Chicago Fire

You can't work every case like this.

We'll never catch up,

and you'll never go back to squad.

- It's an electrical fire. - You clearly belong here

at OFI.

I just want to let you know I signed you up with the academy.

- Oh. - To be an instructor.

- You come directly from shift? - Yes, I did.

You might wanna alter your schedule.

Hold it for 60!

Hey, if you wanna take a shift off and get rest,

- then do it. - No, Chief is giving me

all these amazing opportunities and, uh...

I just don't want him to think I don't got the goods.

Were you drinking that in the shower?

- Multitasking! - Eh, you know I could set up

an IV there. Mainline caffeine directly into your system.

- Would you? -

Why are you getting ready here?

Oh, well, Hermann had plumbing issues,

and I was going to go over to Severide's, but, uh,

I missed my alarm. But anyway...

I'm turning things around. I'm feeling good.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

I just caught my second wind, and I am gonna rock this shift.

That's the Stella I know.

Gentleman! I'm gonna need to move

the ambulance supplies to the cabinets along the east wall.

So please give me a hand, empty 'em out.

No rush, just by the end of the shift.

- Copy that, Chief. - Yes, Chief.

All right, what I want you to do

is check the hydraulics on the aerial.

- Copy that. - See if we need to add some...

Gabby?

Matt...

It's beautiful...

Boden called it sacred ground.

He's right.

When'd you get in town?

Um, about an hour ago...

This is my first stop.

I wanted to see...

Truck 81, reckless climber, 423 West Michigan.

Don't go anywhere.

Brett's here. Everyone's gonna wanna see ya.

Okay.

- Hey, girl! - Hey!

- - Dawson!

Did you know she was coming?

This is about to get gross fast.

Chicago Fire S08E09 "Best Friend Magic"

Synced and corrected by Gianluca Belfiglio

Grab our rope bags and harnesses, some cutting tools,

suction cups. Let's get above him.

- Copy that, Captain. - Copy that.

This way.

I cleared the service elevators for you.

You know what floor he's on?

Last I heard, he was passing 26.

Get us to 30.

Follow me.

Give us room.

Stand back from the window please.

- Get back. - Coming through.

All right, looks like we got half-inch glass

inside these glazing units...

I'm going to take the suction cups, place them here and here,

while Kidd cuts the glaze around the outside.

Mouch, you do the same for Gallo on that window.

- Copy. - We'll flank him.

I want everyone anchored off to these support beams, yeah?

- Copy that. - Copy.

Anchor off, suction, cut...

Wait for my signal. Go, go, go.

- Hit it. - All right.

- Clear! - Okay.

Okay.

Kidd, what are you doing?

- - Come here.

Now!

Gotcha.

Ah, stay down!

Hey...

Put desks in front of these windows.

Don't let anyone near this area

until maintenance replaces them.

You got it.

All right. Great job, 81.

Let's pack up and get outta here.

Boss, shouldn't we...

- Dawson. - Ah.

Captain.

- Uh-oh. - Yeah.

You about to blow something up?

Probably.

So, I was looking at this strip mall fire

from the October stack, and...

it reminded me of a similar strip mall fire

I responded to three years ago.

You pulled a case file? From an old fire?

When we still have two months of new cases to sort?

Both fires took out five stores.

Both fires were fully engulfed within three minutes.

Multiple origin points.

Tell me these pictures don't look exactly the same.

Okay.

I think one arsonist set both fires.

Fine, how do we... how do we get 'em?

Well, according to this... we already did.

This is Dustin Caldwell.

He was arrested in 2016...

Convicted a year later, sentenced to 12 years in Stateville.

Yeah, this is ringing a bell. He was the delivery guy

for a deli at the strip mall, right?

And he did some demo work at a construction site nearby.

Prosecution offered him a plea deal, he refused,

maintained his innocence throughout the trial.

So, if he's in jail, then it wasn't one arsonist.

Or he's the wrong guy.

Either way...

we should talk to him.

See you later.

So I tell Otis, "Otis, if you wanna get a girlfriend

you gotta lose the goatee," right?

So, he does, and he looks about 12, and I'm like,

"Grow it back, grow it back!"

Oooh!

- Oh, God, I missed you! - How long are you in town?

- Um, till Friday, in-and-out. -

Well, we will take all the time we can get.

You staying for lunch?

I don't know... is Cruz cooking?

Ha ha ha. It's like you never left.

Um, this is Blake Gallo. He's new on Truck 81.

- Oh, hi. - Hey.

You've got a great captain you're working under.

Hey, guys, why don't we, uh, give Dawson and Casey

a minute to catch up?

So...

just two days, huh?

Yeah.

Yeah...

Try to make it longer next time.

This trip kind of came out of nowhere.

- Everything okay? - Oh, yeah, yeah...

No, there's this, um... there's this fundraiser ball thing,

and the doctor who covers it for my organization

had a conflict, so...

They sent me.

Well, ordered me actually.

Turns out big donors like to rub elbows with aid workers

who are out in the field. I guess it opens up

their pocketbooks or something. I don't know.

Well, I hope you weren't reluctant to come here

because of me.

No...

I mean... I have a lot of feelings wrapped up here.

- How's Antonio? - Great, actually.

Yeah, he's on our crisis response team in the Bahamas.

So... he's good.

- Been really good for him. - Good.

Um, I wanted to invite you...

that fundraiser ball's tomorrow...

If you can, it would really be great to have a moment to talk.

Is it okay if... if I think about it?
