- And that's when Pryma figured out there was a mole inside PD
working with Campbell.
So we shook down the mole, and he him to admit
that as soon as Dell got out on bail,
he and Campbell were going after Severide.
So Pryma put a tracker on Dell the day he got out
and followed him right to the cabin.
- Whoa. Something like that happened to me,
I'd take retirement on the spot.
Can't believe they were back at work two weeks later.
- They were back two days later.

down with a fishing spear. - Yeah.

- Nope. I guess they're keeping it under wraps
until the hearing.
Don't worry, he'll get his. I'll make sure of that.

stuck in that damn meeting all day tomorrow.

There was a firefighter at 132

from high school in Downers Grove, Cassie.
Like, we hadn't spoken in years.
So we started spending more time together,

the wedding's in November.

one of those CFD gatherings for the brass that goes
on all day, you know, where the HR pencil pushers lecture
about how you can't make jokes anymore about women or race
or old people like me?
- Uh, old people are still funny.
- Agreed.
Anyway, my point is, Hawkins probably
had to be at the same meeting.
Maybe that's why you haven't heard from him.
- Mouch, I love you.
- I like the vibe of this place.
Thanks for the invite.
- I just wanted to clear the air before you started at 51.
- How do you mean?
- Let's be honest, Carver.
We were not exactly best friends at the Academy.
- We're two competitive, driven people.
That's all.
Probably more what we had in common that
kept us battling back then.
- That and your cocky attitude.
- [chuckles] I hear that.
But I was a newbie.
It's one of the reasons I'm so stoked to be at 51,
is to show you the kind of firefighter I am now.
Well, tell me about you and this fast track to lieutenant.
How'd it all come about?
- A hell of a lot of work, studying,
training sessions, leadership seminars.
- I'm sure Chief Boden was a big supporter.
- He was.
And DC Hill gave me a boost.
- Ah, DC Hill, [chuckles] that makes sense.
- What do you mean?
- Just that I can see her being a fan.
Let me get the next round.
- Good chat with Carver?
- Ha.
I mention getting a little support from DC Hill,
and he says that makes sense.
What the hell do you think he meant by that?
- You're asking me? Or you already have--
- He thinks that only reason I got promoted is
because I'm a woman of color.
- [sighs] Or he's trying to get to you,
but either way, not cool.
What are you going to do?
- For some reason, Boden loves this guy, so I--
I just--I--I got to do my best to make it work.
Mm.
You connect with Upton?
Can she help?
- Some things cops and firefighters
don't see eye to eye on.
I mean, just--inside man needs to be outed.
I just don't know how to force the issue.
- You could go a little further up the chain.
Listen, maybe it's time you checked
in with Commander Pearce.

It's a good thing.
Hey, uh, do you have a minute, Commander?
I need some help with, uh, a little situation
I got roped into.
- You did him wrong.
Your father loved you above all else.
He'd've done anything for you.
- I know that.
- Then why toward the end of his life
did he have to lean on friends like me
instead of his only son?
- I think you know that Benny was a complicated man.
- He was your father, and he deserved
better than what you gave him.
So what makes you think I'm inclined to do
any favors for you?
- When I was 16, uh, I came home late one night,
and I saw Benny sitting in the dark,
halfway through a bottle of rye, tears on his face.
I asked him what was wrong, and he just
kept muttering on and on about some big mistake
he almost made, the kind of thing you can't undo,
that he'd be rotting in jail right now if Marty Pearce
hadn't set him straight.
Yeah, the next day when he sobered up,
I asked him about it.
He just acted like he didn't know what I was talking about.
But from then on, one thing I knew for sure,
you are a man of honor.
Benny was not an easy man to steer in the right direction.
I'm not here because I think you'll do me any favors.
I'm here because I know you'll do what's right.
[sighs]
- OK, I'd like you all to meet Sam Carver.
Carver was assigned to rig rescue
when Ray Salazar took a ride down
that collapsing stairway a few months back, in
that two-flat fire in Austin.
Carver was the first to locate Salazar,
and he managed to reach through the wreckage,
get a grip on him before he slid into the basement, which
was fully aflame.
And he held onto him and worked to dig Salazar out,
even when the building started shifting.
35 minutes to extricate, Carver never wavered.
And it's because of him that Salazar got to go home
to his four-year-old twins, and that's when
I knew he was 51 material.
- I just did what I had to do to make the save.
It helps when you're born without the fear gene.

- Welcome to 51, Carver.
- Thank you.
- OK, get to work.

- Well, is there any way to stop the transfer?

means we don't have to hide our relationship anymore.
We can be like a real couple out in the world.

to Carver during the call.
He is capable of much more than that.
I hope you're not gonna let your personal feelings for
the man get in the way here.
- I am not, I assure you.
- Good.
- So you know, Chief, I was not sidelining him.
He needs to know his place on my rig.
He has not proven himself to me yet.
Mouch and Gallo have.
And I needed to see if he would handle
that well, which he did.
You told me to take him on board, and I did that.
But now I respectfully ask that you take a step back
and let me lead him my way.
- I can do that, but just a small step.

so much pull inside the department,
but you just cost me a useful CI.
- Campbell's mole.
- Danny Cavanaugh, everybody knows his name now,
so you may as well, too.
He's been stripped of his badge, facing charges.
- Good. - Like hell.
He wasn't just connected to Campbell.
He could've helped us shut down a major heroin pipeline,
but he's burned now.
- Got what he deserves.
- He did.
And you just lost yourself a valuable friend.
- You lost a friend?
What is that?
Is that--is that some kind of threat?
- Pfft, I doubt it.
Pryma's a good man, but I--
I couldn't back down from this battle.
- Yeah, I noticed.
Is everything OK?
- When I agreed to testify and take Campbell down,
I was only thinking of the risk to myself.
But we're married now, a team, and after everything happened
at the cabin, it hit me hard that the moves I
make affect you just as much.
