00:00I
00:04Want a family with you Kelly is adoption something that you would consider. I think that sounds just right I
00:13Invited Carver to join said he had plans
00:18You here for the meeting mm-hmm straight back and up those stairs
00:25I'm Sam and
00:31I
00:35Mean alcoholic
00:40That's the first time I said that I love
00:44I've got 22 days today
00:47Most I've gone since I was about 14 and I wish I wish I could say it feels great
01:00I don't know. Maybe part of me isn't convinced. I need to be here
01:06But I don't feel too comfortable in my regular life either
01:14But I see all you smiling at me and being nice to me and
01:21Yeah, it's a little weird
01:23But
01:26It also makes me feel like you guys get it and that makes me feel like maybe I am in the right place
01:33I
01:48When I woke up to an empty bed, I figured for sure you were making coffee
01:52I thought about it and I got my head how it would look if you found me rummaging through your kitchen
01:58Whenever you're here make yourself at home or hey at least make coffee so I can have some
02:06Understood what's all this a
02:10New case it's kind of kicking my ass
02:13Well, I'm here if you want help
02:15Yeah, I haven't brought it up yet
02:17because
02:18Crossing work and personal roles can get kind of weird, but my clients actually a medic. Oh
02:24Well go on
02:27The state charged him with criminally negligent homicide for a patient that died in his care. Oh, that's rough
02:33The prosecution's written down my neck to get him to take a plea deal, but you think he acted properly
02:39That's what this early morning cram sessions for I need to determine if he followed procedure if he did find proof and take you to
02:46the prosecution
02:48Well, I would love to help and this is my area of expertise
02:51Well that and baking artisanal bread or organic chemistry and actually maybe it'd be faster name the things that I'm not good at
03:00coffee and expertise
03:03Find one guy in Chicago luckier than me
03:15Hey, man, I'm Lee Sam
03:21Great share, dude
03:23Seriously listening to you. That was the first time that I felt connected in a meeting in a while

04:43People think they're rodents, but they're actually marsupials
04:46Hmm, okay
04:48Well when I retire, I'm taking another shot at expanding Molly's into a chain
04:54You'll make it the dickers of Chicago pubs
04:58I'm gonna focus on my drumming when we get the old band back together. Yeah, what about you match? What are your retirement plans?
05:05Thinking that far ahead right now. My plans are all about the CFD. Yeah, I wish I had that kind of gumption
05:16Person trapped
05:34The hell is this place

08:04Hey, um, just want to let you know that I told violet about the adoption idea
08:11Yeah
08:13But I I told her not to spread it around that we're just starting to discuss it. So sure. Yeah
08:21It makes sense
08:23Did you know that they call us Stella, right?
08:26Who's they I don't know actually
08:30But anyways, I heard you pull quite the move with the zipline earlier
08:35Yeah, I mean climbing the tower rigging your own zipline. It's
08:41It's pretty impressive
08:43Well, I feel like you're about to ask for a favor. I
08:46Need new girls on fire drills. I want something badass something like what you did today
08:52You want me to teach a girls on fire course the tenant? I know that they would love
08:56Learning under squad, especially something technical and fun with the ropes. I mean they have never done anything like that before
09:03I'll start thinking on it now
09:05You are the best
09:07Thank you
09:11Hey everybody I got an announcement
09:14Um, you know all that retirement talk, you know, he got me thinking if I
09:20Really want to expand Molly's then I got to start building it now, you know and just get it
09:27You know more of a brand name status. Are we gonna do that?
09:30Well, we're gonna create a signature cocktail that'll help, you know, Molly stand out. What's the cocktail gonna be?
