.

The perfect guy
is out there somewhere.

Let's go hunt him down.

I just don't feel
ready for all this.

(on voicemail)
hey, my name's emmett bird.

I think you may be my dad.

This is a catastrophe.

You might have had a son
that loved you, randal,

But you'll never know.

He'll be better off.

I got the tests, to see
if i prequalify for squad.



So what, you're gonna what?
Just quit the ambo

And drop me as a partner?

If i'm approved,
honestly, yeah.

[def leppard's
pour some sugar on me playing]

[indistinct chatter]

♪ ♪

You want a table
or sit at the stage?

Oh, i-i'm sorry,
i'm here to see jack.

Jack nesbit.

Cool.
Give me a sec.

So, this used to be
a dead space

Before the last
renovation.

I was thinking to myself,



I got all this
just sitting here.

- Expansion?
- Exactly.

I don't want to turn anyone
away looking for a drink

And a good time,
but our safety regulations

And fire codes
and...

I know all about it.

I'm a firefighter.

What house?

5 1 .

I was 114.

You're kidding.

- On wabash?
- Seven years.

That's great.

Yeah, time of my life.

Seriously.
Until this.

Well...

So, anyway, uh,
i'm looking for a bid.

I want this room
to look like out there.

Only better.

How much you
looking to spend?

Tell me what you
think it will take.

You want something
to drink, boss?

I can't.
Second watch tomorrow.

Good man.
Uh, scotch and soda, trish.

Hold the lemon.
Thanks.

(rice)
hey, kelly.

Scott.

I'm ready.

What?

Look, you said to tell
you when i'm ready, so, uh...

I'm ready.

Gabby, let's go.

I haven't worn this
in almost a year.

This is my favorite
little black dress.

Hot.

I mean, i love the turnout
gear but it feels like

It's all i'm ever
changing into these days.

Well, there is no way
to feel attractive

In ems trousers.

You know what we need?
A night on the town.

- A night on the town. Yes.
- Yeah.

And i-i-i'm not gonna
steal you from cruz,

- So he can come too.
- Yeah? You sure?

Wingman and a wingwoman?

This is gonna be
awesome.

- Hey, can i help you?
- Looking for randall mcholland.

(hermann)
yeah, um, mouch.

That's me, emmett.

I'm randall.

I'm, uh, your father.

No, man, you're
not my father.

I apologize, uh--

Birth father,
i guess i should s--

No, you're not
that either.

Uh, my half-sister
is your birth kid.

I'm a little protective
so i wanted to reach out,

Meet you first, suss you out.

Man, i'm glad i did.

So it wasn't her left
sitting in that diner

Like some sucker.

Uh, yeah, i'm real
sorry about that.

Don't bother
with excuses.

I just--i came here
to say that

'cause you're too chicken
to show, you'll never get

A chance to meet the
sweetest, coolest girl.

Morning, chief.

Morning.

You sound too damn perky.

Like a man who doesn't
have a baby at home.

[chuckles]

I have some great news.

Rice is ready to
get back to work.

Scott rice?

Yeah, we got a spot
to fill on squad, so...

Who says he's ready?

He does.

Look, if he says he's ready
then i believe him.

Okay.

I'll think on it.

Known him since before cfd.

Back to high school.

He's as standup
as they come.

I said i would
think on that.

[alarm blares]
(woman) squad 3, truck 81.

- Let's go.
- M.O. 61, battalion 25.

Vehicle accident.

[sirens blaring]

Hey.

- What do we got?
- He's up there.

Uh, level three.

He says his accelerator
got stuck.

Ran right into the
shoring holding

A fresh slot of concrete.

Okay, you heard the man.

He is three floors up.

We need to assess
the situation.

Walk in with whatever
tools we need.

- 61, bring a stretcher.
- Got it, chief.

(casey)
uh, dawson, with me.

We gotta work fast.

We don't know how long
that van will hold up.

Watch for loose debris.

Hey, stop.
Easy, guys, we got it from here.

Stop!

Hey!

Hey, hey.

Those tires
haven't blown yet.

All right.

- Hey, buddy.
- [groaning]

Can you move your legs?

Yeah.

All right, put a
c-collar on him.

Copy that.

Check the other vehicles.

All clear.

Capp, we need
extrication tools

Up on p3.

Saw, spreaders--

[screaming]

Fall back now!

[screams]

That shoring's gonna
fail any second.

Hey, guys, hold it.

All this is unstable.

Chief, we need to
reinforce that slab.

We should improvise
a truss.

