Chicago Fire

Just had a phone call from a Jack Nesbitt

looking for references for you.

It's a construction gig. They're renovating.

Here's my bid.

I like you, man. I trust you.

You got the job.

You scared me.

I don't remember any of it.

Nothing?

Nothing.

A restaurant in North Carolina.

Our grandfather left us this restaurant in his will.

What if we take a crack at opening it?

Hey, Milazzo's open!

20 seconds left! Don't let up, Wolverines!

Hey, Luke! Luke, what are you doing over there?

Come on! Pay attention!

Luke, the puck! The puck! No! Turn around!

No, no, no! The other way! The other way!

Turn around! Around! There you go!

That's my boy!

Come on, tripping! Ref!

He tripped over his own feet.

Whoa!

Whoa! Milazzo for the win!

We're going to the championship!

Hey, that was great!

Yeah!

Nice win, Wolverines. See you next week for the cup.

Just make sure you get your boys ready

for the trouncing they're about to get.

Let 'em know it's okay to cry.

Put your money where your mouth is?

Oh, you wanna bet on a kids' hockey game?

Oh, suddenly you're not so cocky.

Come on, 500 bucks.

It's on!

Chaplain.

See ya next week, sucker.

There's ten seconds left on the clock

when Luke gets the puck.

He's surrounded on all sides,

and he bobs and he weaves

and he gives 'em the slip!

- Oh, yeah. Go, Luke! - Yeah, I've never been so proud.

He gets the puck to the center, Milazzo,

who goes in, scores, and wins!

With an assist courtesy Luke Herrmann.

An assist?

Hey, morning, Chief.

Morning.

Hey, Chief.

Peter Mills,

are you ready to work Squad?

Of course. Medical cleared me, so...

So gear up, then.

Today?

Yes, today. With Severide out on medical,

Rice is stepping up into acting lieutenant.

Therefore I have a spot to fill.

Oh, wow. Uh, wait. Who's coming in to ride with Brett?

I have a relief medical, you in or you out?

Oh, I'm in.

I am totally in.

Got your gear, Mills?

Yeah.

Matt.

Hey.

Your shirt

that you lent me to, you know, wear home.

Um, I washed it.

You didn't have to do that.

Common courtesy. We agreed that what happened

wasn't gonna change anything between us,

that we were still just friends.

And if a friend lent me a shirt, I would wash it.

Fair enough.

No special treatment, right?

Right.

Hey, um...

Great night, though.

Yeah, it really was.

Hey, what do you guys know about Erik McAuley?

McAuley the paramedic. He's the worst.

Mr. Doom-and-Gloom.

Total bummer. Why?

Since Mills is working Squad,

McAuley's gonna relieve him on ambo.

Oh, God!

No. No, he's not.

Chief, are you bringing McAuley in?

Yes, I'm short a medic.

No! No way. I'll go work on ambo before McAuley comes back here

and brings the whole house down with his Eeyore routine.

Okay, good. Casey.

You willing to give up your candidate for a few shifts

till I find myself somebody permanent?

Wait, what?

Sure.

Thank you, Dawson.

Hey, great.

Help me with inventory.

Yeah, okay. Great.

Hey. What's new, Mills?

Well, my mom and Elise are going down to North Carolina

to sell my grandfather's restaurant.

Ought to pay off a couple credit card bills, you know?

What else?

Oh, what else?

Oh, yeah, I'm back on Squad, baby.

Truck 81, Squad 3, Ambulance 61,

Battalion 25, person trapped. Washtenaw and 19th.

What the hell is this?

Rice, get up there, take his weight off that bracket.

Casey, give him an overhead anchor point.

Herrmann, Mouch, Otis,

let's get a straight ladder up to him.

- Cruz, position the aerial. - Copy that.

Is he even alive?

He's alive! He's still breathing.

Well, let's get him down.

- I need a saw. - Got it.

Here you go.

Talk to me.

I can't get the bracket from this angle.

Mills, I need you to get it from above.

One second. Capp, grab the rope back.

Good to go!

All right, I got him.

Got it?

Yep. All right.

Okay, he's free.

- Got it? - Yep.

Okay, easy, easy...

There you go.

He's got a broken femur,

looks like a dislocated shoulder,

and multiple contusions.

This guy's been through hell.

Banana, banana, banana.

Banana?

Did he just say "banana"?

I think he did.

Okay, let's go.

The surgical wound is healing pretty well.

I was hoping to get back on shift today.

We need to keep an eye on your breathing

for another week or two.

I can breathe fine.

No pain.

See?

Fine. I'll... I'll sit out this shift,

but 72 hours from now...

No early fatigue when you exert? No need to catch your breath?

None.

I swear.

Hey, what happened to you?

You get handsy with the guys on truck again?

Okay, this is your fault, all right?

Mills is filling in for the spot on Squad.

The house was about to get McAuleyed, so I had to step up.

Oh, hey, that's great news for Mills, right?

You just missed the craziest call.

Unconscious victim, multiple broken bones,

impaled on a lamppost.

How in the hell did that happen?

Total mystery.

He did say something before he passed out, though. Banana.

Shay would have loved that.

Yeah, she would have.

Hey, I'm looking for April Sexton.

Not here.

I thought she worked here Tuesday mornings.

April's not on the schedule anymore.

Hit-and-run? The guy was 12 feet off the ground.

But think about it, though.

If he got hit by a city bus while he was crossing

the street, he could get launched pretty high.

Nah! To me, it smells like some kind of

Jackass-style stunt gone bad.

What does "banana" mean?

You know where they grow bananas?

Colombia.

These cartels get pretty creative with distributors

who don't hold up their end of the deal.

You guys learn anything else?

Nada.

I guess we'll know more when he comes to.

If he comes to.

What's Stilettos? It sounds like a strip club.

Oh, God.

It is a strip club, isn't it?

Yes, I landed a construction contract

expanding a club called Stilettos.

Permits just came through.

Lieutenant.

I've been meaning to ask you,

do you, by any chance, need any strong backs

for your side business?

'Cause I could use a little scratch.