09:38All right. Well, this is where you are guys all come in. Okay tomorrow night at Molly's
09:43I want everybody there for taste testing. I'm in. Yeah, me too. So you're gonna have to miss it next time
09:49Well, actually this is a once-in-a-lifetime
09:52opportunity, but
09:53Suit yourself. Hey, I've been seeing you around at Molly's in a while Carver kind of missing you there
10:00I'm sure I'll get there soon
10:03You
10:08Don't EMS protocols are available online, right? Well Flynn and his client are coming by later to talk through the case
10:13I just I want to make sure I brushed up on protocols. Well fill me in
10:17Maybe I can help
10:19Okay
10:20Victim was epileptic family called 9-1-1 after a really bad seizure by the time the medics got there
10:25He had stopped seizing but was barely conscious
10:27He came to in the ambulance and became very aggressive so the medic administered for said to help calm him down
10:33Short time later patient went into cardiac arrest and died
10:36That's sad. Yeah, I know and the protocols on the administration of her said are pretty cut-and-dried and it seems like he followed them
10:45So why are they going after him? The family is putting a lot of pressure on the state's attorneys
10:49They're saying the victim should have never been given the drug at all. Well, that's a tough position for the medic
10:54I think that's why I want to help. I would hope someone would step in if it were me
11:01Me too
11:07Hey, it's Sam from the meeting
11:12Hope so weird
11:14me falling
11:18But I'm having one of those days where I
11:20I
11:22Don't know everyone at work goes
11:30We all hang at this bar Molly's and I know it's not a great idea to go
11:38But I don't know what's worse
11:41Saying they're nursing a soda and pretending like I'm not crawling out of my skin
11:47or staying away and
11:50Feeling
11:52Feeling totally disconnected from everyone
12:04I'm sorry to unload that I just whatever I'll figure it out
12:14See you around
12:21Hey, let's go out to meet you just got your text my client just stopped to talk to one of your engine guys
12:25I guess he's to work here. Really? Yeah, you didn't mention it, but maybe you know
12:35Yep, we definitely know each other
12:44Hey Violet
12:46Lennox why didn't you tell me you knew each other cuz he knows I would have told you not to come
12:51Two minutes. That's all I'm asking for
12:54The way that your CFD career ended Lennox. I am NOT getting involved. So you're not gonna even hear me out
13:00Jerry if I was not comfortable, she's not doing it. Let's go
13:11I'm so sorry. I knew he was CFD, but he's in mentioned 51
13:16He was just a floater. He was only here for a few shifts. I
13:19will explain everything later, but
13:21You do not have to apologize. That was a very Lennox thing to do
13:35Was that who I think it was the guy who almost got us fired last year. Yeah, it was
13:41Apparently he's working for a private ambulance company since Chief Robinson sent him packing. What did he want?
13:46My help which is insane given that he was just charged with criminally negligent homicide for doing exactly what we saw him do last year
13:54Damn
14:07Dude thanks for coming all the way down here. We really didn't have to be honest
14:12I was just sitting around watching Netflix feeling sorry for myself
14:16I was gonna hit a meeting but talking one-on-one face-to-face. That's that's the best way to get out of my head
14:21So you're a firefighter? That's pretty badass
14:26Yeah
14:27Who's that?
14:29Violet she's just a co-worker
14:32Just a co-worker
14:35We've dated for a while, but she's just a friend now. Yeah, it sounds messy working with your ex I guess but
14:43The friendship part is what's hard right now
14:46Uh
14:49It's the thing I've been missing the most since I stopped going to Molly's
14:55You won't have to stay away forever
14:58Some point in a bit you'll be able to go back just hang out there, you know
15:03But right now to
15:06Take it from the chronic relapser
15:09Putting yourself in that situation with that person before you build a solid foundation in recovery
15:16We plan a fire
15:26Come on
15:28Hey guys
15:29Automatic loser. I am aware. Thank God. I hate cleaning the compartments, you know
15:34It would go a lot faster if we clean them all together. Yeah, probably would have fun
15:40Hey Cruz, you busy? He's about to get elbow-deep in some compartment cleaning anymore
15:44I need him you to take over
15:50What's up, I need you to put together a ropes course for girls on fire
15:53I was gonna do it, but ask I'll just dump the whole bunch of performance reviews on me
15:59Performance reviews should be worried. That's how you doing this
16:04Any kind of direction here kid says something technical and fun start there think squat ready
16:14I
16:20What are you doing back here just need to talk to Violet
16:25It'll only take a minute and then I'll be gone
16:38I know I screwed up when I was here in 51 and so many ways I
16:43Was arrogant and
16:47Disrespectful Oh Lennox, I am NOT turning you down because I felt
16:52Disrespected I saw you do the exact same thing
16:56Shoot someone up with for said who did not need it and without checking their oxygen. No this guy. He really was agitated
17:03You almost killed your patient last year
17:06Why would I believe you now?
17:10You're right
17:12I got lucky last year and the patient survived and if he hadn't
17:18That was on me
17:20but this time I
17:22Swear, I did it by the book
17:25Believe it or not. I learned a lot from you when I was writing 61. I would never do that again
17:30He would have hurt himself if I hadn't administered that dose. I'm sure of it
17:36And you are sure you checked his oxygen first
17:39Yes, and I was monitoring his levels because of what you drilled into me I didn't want to make that same mistake again I
17:51Was pretty gutted when he died
17:55At his house
17:59The way the family seemed
18:03You could just tell how much they loved him
18:06You know
18:10Oh
18:12There's gotta be someone else you can go to another medic that you've worked with
18:16Sure, but none of them are a PIC with first-hand knowledge of me or my case
18:22Flynn could be the best lawyer in Cook County, but I need you to back me up. I
18:27Need you
18:29This isn't just my career. We're talking about. It's my entire life on the line
18:34And you can save me
18:39I
18:42Want it
18:43He's like a cautionary tale to all CFD floaters
18:47Honestly, I am surprised that you didn't wail on him the way you do the heavy bag or the Kelly didn't kill him, huh?