Let's get all the cribbing
and truss we can get.

Bring up all the cribbing.
Everything we got.

- Got it.
- Right away.

Okay.

Hey, they're gonna need every
pair of hands they can get.

Think we got enough?

I hope so.

(man)
hang in there, buddy.

[metal creaking]

[screaming]

Chief, i'm telling you there's
not enough time for this.

Let me pull him out
through the back.

Okay, hurry up.

- If i say "bail," you bail.
- Okay.

Severide.
Backboard.

- I can give you a hand.
- No, no! Hey, stay back.

Stay back.

Capp, i need you!

Here you go, buddy.

Severide, bail out!

[groaning]

Ready?
1-2-3.

Here, buckle him in.

We got him, chief.

- Tony, hermann, get in here.
- Coming in.

Capp, you go first.

[metal creaking]

Ow!

Chief!

- You okay?
- Good.

Yeah, he's an old friend.

I'm trying to get him
on your squad.

(hermann)
oh, rice over at 31.
Used to be there?

Yeah, he's a great guy.

(cruz)
that man could tell a story.

What i remember, rice
was the kind of guy

That always had to be
the center of attention.

Ahh, come on. You'd love
working with him.

Scott rice.

Isn't he the one that got
in a fight during a call

And threw some guy out
a third story window?

- Yes!
- Can the gossip.

Severide wouldn't bring him
in here if he was a problem.

Who--who are we talking about?

Severide's buddy,
scott rice.

He might be taking
newhouse's old spot on squad.

Newhouse's?

You mean my old spot?

Mm-hmm.
Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Simon's got
the ball rolling.

Rice is gonna join us
for a shift. Trial run.

Yeah, that's great.

No, and, chief,
don't worry.

Rice is gonna bust
his hump for us.

Okay.

- Hey, chief, you got a sec?
- Yeah.

I heard we got
an open spot on squad.

Just want to let you
know i haven't had any

Signs of vertigo
for a while.

I can get another medical eval
to see if i get clear for duty.

- You seen the doctor?
- It's on the books.

End of the week.

That's good to hear.

Yeah, so, you know,

Don't make any final
decisions about anything.

You just tell me
what the doctor says.

All right. Will do.

- End of the week.
- Yep.

Joe,

What do you think about
a night out on the town

With two hot ladies
as your escorts?

H u h .

Wait, is this a test?

'cause i'm a one-woman
man, baby.

No, no. I'm serious.

Me and dawson are talking
about a fun night out tomorrow.

Hit some of the hot spots.

Do some dancing.

What do you say?

To be honest,

I would much rather hang out
at molly's for a beer,

And then head home, and watch
the blackhawks game with you.

Real l y ?

Hey, but you guys should go,
if you want.

Okay, great.

I will.

I messed everything up.

Don't give yourself
such a hard time, mouch.

You did a great thing
way back when.

You gave someone a child
who really wanted one.

Bottom line is,
your obligation ended there.

Did it?
'cause this is crazy.

I can't suddenly
become a parent.

I'm--i'm a middle-aged man.

Well, you're different.

You have a wife,
and you're mature.

I was scared too.
Still am.

Every single day.

The fear doesn't go away?

Look, there's no logic
to parenthood. None.

Look at this.

Intellectually,
i know and understand

That a two-hour-old baby
is not an attractive thing.

Looks like a little old man,
but to me, he's my son,

And...

Damn it, mouch,
i haven't slept in weeks.

It's not like you're gonna be
staying up all night

And changing diapers.

This is an adult we're talking
about here, all right.

For all we know,
she already has a dad.

Maybe she just wanted to meet
somebody with her own dna.

Shake your hand.

(boden)
yeah, maybe.

I want to give
this thing a shot.

Atta boy.

There he is.
What's up, stranger?

What's up, man?

- How you doing?
- Welcome. Good to see you.

There he is. There he is.

Rice, how's it going?

Hey, man, how you been?
How you doing?

- Oh, oh, oh.
- Hey.

You know, i still got a scar
from lee henry

When he walloped me with
a stick, last picnic.

Right? That kid
in juvie yet?

Nah, he'd bust out
too quick.

I'm thinking more
like san quentin.

Hey, nothing wrong with an
ex-con in the family, right?

- Yeah.
- Wait, wait.

You guys know about
my aunt francine.

The one who held up the liquor
store when she was 65?

Come on, man.
Get out of here.

I've heard that story
three times, at least.

- Oh, no.
- I tell you.

