- Randall McHolland: [after Otis boasted about Scott Rice's supposed misconduct at Molly's the previous night] Yeah, all I'm saying is, you've made your point, but now it is time to drop it.
- Brian Zvonecek: What, pretend I didn't see what I saw?
- Randall McHolland: Well, of course not, but the bottom line is, we all gotta live together.
- Brian Zvonecek: What if it happens again? Severide needs to take a hard look at Rice instead of coming at me with his fists cocked.
- Joe Cruz: Severide is just doing his job as Rice's lieutenant, standing up for his guy.
- Brian Zvonecek: Yeah, well, who's gonna stand up for me?
- Gabriela Dawson: Hey, I am. I got your back 100%.
- Randall McHolland: We all have your back. That's not in question, but...
- Gabriela Dawson: Hey, Connie, what's up?
- Connie: Chief Boden is looking for Otis.
- Christopher Herrmann: Hey.
- Jessica Chilton: Oh, hey.
- Christopher Herrmann: How you doing?
- Jessica Chilton: Great.
- Christopher Herrmann: Yeah?
- Jessica Chilton: Hey, I'm ready for another one, just... Truck and friends only this time.
- Christopher Herrmann: Maybe... we hold off on it a little while.
- Jessica Chilton: Hold off?
- Christopher Herrmann: I know that you think I'm an overnight success, but the truth is, I took a lot of real big hits before I got Molly's up and running. I lost my shirt more than a couple of times.
- Jessica Chilton: Are you abandoning ship, Captain?
- Christopher Herrmann: I don't wanna see you hurt, that's all.
- Jessica Chilton: Okay. All right, I totally get it. But just so you know, I'm all in on this thing whether you're helping or not.
- Christopher Herrmann: I admire your stick-to-itiveness, but...
- Jessica Chilton: I'm not giving up, Herrmann. Hey, thanks for all your help. Nobody supported me like that since my dad died. This whole Chillieeze thing was his idea. You know, the funny thing is, is you actually... you remind me of him. It meant a lot. You looking out.
- Scott Rice: You gonna run a load, or you just here to keep an eye on me?
- Brian Zvonecek: Look, we both know what's going on.
- Scott Rice: What I know is that I'm the new guy, so I'm just hanging back and letting my lieutenant deal with this. Once that's run its course, if we still got a problem, you and me are gonna take a walk. We're gonna figure this out
- Jessica Chilton: Hey, whatcha making?
- Christopher Herrmann: Cheese toast, my specialty.
- Jessica Chilton: Little light on the cheese.
- Christopher Herrmann: My kids say the same damn thing.
- Jessica Chilton: [laughs] Hey, so I just hope you know I ain't mad at ya.
- Christopher Herrmann: I'm glad to hear it. 'Cause I been thinking about it again.
- Jessica Chilton: Uh-oh.
- Christopher Herrmann: If you're gonna keep going, so am I. You steer and I'll be your category five at your back. But you gotta promise me one thing.
- Jessica Chilton: What?
- Christopher Herrmann: No more using your own money on Chilleeze. All right, I spoke with Cindy about this. We're gonna give you a personal, no-interest loan, from the Molly's fund. That's how much I believe in this thing.
- Jessica Chilton: Wow, um... I can't accept that.
- Christopher Herrmann: Hey. You can and you will. And here's what you can give me in return. Nothing more than a chance to get in on the ground floor when this thing's up and running.
- Jessica Chilton: Herrmann! You're the man.
- Christopher Herrmann: You're a good kid.
- Jessica Chilton: Thank you.
- Matthew Casey: [after being told about a scuffle between Severide and Otis that happened at Molly's the previous night] You out of your mind? Did you really take a swing at Otis?
- Kelly Severide: Tried to. And I might try again. You need to get your guys in line.
- Matthew Casey: Maybe my guys aren't the problem.
- Kelly Severide: The hell they're not.
- Matthew Casey: Before your buddy Rice got here, Otis and Cruz were just as much family to you as Capp and Tony.
- Kelly Severide: I know Rice. He's not a ducker.
- Matthew Casey: You better be damn sure!
- Kelly Severide: Yeah, and you better keep Truck on their side of the fence!
- Matthew Casey: Oh, that's always a great move. Drawing lines between Truck and Squad. Like when you decided Squad doesn't vent right before Darden went up in flames!
- Kelly Severide: Did you really just say that?
- Matthew Casey: I'm just trying to make the point that if you...
- Kelly Severide: No, I got the point! Loud and clear!
- Jessica Chilton: Okay, so the SEC has a lot of really boring rules about what constitutes as an investment for, um, a private business. So, technically, I can't really solicit investments, and you guys wouldn't be considered investors. You'd be backers. And the good news is, is that backers get rewards.
- [chorus of "yeahs"]
- Jessica Chilton: Yeah, do you wanna hear what the rewards are?
- [chorus of "yeahs"]
- Jessica Chilton: Okay, so, for ten dollars or more, you'll receive a six-pack of the inaugural round of Chilleeze Champagne.
- Capp: Wait, how many?
