Chicago Fire

What's your story?

SubScene: Smurf

If we're gonna be partners, I need to know.

I was a surgical resident.

I cheated on my boards

and got kicked out.

Good to see you, man.

Good to see you, Ritter.

Hey, maybe you noticed

I'm not with Engine 37 anymore.

You'll get a permanent assignment soon enough.

I have a suggestion for your Engine Lieutenant.

I won't let Jerry Gorsch call the shots.

You need to make the best choice for the house.

I am proud to announce

Christopher Herrmann will be taking over

as the next Lieutenant on Engine 51.

Those bugles look good on you...

Lieutenant.

They feel good.

Hey.

What do you got going on today?

You plan on just hanging out around here?

Unless we get a call.

Well, yeah, but no plans to...

go to headquarters, the supply people,

giving expert testimony,

you know, nothing like that?

What's up?

One of my best friends from high school is in town.

- Yeah? - Yes.

And I really want you to meet him.

I mean, he's basically like my twin brother.

He's... he's the best. You're gonna love him.

Let me know when he gets here.

I will.

Empty every length of 2 1/2 out of the hose bed

and flake it off down the apron.

Hey, Herrmann.

Maybe you forgot,

but we dropped the lines last shift.

And then they were used on two calls.

Drop 'em again.

You're a real ball-buster, Lieutenant.

It's standard procedure

to inspect the hose beds every shift.

They know that.

He's just testing the new guy

to see what he can get away with.

Maybe they don't like taking orders

from someone coming off truck.

Nobody likes taking orders, period.

My youngest decided that he wanted to go to school today

dressed as Spider-Man.

I told him to change

and he threw a tantrum.

And?

And I didn't have time to argue,

so he went to school dressed as Spider-Man.

Engine 51, Truck 81.

All right, let's break it and go.

Mouch. Otis.

Primary search on one.

Kidd, with me.

All right, it looks like a one-roomer.

Let's get a quick hit on it.

Grab the crosslay.

Let's go.

Strike.

Fire department, call out!

Fire department, call out!

Clear the doorway.

Heads up, Captain,

- we'll knock it down for you! - Go!

Fire department! Call out!

We got one!

Sir, can you hear me?

Truck 81 has an adult male,

bringing him out the A-side.

Is he breathing?

I don't know. Let's turn him over.

On three. One, two, three.

I got a pulse. Let's get him in.

What the hell happened to him?

Those weren't thermal burns.

Okay. Let's get ready for overhaul.

Looks like something exploded in here.

Don't smell any gas.

Should we get the monitor just in case?

This wasn't gas.

The appliances are all still intact.

This looks like the blast point.

V-pattern, upward and outward.

Curtains caught fire and then it spread from there.

Guy's hands were missing,

which means that he could have been holding whatever exploded.

Could be a homemade pipe bomb.

Yeah, these are charred on the inside.

This was the bomb casing.

Well, it looks like he tried to put the fire out.

This is from the extinguisher.

But, uh, where's the canister?

That's not from a fire extinguisher.

That's from a grenade.

81 to Main requesting Bomb Squad

and police response at 982 North Alfred.

Bomb Squad?

A grenade exploded.

For all we know, there's more inside.

Nobody goes back in.

You got it, Captain.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing, Barnes?

Re-bedding the supply line.

What? No.

Reconnect to the hydrant first

and fill up the booster tank.

We can fill up at 51.

What if we get another call on the way back, huh?

Ritter!

Missed you at the picnic.

Yeah, sorry about that.

Who's this, huh?

Oh, this is Tuesday.

I adopted her a few weeks ago.

You know why Dalmatians are firefighter dogs, don't you?

Yeah, they were bred to run with horses.

That's right. And now,

they get to be lazy

and ride in trucks and eat treats all day,

don't you? Yeah, you do.

Tuesday. Off.

She knows "sit" and "stay."

But that's about it.

Eh, she's young. She'll learn.

You bring her to work with you then?

Puppies are 24/7.

Uh, nah.

I've been staying home with her,

you know, while I look for a new job.

I quit the CFD.

That's why I didn't go to the picnic.

Are you sure that's what you want?

I mean, maybe if you keep floating,

you'll find the right fit somewhere.

I'm sure.

But I really appreciate

all the advice you gave me.

And for believing in me.

So I brought you a present to say thanks.

My uncle gave this to me

when I joined the department.

But now...

Oh, I can't accept this.

I don't want the reminder

and I don't want to throw it away.

I want you to have it.

See you around, Mouch.

Hey, come on.

Leave it. Come on.

Hey, Chief, uh...

I don't want to jinx a no-hitter,

but I haven't seen Gorsch around lately.

What gives?

Said he'd be gone all week.

Didn't feel the need to say why.

Maybe he's backing off?

No, too much to hope for.

Hey.

How's things going on the engine?

Hell of a first call as a new Lieutenant.

Eh, the fire was contained.

We knocked it out pretty quick, so...

So far so good.

That's great.

'Cause I ruffled a few feathers

passing over Gorsch's brother-in-law, so...

We need a smooth transition.

Thank you.

Yep.

You any good at those?

Hey.

I'm looking for Stella Kidd.

You must be Tyler.

Yeah.

Kelly Severide.

Ah.

The boyfriend.

Yep.

You're one lucky dude, man.

I think Kidd's in the kitchen

grabbing something to eat.

Follow me.

Oh, you made it!

Yeah. It's good to see you.

Oh, you too.

God, oh, and you two met!

- Yeah. - I missed it.

Ah, well.

Everyone, this is Tyler.

This is my best friend from high school.