(rice)
aunt francine,
she gets it in her head

That she needs a little
convertible mustang,

For her later years.

I kid you not.
She gets up one morning.

She pulls the pantyhose
over her head and--

[laughter]
and, uh--

You know, i'm gonna finish
this later, guys.

It involves a car full of
siamese cats and a drunken nun.

I swear to god.
You're gonna love it.

Friendly guy.

(rice)
chief boden.

Rice.

Welcome.

Thanks.

Look, i appreciate you taking
a flier on me, like this.

I imagine you think
twice when you

Hear a guy's got a conduct
unbecoming on his file.

Plus with all the rumors
that are flying.

I don't listen to rumors,
but i do listen to my men,

And severide pushed
very hard for you.

I'm real grateful
to him for that.

Can't wait to
prove him right.

- Good.
- Thank you, sir.

There's a ton of clubs
in that neighborhood.

What are you--you ladies
looking for some hot spots?

- Mm-hmm.
- Because i'm your resource.

Oh, really?

- Yeah.
- Well, go ahead.

- What have you got?
- Okay, let's see.

How about the den?

Closed in december of 2008.

Really?
Uh, okay.

How about, oh, underworld.

That place gets wild,
you know,

So you got to dress nice if you
want to get past the bouncer.

Closed in '09.

Oh, but it sounds
like you had a good year

Of clubbing.
Congrats, man.

I don't see you coming up
with any suggestions.

Hey, my clubbing days
are over.

I am happy at home with my girl
with a nice cold beer

And a good game on tv.

Hey, you know who's working
over at chicago med?

Who?

April sexton.

April sexton?
Are you kidding me?

Man, i've been trying
to track her down for years.

Who is she?

The girl no one could get
a date with in high school.

Smart, serious student.

But somehow,
she and this guy were tight.

Severide, sexton.

We ended up sitting next to
each other in all our classes.

So you guys were...

No, just--
[chuckles]

Just good friends.

- Uh-huh.
- Chicago med?

Yep.
In the er.

He called me
a couple times,

But problem is, it came up
as caller id blocked,

So i can't just hit return.

I'm sure you
can understand.

We need to be vigilant
about privacy here.

I can't give you
that information.

You weren't so vigilant
about my privacy.

As i explained,
the young man

Got your number
as the result of

An unfortunate
security breach.

We very much regret it.

Here's the thing.

I wasn't as receptive
as i should have been,

When this kid, emmett,
first reached out.

And the truth is,
closest thing i've ever

Had to children
is pouch,

And i forget to walk her
about 60% of the time.

So of course, i'm thinking,

"what kind of father
would i be?"

- Pouch is...?
- Our dog.

And she's a real
beauty, too.

She's got these--

You're not gonna give
me the number, are you?

I'm very sorry,
mr. Mcholland.

Maybe he'll call again.

So i look up,

And now i got
three options.

I can a,
hand this guy $100.

B, turn the bucket over
and reveal that i do not,

Indeed have a two-headed
monkey under there.

Or c, i can run the hell
out of there as fast as i can.

Oh, my god, what did you do?

D, none of
the above.

But this is where things
get really, really interesting.

Just as i'm about to turn
tail and vamoose,

Right then...

[snaps fingers]
two other guys walk in the room.

[cell phone beeps]

(rice)
first guy, i mean, he's got
fists on him like watermelons.

- Second guy's got this scowl...
- Hello?

Oh, hey, um, yeah.

Do you have a second?

[laughter]

No, not even, hang on.
They guy in the cowboy hat,

He looks right at me.
You know what he says?

Up, up, up.

Casey.

So...Talked to weathersby
over at 59.

He confirms it.

Confirms what?

The...The rice thing.

Throwing the guy
out the window?

Weathersby was there?

Well, no, but his cousin
worked at 31 same time as rice.

So weathersby's cousin saw
rice throw a guy out a window?

Well, not directly.

He was searching the basement,
but there are witnesses.

The guy ended up
in a wheelchair.

Let severide worry
about rice, huh?

- [whistles]
- fine.

But if he cracks and he punches
somebody, don't blame me.

Why would i blame you?

- Hey.
- Hey.

Scott rice.

Filling in on squad.

Yeah. Peter mills.
I'm--

Paramedic.

Columbo's got nothing on me.

You and severide
go way back, huh?

Yeah.
Way, way back.

[alarm blares]

[emergency call over intercom]

Look at us, peter.

Working together already.

[siren blaring]

(woman)
are you the only ones they sent?

(mills)
rescue squad's right behind us.