- Jessica Chilton: Hey, guys, actually, you know what, could you maybe tighten up the ranks a little bit so I don't have to yell at you?
- Christopher Herrmann: Yeah, come on up. Don't be shy. We've got plenty of room up here. Come on. Slide up.
- [Capp puts his coat and beer on Otis's and Cruz's table]
- Brian Zvonecek: Oh, uh, sorry, you know, this is a Truck table. No Squad allowed. I'm sure you guys understand.
- Capp: When did you get so mouthy?
- Brian Zvonecek: You know what, I think it was right around the time I was accused of being a whiny gossip, when the fact of the matter is I'm right. Rice is a ducker.
- Tony: Whoa!
- [Severide lunges at Otis]
- Jessica Chilton: Hey, guys, come on!
- Kelly Severide: Why don't you stand up, huh?
- Sylvie Brett: Guys!
- Kelly Severide: I told you once! You need to shut your mouth! You don't get a second warning!
- Brian Zvonecek: You keep sticking your head in the sand. Rice was ducking and no one on Squad gives a crap!
- [Severide and Otis fight until other people restrain them]
- Tony: Knock it off!
- Kelly Severide: You know what, there's plenty of other places in this town to grab a drink.
- Gabriela Dawson: [glares threantingly] Yeah, there are.
- Capp: You better watch yourself, Otis.
- Christopher Herrmann: Hey, enough with this sideshow. All right, let's go, come on. Back to the main event, man. All right, so listen, Chilli, you were saying about the rewards and...
- Jessica Chilton: It's okay. Let's just forget it.
- Christopher Herrmann: Nah, come on, are you sure?
- Jessica Chilton: It's fine. I'll just do it at the firehouse again sometime.
- [tries to take the poster off the easel, but they crash to the ground. She leaves Molly's in distress]
- Christopher Herrmann: [to Otis] Really?
- [Otis shrugs]
- Brian Zvonecek: You looking for me, Chief?
- Wallace Boden: Yeah, come on in. Close the door and have a seat.
- Brian Zvonecek: What's up?
- Wallace Boden: I hear you still have a problem with Scott Rice.
- Brian Zvonecek: I think he's a danger to this firehouse. Yeah. Chief, twice. I saw him back out of a call when things got hairy. So-called "equipment issues". Both times.
- Wallace Boden: Do you have any proof they weren't real issues?
- Brian Zvonecek: No. It is a gut feeling.
- Wallace Boden: Okay. Is there anything else going on with you that I need to be made aware of, Brian? You fed up being stuck on elevator duty for the last seven years? Tired of the grind of shift work? Do you need to take a furlough?
- Brian Zvonecek: No, sir, I... I'm very happy here at 51.
- Wallace Boden: Then I suggest you stop shooting off your mouth. Lieutenant Severide is responsible for supervising the men under his command and I intend to let him do so. Now, can you handle that... or not?
- Brian Zvonecek: I can, sir.
- Wallace Boden: Get back to work.
- Matthew Casey: Connie said you wanted to see me, Chief.
- Wallace Boden: Yeah, come on in. Close the door. Okay. What is going on in my firehouse? Is it some kind of problem with Scott Rice?
- Kelly Severide: The only person who's got a problem with Scott Rice is Otis. And it's a total load.
- Wallace Boden: Specifically?
- Kelly Severide: It's not worth repeating.
- Matthew Casey: I agree, and I've already talked to Otis about it.
- Wallace Boden: Well, now you're talking to me. What is the accusation?
- Kelly Severide: There's a bogus claim that Rice ducked on a call.
- Wallace Boden: If it was bogus, why hasn't it been put to rest?
- Kelly Severide: That's what I want to know.
- Wallace Boden: Okay, the two of you. Get this situation under control. Understood?
- Matthew Casey: On it, Chief.
- Kelly Severide: You gonna talk to your guys?
- Matthew Casey: I will, yeah. Right now, I gotta go deal with Jack Nesbitt.
- Kelly Severide: Your... Your side business is more important than this?
- Matthew Casey: Actually, yeah. It is.
- Jessica Chilton: That shower was the greatest thing that's ever happened to me.
- Gabriela Dawson: Who was in there with you?
- Jessica Chilton: The true love of my life. Hot water.
- Sylvie Brett: None at home?
- Jessica Chilton: Oh, no, it got turned off. I didn't pay my bill on time. Chilleeze is soaking up all my funds. Hey, if you're not a risk-taker, you should get the hell out of business, right?
- Sylvie Brett: Um, hey, if you need to borrow some, it's...
- Jessica Chilton: No! No way! I got this!
- Christopher Herrmann: Whatever I said, it was in jest.
- Gabriela Dawson: We need to talk to you about Chilli.
- Sylvie Brett: Did you know she's put every penny she's got into this Chillieeze idea?
- Gabriela Dawson: Look, she respects you, so we were hoping... maybe instead of letting her put all her money into that new logo, you could get her to slow down.
- Christopher Herrmann: Slow down? You think that's the advice Mark Cuban gives his contestants on Shark Tank?
