can't serve under Casey.
You mean because we're involved.
Give it some more thought.
Hey.
How are you holding up? Why is everyone so worried about me? I'm sorry.
I mean, I'm good.
Thanks.
Listen.
I got us into RPM.
They're booked, like, two months out but I charmed our way in two weeks from Saturday.
So keep it free.
Cool.
We can raise a glass to Jones.
Absolutely.
Ambulance 61.
Sick person.
705 South Oakley.
In here.
She's in here! I don't know what happened to her.
My beautiful girl.
Look at her! What's the matter, honey? Show them, Ella.
Let them see.
She insisted on going to this sleepover last night.
I knew it was a bad idea, and now she's sick! - Dad.
- Sir, if you could just give us some space, please? She's running a fever.
- Meningitis? - Meningitis? Oh! Oh, that's perfect.
With these lesions? I don't know.
Sweetheart, does your head hurt, or your neck? Ella, you see, this is why I didn't want you to go.
- Sir - But you don't want to listen to me! No, of course not! Sir, if you could just let us examine your daughter She never wants to listen - not to me, not to her mother! - Hey! Your little girl needs exactly one thing from you right now, and that is your unwavering support.
You understand? Dawson.
Did any of the other girls at the sleepover have these symptoms? I I don't think so.
- When did this come on? - Just this morning.
I mean, she had strep throat last week, - but she got over that.
- Strep throat? Yeah, that's why I didn't want her to go.
I figured her immune system was - Was she on antibiotics? - Uh, yeah.
Amoxicillin.
You ever heard of Stevens-Johnson syndrome? - No.
- Let's get the fluids ready.
We need to load and go.
Your daughter's having a reaction to the amoxicillin.
She needs to get to the E.
R.
right now.
Oh, I'm sorry, sweetheart.
Daddy It's okay.
Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry.
So what else can you guys tell me about Rebecca? I never had the pleasure of meeting her.
She was tall.
Kind of funny sometimes.
Funny, like a Good sense of humor? So, Peter, you were teaching Rebecca how to cook? I was trying to.
So you two were friends? Yeah.
Yeah, we were.
They were bestest buddies.
Let it go, Herrmann.
He apologizes for what he said, I'll let it go.
You know, I see a lot of your dad in you.
He was a pretty caring guy too.
Did you know him well? Not as well as I wish I had.
Hey, what's the matter, Clarke, you lost? Don't be like that.
Hey, what's the matter, I had to transfer out.
- I had no choice.
- Why? You made Lieutenant.
I didn't even know you took the test.
You son of a gun! Congratulations! Why didn't you say anything? You're waiting for your promotion to come through.
I didn't want things to get awkward.
Things with you are always awkward.
I'm happy for you, buddy.
Come here.
Yeah, I don't like people touching me.
Yeah, see? Awkward.
Look who it is.
To what do we owe the honor? Just checkin' in on you guys.
This whole thing with Jones, you know It's unbelievable, right? Unbelievable.
I'm working with her oldest brother now, Brandon.
And this poor guy's beside himself.
That reminds me.
From the guys at 25.
Hey.
Awesome.
Thank you, Clarke.
I hope Jones' brothers don't let their dad off too easy.
Gabby.
No, I don't care if it's inappropriate.
I'm not gonna keep my mouth shut.
Please tell me someone's taking him to task for what he did to Jones.
Dawson, we were ready to go to bat for her.
But it was up to her to stand up to him He wore her down! Okay? All she wanted out of life was to be a firefighter, and she did it despite his constant discouragement and and interference.
But he still had to take that away from her.
Look, all Brandon said about it was that she had depression her whole life.
Really? Apparently, she tried this once before, when she was 16.
And knowing that, he still bullied her? He still berated her, pushed her to the brink? Dawson, we're talking about a Deputy District Chief.
Well, you'd better keep that man far away from me because if I see him, he's getting both barrels.
Donna.
Hey.
Wallace? Here's the thing.
I run into burning buildings for a living, but I run away from relationships.
And I guess I just I got scared, Donna.
And, uh you were the best thing to happen to me.
I can't get into this right now.
I have a meeting with the administration.
I can come back later after my shift.
I'll think about it.
- Hey - Shh! What are you doing? Hmm? Nothing.
You're in business.
Oh, so I should just paint a little white line down the middle of the fridge his side/my side? I didn't freak out when he drank all the orange juice.
It was a really, really nice piece of walleye, Cruz Just call it fish! And you left the dishes for me to clean up! Come on, man! Have you two ever considered that maybe you've been roommates for too long? Oh, we just moved in together.
You want to pick this back up later? You know, I don't need Judge Judy in my firehouse.
Wallace I need someone who can be there for my people offer them support, spiritual guidance, actually get them to open up.
I can't order your men to open up, Chief.
They have to find their own way.
You left Henry Mills to find his own way.
As I recall, he never quite found it.
Wallace, you've been holding that against me for a long time.
He was trying to repair a broken marriage, needed someone to lean on.
It couldn't be me obvious reasons which is why I asked you to talk to him.
And I had every intention of doing so If he hadn't walked into that fire carrying so much anger, he just might have walked back out again.
You know what I think? I think you lost a good man that day.
He was a friend.
And, uh I wonder if losing Rebecca Jones has brought back some of the guilt that you felt about Henry Mills' death.