- Where's the victim?
- This way.

He's one of our stagehands.

Got hit in the head
with a light.

- One of these folks?
- Oh, no, no, no.

Him.
Up there.

Help me, i'm slipping!

Hey!
Hey, don't move!

Hurry, man!
I can't hold on!

Squad, what's your eta?

(otis over radio)
just turning onto grand now.

I got this.

Mills, they'll be here
in a minute.

Yeah.
Well, a minute's too long.

He's got a head injury.
He could blackout and fall.

Is that really a good idea?

I'm fine, brett.

(stagehand)
hurry, man!

Mills?

(woman)
what's he waiting for?

He's--he's just
being cautious.

A person can get
dizzy up there.

I'm good.

- Help!
- Hey, buddy.

Hang on.
I'm coming, okay?

Faster, it hurts!

I know.
I'm coming.

[grunting]

I got him!

Hey, you're all right.
You're okay.

Hey, where is he?

Up there.

Mills?

What the hell's he doing?

Rice, come on.

Mills, hey.

We got it from here.

All right.
We got you, buddy.

All right, so don't look down.

(severide)
all right.

So, no dizziness?
No signs of vertigo?

Nothing, at all.
I looked straight down.

It didn't even faze me.

Hey.

- Hey.
- Just had a phone call

From a jack nesbit.

Looking for references
for you.

Yeah.
You know him?

Know of him.

Just wanted to let you know, i
told him that you were no good.

Perfect.
Didn't want the job anyway.

Middle-of-winter jobs
in chicago are easy to get.

You're okay.
I told him you're

An honest man, and you're
a great lieutenant.

- Thank you, chief.
- What i really want to know is,

Why are you dancing
at a strip club?

I will be working adjacent
to a strip club.

They're renovating,
it's a construction gig--

Never mind.

Carry on.

(april)
and the guy in bed three

Is pretending
he doesn't speak english.

Don't buy it.
Right.

Radiology still hasn't
called me back.

I'm gonna walk down there,

So they have to ignore
me face-to-face.

I'll be right back.

April.

Oh.

Wow, kelly.

[laughing]

How are you doing?
You look good.

Good, good.

I heard you were
a firefighter.

Yeah, i'm over on 51.

Scott rice is there too.

Look, a bunch of us are getting
together at molly's pub,

In bucktown after the shift.
You should come by.

No, i don't think so.

What are you talking--
it'll be fun.

Why not?

Because you suck.

Hey, what was that?

Hey.
Hey, april?

Kelly,

It actually takes
being a good friend

To earn my forgiveness.

I got to get back to work.

April...

One drink.

I'm sorry.

I should have told you
at the start.

Honey, i love you
fierce like a lion,

But honesty is extremely
important to me, when warranted.

It won't happen again.

I promise.

Okay.

I don't know what to do.

I can't track down
emmett's number.

Clinic won't help.

Oh, god.
That's too bad.

If only you knew
someone very attractive

In law enforcement
who could track down

His contact
information for you.

Ah!

Trudy, you are, by far,
the best, most amazing--

Okay. Stop it.
Stop it.

Why'd you stop?

[dance music]

Thank you.

Hey, gabby.

Aren't you gonna
come dance?

Yeah, i'm just looking
for my friend.

I feel like i'm
neglecting her.

She's not really
into the club thing

And has a boyfriend
at home.

Who?

That girl
you came in with?

Her?

♪ ♪

[laughs]

[laughs]

[low-key music]

♪ ♪

Who you waiting for?

Rice?

No. Rice doesn't go out
much, these days.

Hey, did he really
throw a guy

Out the third-storey
window?

The window was
on the first floor.

Oh.
[scoffs]

It was some meth-head
who just went off on him.

It was mostly
self-defense.

Guy walked away
with a few stitches.

So he wasn't
in a wheelchair?

He was, right until the judge
threw out his lawsuit.

And then he could
walk just fine.

[laughs]

Hey, lieutenant.

You got a sec?

Yeah.

Um...

What's up, bud?

You saw me on the
catwalk, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.
My vertigo is gone.

I can climb as high
as i want.

No problem.

That's great, but...

Listen, you got to stop
overstepping your bounds,

Out there, mills.
You're gonna get hurt.

No, that's what i'm
trying to tell you.

That...That's just
a temporary problem.

I'm re-trying out
for squad physical.

Good, good.

So you got to save
that spot for me.

Mills, i can't
do that, man.

Yeah, of course
you can't.

Look, i...