18:54Yeah, I
18:56Actually think that I'm gonna help him
18:59The way he was talking I believed him it sounded like he followed protocol, but something went horribly wrong
19:06Well, so what does he expect you to do basically vouch for him at the state attorney's and give my expert opinion as a PIC
19:13Well, I mean look either way
19:17He is lucky as hell to have you on his team
19:20We'll see I
19:22Call it the ladder hang
19:25Girls run up to the hanging lines use a specialty knot to tie off their harnesses to it and let go then what?
19:33Then what what what do they do next?
19:35They sit down and see if they're not can handle their weight. So severed asked for a squad worthy drill and you're having them sit
19:44Tying the knot technical hanging from the rope fun. Those were the instructions. These are kids
19:51What do you want them to repel through a ring of fire? No, we could as a demonstration. We're not gonna do that
19:58What's all this?
20:00Severite asked us to put together a squad rule for girls on fire. It's called the ladder hang ladder hang
20:13Want all this cleaned up before the end of shift
20:17He hates it we're going with the ladder hang end of discussion
20:22That dozer first said was not only medically indicated it was absolutely necessary to prevent mr.
20:28Vicente from harming himself. The victim had no history of aggressive or irrational behavior. No mental illness
20:33He was a pillar of his community
20:34His family's adamant about all this and they're more than eager to testify to it under oath. I don't doubt any of that
20:40But seizure victims can sometimes have what's called pastictal events or when they regain awareness. They can become agitated and confused
20:48As I'm sure you're already aware the victim tried no one. Mr. Lennox claims the victim tried to the victim tried to jump from a
20:53Moving ambulance. Mr. Strauss. He tried to rip the IV from out of his arm
20:58Mr. Lennox was obviously concerned about this man's safety
21:01What's at issue in this case is not whether or not the verse said was medically indicated
21:05Even if we grant that the victim's behavior warranted the dose it was mr
21:09Lennox's criminally negligent failure to monitor his patients vitals that led directly to mr
21:13Vicente's death my client will testify under oath that he monitored his patient at all times and the cardiac event came on suddenly without any
21:19Warning has zero credibility here. Mr. Calhoun
21:23He was fired from the CFD for a nearly identical act of negligence less than a year ago
21:27The family was shocked and appalled when they heard that in fact, so considering what they're pushing for
21:32Did the offer on the tables more than generous?
21:36Now if you'll excuse me, I have another meeting
21:57You
22:27You
22:40All right people signature cocktail, all right option number one
22:46camel I
22:47Want to know about the name, but I'm afraid to know the answer right now. It's engines mascot
22:53No, I figured we just lean into it all the firefighter. Yes. He has one for every rig at 51
22:59So brace yourself bottoms up everybody. Well, you go to it
23:09It's really really sweet it's marzipan for
23:13Big no
23:15There's good feedback. All right, we'll just put this in the you know, maybe calm
23:21Hey guys, so where are we at with the girls on fire drill? Ah, I
23:28Came up with
23:30The ladder hang so the girls they tie their harnesses off to the rope sit back and see if they're not can handle the weight
23:38Is that it? It's exactly what we said
23:41Cruise, what do you think Stella is gonna say when she sees this?
23:45Good job
23:47This is a great drill for somebody who has no squad training
23:50It's gonna look like we're going easy on them because the girls know that's not what I was trying to do
23:55Maybe not consciously could be internalized misogyny. Hmm
24:00Could be we take this outside. Hey, just
24:03Don't worry about forget. No, I can step it up a notch. No, really. It's fine. I am thinking on some ideas anyway
24:09I
24:14Hello, yes, this is she
24:21Yeah, thank you officer I I'll be right there
24:29Officer yeah carves in the drum tank flashbacks two years ago. I
24:37Gotta go
24:39Hey
24:41We're not gonna charge him figured hauling his lieutenant down here was a tougher pill than a misdemeanor D&D anyway
24:47Yeah, we'll see about that
24:49Hey, man, Eddie, go get Sam Carver out of holding. Will you? Hey, what did he do? Anyway?