Chaplain, if you can't help my people, get out of my firehouse.
Hey, Chief, you okay? Chief Jones? I brought Rebecca's things.
I just wanted to offer our deepest condolences, on behalf of everyone at 51.
And also to say she would have made a great firefighter.
I was trying to protect her.
I didn't think she could handle the stress of the job.
I was only trying to protect her.
Instead Ambulance 61, take in a traffic accident at I'm very sorry, Chief.
We got a driver pinned in the car, hurt but conscious.
What about the bus? Ah, kids on their way to the prom, banged up, but nothing too serious.
Casey, Severide we have a pin-in in the gray car.
- Get 'em out.
- Copy that.
Dawson, check on the victim.
Shay, assess these kids.
On it.
All right, whoever's injured, I want to take a look at you.
Hang in there, sir, we're going to get you out, okay? Casey? We're good.
All right, let's move this car.
Ready? Lift! Ready? Lift! Ready? Lift! - I don't know where Paige is.
- Huh? You guys, where's Paige? - Mouch, Otis, check the bus.
- Yep.
Sweetie, have a seat here.
- Where was she sitting? - I don't know.
We were all goofing around, and we hit something, and the bus started swerving, and that's when I hit my head.
There's nobody else in here.
- Why is this window open? - Oh, no.
Chief! I think somebody was ejected! Oh, my God.
The girl could have fallen out wherever the bus first lost control.
We are gonna shut down the road, run a search.
My guys have been up and down this road.
They didn't see anything.
We should have some firefighters take a look.
Look, be my guest, but I can't close this road.
You do realize you have a girl that is unaccounted for.
Yes, I do.
But my guess is that she got out with the others, - and she wandered off.
- You have an open emergency exit! Somebody was ejected! - Chief, let me talk to him.
- I'm shutting down this road! I can't let you do that.
Truck 81, block off this road.
Last warning, Chief.
Go ahead, Cruz.
Mouch, Herrmann, Otis, fan out, search back along the road.
This is my scene, Chief.
Are you really gonna make me arrest you? You know what? You're just gonna have to do what the hell you need to do.
Really? You gotta be kidding me.
You picked the wrong cop to piss off.
Oh, I haven't even started on you.
- You seeing this? - Yes, I am, Chief.
I got her! I got her! We need a backboard, a black bag.
Yeah, I'm on it.
Is she okay? She's in good hands.
Just hold tight.
Officer Woodall? Is this really the hill you want to die on? Watch her arm.
I got it.
Stay out of my way.
Come on.
Come on.
Paige! I'm okay.
Hey.
No harm, no foul.
After you.
I insist.
Hey, whatever's going on between you two, can you drop it? I'll drop it when he apologizes.
Apologize for what? For speaking the truth? Knock it off, both of you.
Yeah? He's saying that we made Jones suicidal, and I'm supposed to swallow that? No! No! Just own up to your behavior and admit that you could have handled things better! How dare you! - Herrmann! - Hey! I was the last one to see her alive! You think I didn't wonder over and over again what I might have done different, what else I might have said that would have changed her mind? Is this what you all took from what I said this morning? Is this really how we're gonna get through this thing? Severide? Bloom is inside.
Sorry, Chief.
Got one more save to make tonight.
Hey.
See where those guys are.
Well, I guess I'm gonna get a lecture about skipping out on rehab.
- Let's get it over with.
- No, Bloom.
I got no more lectures for you.
Yeah? Then give me my wallet.
Just relax.
Capp's getting it from my locker.
What are you all lookin' at? What, you need an audience? You ruined my white board.
That was permanent ink.
I'll get you another one.
What is this? I know, I'm not staying.
Severide asked me to pick up these two up at O'Hare.
- Chaplain.
- Lieutenant.
This is Damien, and this is Aaron.
Screw this.
Bloom, just give me one second.
You are a son of a bitch.
Hey, it's not like that, Captain.
Oh, Captain! Captain.
Aren't you cute? You can mail me my wallet.
We didn't know what happened to you, Bloom.
Now you do.
We're sorry.
That's what we came to tell you.
The way we treated you back in Denver Well, you gotta understand, we were upset.
Oh, you were upset? You were upset? I was the captain.
Those were my men in there! They were my men! We said a lot of awful things in the heat of the moment.
But we had a lot of time to think about it.
We were wrong.
You made the right call.
If you would have let us inside, we would've still been in there when the roof came down.
There's no question, you saved our lives.
Your boy could only afford two plane tickets.
Otherwise there would have been a dozen of us here.
We all feel the same way.
This is my daughter, Lily.
She wouldn't exist if you hadn't tackled me that day.
'Cause I was going in, Captain.
I was going in.
It's not easy losing a firefighter.
I've lost my fair share.
I can't imagine.
You came here today to help, and I gave you a hard time.
I get it, Chief.
You're just looking out for your house.
They are all that I got.
Talk to me.
I'm scared.
Of what? Everything.
The future.
I don't know what's going to happen, Matt.
Yeah, that's why they call it the future.
You and I are gonna face it together.
Donna.
Wallace, I owe you an explanation.
No, no, no.
I owe you an explanation.
Please, just listen.
You need to understand where my head's at.
When you pulled the plug on our relationship, I had to assume that I'd never see you again.
So, um I need you to imagine how tough it's been this past week, ever since I found out that I'm carrying your baby.
To Jones.