- Gabriela Dawson: I literally have no idea, but...
- Christopher Herrmann: You think Sir Richard Branson says every morning, "Oh, I better slow down"? The answer is no. He says, "How much faster can I go?"
- Sylvie Brett: Chilli is not a billionaire, Herrmann.
- Christopher Herrmann: And neither were those two before they struck gold. Do you have any idea who Chilli reminds me of? A young Christopher Herrmann. Big ideas, bright horizons. The last thing I'm gonna do is stand in that kid's way.
- [Dawson's cell phone rings]
- Gabriela Dawson: Sorry, guys, one sec.
- [answers her cell]
- Gabriela Dawson: Hey, Antonio, can I hit you back in a few? Of course, yeah. What's wrong?
- Sylvie Brett: Hey, Chief.
- Wallace Boden: Is everything okay?
- Sylvie Brett: Ah, it will be, I'm sure.
- Wallace Boden: But everything is not okay now?
- Sylvie Brett: They're big boys. They'll figure it out.
- Wallace Boden: Who? I was asking about your new partner.
- Sylvie Brett: Of course. Yeah, she's great. It's a really good fit. Thanks for asking.
- Wallace Boden: What were you talking about?
- Sylvie Brett: Nothing.
- [alarm blares]
- Dispatcher: Ambulance 61, person down. 9633 North Cleveland Avenue.
- Matthew Casey: [after Otis told him about his suspicions about Scott Rice] Rice's mask malfunctions once, and you decide he's a ducker.
- Joe Cruz: Because I couldn't find anything wrong with his regulator.
- Matthew Casey: Which begs the question: Why are you snooping around his gear?
- Brian Zvonecek: Look, it's not just the mask, Casey. There's also the time he went back for his Denver bar.
- Matthew Casey: [sacrastically] Oh, right, I almost forgot, the Denver bar. That clinches it.
- Brian Zvonecek: Lieutenant, I don't think we're overreacting here. What I do think is Severide is being blinded by his friendship with that guy.
- Matthew Casey: You guys can't go around talking smack about a member of Severide's team and not expect him to tear you a new one! I don't want to hear another word! Got it?
- Joe Cruz: We got it, Leiutenant.
- Connie: Casey, Sergant Voight wants to talk to you.
- Matthew Casey: Not interested. And tell him to stop calling.
- Connie: He's not on the phone this time.
- Antonio Dawson: Sergeant, old friend of yours is here.
- Hank Voight: Thanks for coming.
- Matthew Casey: You win. What do you need from me?
- Hank Voight: How long you work for Nesbitt?
- Matthew Casey: Little over a month, I guess.
- Hank Voight: Doing what?
- Matthew Casey: Expanding his club.
- Hank Voight: You see anything shady in your time over there?
- Matthew Casey: It's a strip club.
- Antonio Dawson: These guys traffic Eastern European women against their will across the Canadian border through an Indian reservation. They force them into work. It's kind of like indentured servitude.
- Matthew Casey: Like dancing at Stilettos?
- Hank Voight: Yeah, if they're lucky.
- Antonio Dawson: Point is, Nesbitt's almost certainly involved in some capacity. I mean, maybe he's only laundering the gang's money through his club, but he could be in much deeper.
- Hank Voight: Look, Casey, these women are being held against their will. Most of 'em have a sister or a mother back home who's under threat from the gang.
- Matthew Casey: Look, I get the general concept. Just tell me how I can help.
- Antonio Dawson: All right, first step: go to Nesbitt and get your job back. We'll figure it out from there.
- Matthew Casey: Olde Rumpelstiltskin 20. Only the best, huh?
- Jack Nesbitt: Always.
- Matthew Casey: Two scotches, on the rocks. Thanks.
- Jack Nesbitt: Are you buying me a drink in my own place?
- Matthew Casey: Listen, Jack, if we don't get in each other's faces, I think we'll work together just fine.
- Jack Nesbitt: Sounds more than fair. You passed the integrity test, Matt. An honest man is... hard to come by in this town.
- Matthew Casey: Can't argue with that.
- Jack Nesbitt: Welcome back. Friday night, I'm hosting an event. The investors want you there. Can you make it?
- Matthew Casey: Friday? Yeah, sure.
- Jack Nesbitt: Katya. Show Matt a good time, will you?
- Katya: Of course. I knew you'd be back.
- Matthew Casey: Really? I wasn't so sure. What's this event on Friday?
- Katya: Oh, it's just a little thing we do from time to time to show off the new girls. I'm glad you're back, Matt. You and me, we can look out for each other. That sound okay?
- Matthew Casey: Yeah.
- Kelly Severide: Hey, um, Rice, I've been meaning to ask- are you still using that loaner or did you get your mask back from the shop?
- Scott Rice: Ah, no, got mine. Jerry at Air-Mask said it was just a faulty gauge. Fixed it up good as new.
- Kelly Severide: Glad to hear it.
- [alarm blares]
- Dispatcher: Truck, 81, Squad 3, Ambo 61, car fire.