I mean, i know that
rice is your buddy,

But i earned that spot
with hard work.

And an injury shouldn't
knock me out for good.

Not if i get
the all-clear.

Rice has the job.

And he needs it.
Trust me.

I need it too.

Thank you.

I'd like another chance.

Forget it.

I shouldn't have left
you hanging, emmett.

I screwed up.

Yeah, i know that part.
Anything else?

The thing is...

I was terrified.

I mean, a week ago,
i had no idea i had a kid.

You understand?

I mean, anyone who isn't
freaked out in that situation

Has a screw loose.

Oh, yeah? Well, you should
have pushed through it.

You're right.
100%.

And that's what
i'm doing now.

I-i'm pushing through.

I just want...

I just want another chance
to get to know my daughter.

Look, emmett.

I can't tell you if
i'll be the best father,

'cause i've never
been one before,

But i can tell you how
i am with the family

I have at firehouse 51.

I'd lay my life on
the line for them.

Lizzie may be
my kid sister,

But she's saved my ass
more times than i can count.

So, i mean,
she's the best.

Don't screw this up.

Thank you.

Still dehydrated.

Ooh. It's gonna be
a long 24 hours.

Hey, how'd it go, huh?

Did you guys go to the place

With the vodka frozen
in the blocks of ice?

Oh, yeah.

And we were
the only ones there,

Besides a table full
of five old russian men.

Huh, no wonder
baba loves it.

We went to a bunch
of different places

And ended up at
bubble lounge.

Oh, i heard that
place is awesome.

That place is crazy fun,
i gotta say.

Bubble lounge?

No, that place is way
too loud and crowded.

You couldn't pay me.

Cruz, when did you
turn 100 years old?

[laughs]

Huh?

[chuckles]

Mills, hey.

Hey, i don't want any
bad blood between us.

Yeah, neither do i,
lieutenant.

Didn't mean to overstep.

I'm gonna do whatever it
takes to get my spot back.

Yeah, i respect that.

And fact is,
boden makes the final call,

So let's just...

Play it by ear, right?

Sounds good.

You get tested?

End of the week.

Hey, squad's gonna
make a run.

- Quick errand.
- Okay.

You still suck.

I'm not a good
friend, really?

- What the hell is that?
- Eminem tickets.

I took you to that concert
for your 17th birthday.

You remember?
And i hated eminem.

You did not.

You were just
intimidated by his talent.

Please.

Then why did you steal
my slim shady cd?

So you would
quit playing it.

I cannot believe
you kept these.

Yeah.

My parents still
ask about you.

[beeper chimes]

Damn, i got to get
down to radiology.

But, hey, let me take you
out for a drink sometime.

There's more i want
to talk to you about.

About what?

I never--

I never really got
to thank your parents.

Never got to thank you.

Okay.

Well, you just did.

Accepted.

It's good to see you,
kelly.

Okay.
Yeah, great.

I'll be there.
Oh, hey, thanks again.

Is that the
doctor's office?

Yeah.

Severide sounded pretty
supportive this morning.

He might be
shining me on.

- You think so?
- It's fine.

I got my appointment
pushed up to tomorrow.

I'm gonna get
my medical clearance,

And then i will cram it
down their throats.

That's the spirit.

[alarm blaring]

(operator)
ambulance 61.

Person in distress.

[siren blaring]

You got to help him!

My joey,
he swallowed a quarter!

Not a quarter, mom.
My key.

I told you to stay
with your brother.

Get back inside.

- Where's joey?
- He's inside.

This way.

- Come on.
- How old is joey?

He's 31.

[choking]

Oh.
Oh, lord.

What's wrong
with daddy?

Upstairs.
Go on, kids.

- All of you.
- What are they doing to daddy?

I see it.

It's past the vocal chords.

- Deep in the airway.
- All right.

Try and grab it with forceps.

Okay.
Hang on.

Okay. Hurry up.
He's not breathing.

- It keeps moving further in.
- All right.

If you can't get it out, you're
gonna need to grab an et tube

And push it in all the way.

- All the way?
- Yeah.

It'll go into the
right or left bronchi,

But at least he'll be able
to breathe with one lung,

Until we transfer
him for surgery.

Okay, let me try
it one more time.

Got it.

[wheezing]

Come on up, buddy.

[breathing]

[kids shouting and laughing]

I was trying to show the kids
a magic trick.

Joey, don't talk.
Just rest.

Oh, hey. That's not contagious,
is it, hon?

'cause my kids'll catch anything
just from looking at it.