24:55Picked a fight with the bartender. The boy was hammered
24:59Stumbling around snagging shots off the bar and tossing him back without paying for them
25:03He was just being a drunken idiot
25:05But if you'd heard somebody who tried to get behind the wheel that's what the professional courtesy and I totally get it and
25:12Yeah, you can bet your ass he's not getting off easy with me
25:36I'm so sorry lieutenant. I I don't even know what to say about this. You actually know this guy
25:43yeah, he's kind of a
25:48Friend your friend just tried to get out of trouble by impersonating you
25:57I'm sorry, you got right into this. Are you just really glad it wasn't you this time?
26:05I'll see you tomorrow
26:15Dude the hell were you thinking Lee dropping my name like that? Oh, I'm sorry. It was so stupid
26:22Lost my wallet. I figured the cops would just let me bounce. I told him I was a firefighter
26:27What happened?
26:29it was like this story in the big book with the guy who puts the
26:33Whiskey in his milk, you know just sort of came out of nowhere
26:51I almost had a drink tonight, too
26:54Yeah, I was sitting around bored and I don't know I
27:00I was alone
27:03And
27:06Start thinking about
27:07now everyone was at Molly's and
27:10What's the big deal if I just pop by there and everyone?
27:14You mean violent?
27:17Oh again, dude that girl that girl is like seriously toxic to your sobriety
27:24You you don't know anything about her Lee
27:28Yeah, not totally this is totally I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. I'm still pretty wasted
27:33I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I shouldn't sit down. I should have been there for you
27:39And I will be from now on it's word of God, huh?
27:46I probably would have gone to Molly's if this hadn't happened. So you helped me without even realizing it
27:58Ah
28:01Come on give you lift home
28:08So you're saying I should take the plea deal
28:11All I'm saying is that the state's attorney isn't bagging down. I think it would be wise to have every option
28:19That's what I've been doing
28:22Whether I take a plea deal or go to trial
28:26It's starting to feel like I'm gonna end up in jail no matter what
28:31If we do end up at trial
28:34But the state be able to prove that we're said caused the victim's death
28:38Versed can't cause death in and of itself. It can lead to respiratory depression and that can cause cardiac arrest if it's not treated
28:46Lennox just walk me through everything that happened after the oxygen alarm went off
28:51It didn't but
28:54The oxygen alarm didn't go off the cardiac alarm did
28:58You sure?
29:00100% is this a good thing or a bad thing if there wasn't an oxygen event before the patient went into cardiac arrest
29:06Oh my god, then something other than the versed must have killed him
29:10Can can we prove it?
29:14The cardiac monitors on the ambulances keep a code summary of every call it documents the patient's heart rate oxygen levels all of it
29:21It even logs when and if the oxygen alarm was even triggered
29:24So the o2 alarms are saved on the code summary on most of the ambulances out there. Yeah
29:30So if we get our hands on the monitors from Lennox's ambulance
29:34It might give us the information we need to fight this
29:37We just have to hope that the monitor hasn't been used too many times or the old data will have been deleted
29:42Hey
29:49You're here early Trudy's at PT figured I'd help open up I guess there's a first time for everything
29:59So
30:01What ended up being the winning cocktail? No
30:04Born a fire. It's basically a smoky martini. I know it's a squad slogan and that's annoying
30:12but it does say
30:14Firefighter bar and that's what makes Molly's, you know stand out from all the rest, right? Yeah
30:20See, I wouldn't offer you one, but you're already drinking
30:25You seem really excited about this whole expansion idea
30:30Yeah, I am Molly's north was a hit
30:34morning
30:35Would have still been up and running. Oh if Otis had
30:39Yeah, yeah, you know if you were still around
30:45Yeah, and if you could really franchise that make a pretty penny
30:54Okay, so you're not here to help me open up or have yet another free beer what's on your mind
31:00If
31:04You're ready to focus on Molly's
31:08Step away from the CFD. I
31:11Don't want you to grind toward that chief exam just for me man. No way
31:16No, we're in this together. We made our plan. I'm not gonna screw it up
31:22It's what you want to though, right?
31:25Absolutely
31:30Stop staring at me like that. You're freaking me out. All right, fine fine
31:35I'll have a board of fire. Don't do me any favor. I'm not it sounds like the perfect signature drink
31:43One born of fire coming up
32:01I
32:02Say I'm right good memory
32:05How's it going, uh
32:08You know up and down. Yeah, I get that feeling
32:13Things do even out eventually just thought that we guidance scary off
32:20What do you mean
32:22yeah, I met him a few months ago at another meeting and
32:25I
32:26First he seemed super nice and supportive, you know, two newcomers helping each other. But what happened he just
32:35from one day to the next he just got like
32:38fixated, you know suddenly he was all over my social media and
32:42posting some really weird comments to my friends in the middle of the night and then he
32:49showed up on my job and
32:51Threatened one of my co-workers
32:53What I had talked to Lee about her
32:56she was kind of a drinking buddy and he was all that girl's bad for your sobriety and
33:01He literally accosted her in the parking garage
33:21You
33:37What the hell are you doing
33:45Sir you need to get the hell out of my home right now. What I want is for you to leave me alone
33:50Stop talking to him
33:53Stop tempting him
33:54He's clean now. He doesn't need you goading him in who doesn't Sam
34:00He has a disease and you're making it worse. You're killing him and I'm not gonna let that happen. Oh, okay. Okay. Hey
34:09Sam and I are friends. No, you're not you're toxic. You are pushing him over the edge so that you can see him suffer
34:19I
34:29Told you I'd always have your back
34:33Stop OPD over here. He's got broken. I didn't do anything
34:40Sam hey Sam, tell them what I am man. Don't be calm. Oh, I am we'll be back to take a sleep
34:45Why are you letting do this?
34:47We're supposed to help each other
34:49We're supposed to help each other
34:59Are you okay?
35:01Yeah, I'm so sorry that happened. I'm really sorry Sam. What the hell was that?
35:14She says she didn't have to come in today
35:17Still I can see what she'd want to though. Yeah, she's a toughie
35:22Hey, how you doing? Hey
35:25Well, I am so glad to see you. I'm okay. Really I am
35:29Still it was a pretty scary situation. No. Yeah, it definitely was but
35:34Harvard saved the day and Flynn came over as soon as I called to make sure I felt safe for the night
35:38Wow, those are two really great guys. Yeah. Yeah, they are and I heard Ritter called like a hundred times from his little mountain getaway
35:45Yes, he did
35:49Okay, it's it's very sweet for you all to worry but uh, really I am fine, but are you fine enough for
35:57Kepp's cash of breakfast. Oh god. I hope you're making that up. Oh, he is not that's so true
36:04Sugar on it
36:07You wanted fun technical
36:11That's what you asked for. Yes. Well
36:14I'd say we delivered girls can climb the aerial harness in the rope zip line on down
36:23Wow, I
36:26Mean well, first of all, thank you
36:29second of all, I
36:32Think you may have lost your mind
36:36Kelly you know, some of these girls are 14, right?
36:39They cannot be doing something like this without any prior training it's dangerous
36:44I'm not sure what you were thinking what I was thinking was they
36:49Might appreciate the challenge
36:52Your chief came up with the idea after reading my report
36:57You see
37:02You are right
37:04Chief the girls would absolutely appreciate a challenge like this
37:09The thing is is that they all sign these liability waivers and they are
37:15Restricts so it limits what we can do. Other than that. It is great
37:27Never gonna live that down. I doubt it. We'll change the drill
37:32Thank you guys, mm-hmm Cruz we'll go ahead with the latter thing. Mm-hmm
37:39You heard him boys chop-chop
37:49You know, there is not a lot of born of fire order so far we need this to get traction
37:55I'm gonna say something
37:57Controversial here, maybe ten bucks is too much for a local pub cocktail
38:03You might be right
38:06You're smarter than you look, you know that right but a lot of things
38:17You sure you're okay being here
38:21Yeah, no, I'm good, okay, I wanted to be here with you
38:28And and everyone I just keep thinking I hate that I didn't suss that guy out sooner
38:35No, it is not your fault Sam. No, you're supposed to be able to trust people in those rooms
38:42and be vulnerable
38:44it's why it works right and
38:47It is so so messed up that some sick guy took advantage of that
38:55You know Sam I just I hope you know it
39:00It doesn't push you away from all the good people that are there
39:06That
39:09Is an agency that Brett recommended so the adoption lawyer that she is with Julia uses this place
39:17And Brett says they're great
39:21Option agency Wow for whenever we're ready
39:28So
39:31We'll call them tomorrow
39:34Yeah, it's a date
39:50Hi, did you get access to the ambulance rig?
39:53I was writing was taken out of service for the criminal case, which means the data was still there
39:57We were able to get the reports off the monitor which clearly showed the oxygen dropped after the cardiac arrest
40:02Which means there was an underlying condition probably set up from the epilepsy, okay
40:07So that's what caused the cardiac arrest not the first said
40:10States drop in the charges. I meant what I said about learning from you. I have no idea how to thank you
40:17either of you
40:19Well, I do it involves a cocktail called born of fire. It's a new signature drink around here
40:32Three signature fire cocktails coming up