Oh...No.

It's just a hand stamp.

My girlfriend and i went out
dancing the other night.

Oh, dancing.

Can't remember the last
time i went dancing.

(girl)
mommy, i want to
show you something.

(mother)
all right, okay.
Okay.

Brett, you ready?
Let's go.

(girl)
mommy, come look.

Thank you for hanging out
with me the other night.

I had so much fun.

I had a great
time too.

Dancing and
meeting people.

It's actually--
it's exactly what i need.

Hey.

What's wrong?
You okay?

I love that black dress
of yours.

I mean, i always
say to myself

That i'm gonna buy
a sexy little black dress.

Then i get to the store and

I end up getting
the same thing i always do.

You know, something nice,
not too daring.

Something comfortable.

Well, you can--
you can always borrow it.

The point is, i need
to stop falling back

On comfortable and nice.

You know?

Why?

I mean, if you really
like something,

What's wrong with that?

I came to chicago to start
a whole new life for myself.

But somehow, i've ended up
back on the couch

Watching movies
with my boyfriend.

I adore cruz.

I mean, i'm so lucky
to have him in my life,

And i know that.

But it's...

It's not the life i want.

I did the dix-hallpike test
a couple times at home.

No problem.

I'm telling you, doc.
No vertigo.

Well, we're gonna
find out, for sure.

We'll start here, and then
we'll go upstairs for an emg.

- Emg?
- We use electrodes to assess

Your ocular and
vestibular systems.

After that,
we'll do an mri.

When the results
come back,

I'll consult with
the board--

Wait, wait.
Dr. Bachman,

I thought i was gonna get
an answer today.

I mean, when you
took me out of action,

You made the call
like that.

Unfortunately,
clearing you for duty

Is a bit more
of a process.

You may feel fine, but if
there's any trace of vertigo,

We can't let you work squad.

Okay.

Either way, you'd know
in about a week.

A week.

Okay, let's get started.

Come on back.

Turn your head.

Here we go.

[rock music]

- Matt, hey.
- Hey.

- Come on over.
- Thanks.

So, uh...
Here's my bid.

There's probably
some wiggle room

In some of the
material costs,

If i can get my
supplier to play ball.

You got the job.

You don't want
to take a look?

I like you, matt.
I trust you.

Now what are
you drinking?

Uh...

Come on.

You're drinking.
We're celebrating.

Well...Thank you.

Don't make me ask you
what you're having again.

Scotch on the rocks.

Kiki, two scotch
on ices, please.

No lemon?

That's my girl.

♪ ♪

Cheers.

♪ i'm knocking on
the devil's door ♪

♪ yeah ♪

It means a whole lot,
you coming here with me.

Terror is a little
less paralyzing.

Hey, i'm excited about
this too, you know.

If this works out,

I'll have a girl i can share
my hair and makeup tips with.

You're going to
the bathroom now?

- What if she walks in?
- No, honey.

I'm not going to the bathroom.
I'm leaving.

I got you here,
but you got to do this alone.

I don't know if i can.

I'm getting a little
tight, right here.

Okay, randall...

It is time to be the man
i know you can be.

Lizzie?

Hi.

So pretty.

[chuckles]

Have a seat.

Don't even say it, chief.

I already got
a cold glass in my hand.

(boden)
thank you, brian.

Say, chief, can i ask you
something 51-related?

Or would you
rather chillax?

'cause i can totally
respect that.

No, go on.
Hit me with it.

It's rice.

Now, i'm the last guy
to stand in the way

Of severide and his buddy.

But the things i hear
about this guy.

Why, what'd you hear?

He threw a man through
a window, chief.

Now, all signs point to
a ticking time bomb--

There were mitigating
circumstances.

I heard it was
self-defense.

But you know as well
as i do, that there are

Many ways to
diffuse a situation--

It was one week
after his wife died.

Oh.

Really?
Wow.

Left him with a
four-year-old son.

Yeah, andy's sister
helps out a lot.

Whoa!

She has a pretty
flexible schedule,

So she watches logan
for me most days.

And then, if
she can't do it,

Mom always
just fills in.

Well, one way or another,
you just figure it out.

Ooh, let's color this.

- Yeah?
- Instead.

- Instead?
- Oh, this is pink.

He seems happy.

Yay.

Yeah, he is.

Think we're gonna be all right,
me and him.

Um...

Look, thanks
for this chance, kelly.

I really needed it.

I know.

Oh!
Are you gonna let him do that?

Hey.

[laughs]
