The One Chicago crossover continued. There was a mass casualty event onboard a flight. There was one person that survived and she was pregnant. She was rushed to the hospital, but the feds weren’t allowing her to get medical attention. She was stuck in the back of Violet and Novak’s ambulance. They wouldn’t even allow Violet to go back there to help the crashing patient. Violet had to risk getting shot just to defy them. She went in the back to help Novak with the patient. They demanded that an OBGYN get sent to the ambulance to assist with the c-section. And Novak got blood near her eye when the patient began struggling.
They saved the baby with Dr. Asher’s assistance. Only the mother was gone. She died from whatever she was exposed to in the air. The same thing that put paramedic Novak at risk. Novak followed protocol. She cleaned off the blood. She washed out her eye with saline. It still might not be enough because no one has any idea what they were dealing with. The feds thought it was terrorism. They thought the flight had been targeted by a chemical weapon. It was just Upton that felt that theory was wrong.
Her gut was telling her something different. Her ex and former colleague was also back in town. Halstead was assisting her with the case. They believed Omar Bengoa accidentally released a poison. There was a man rooting around his remains at the morgue. He set fire to the place rather than risk being caught and he got away with the capsules. There were two capsules surgical implanted into Bengoa’s stomach. One ruptured during the flight. It killed pretty much everyone onboard. The second capsule didn’t rupture. And so that one was stolen.
Upton and Halstead lost the suspect. It happened right after she saw his unique gloves. They were skin tone with a sign on it. Dr. Lenox recognized it as Aepix Biomedical Technologies. They were exclusively their compression gloves. Meaning the company had records of everyone who bought it. He was transporting something dangerous and will probably go to ground now that he’s on the hook for two hundred homicides. It didn’t just affect the passengers. It also began affecting the first responders. The ones that breached the plane before they realized what they were dealing with.
Four firefighters were down. Dr. Lenox was asked to assess them. She said they couldn’t risk bringing them out of the truck without the hazmat team. That particular team has been busy since the flight landed in Chicago. They got the firefighters to the hospital. The hospital had to arrange things so carefully so that no one was at risk. Violet was fine. Dr. Asher was fine. It was Novak who began experiencing symptoms. She got blood in her eye and it was enough to infect her. She was down. And Severide was so depressed that he needed to take a walk.
Everyone stayed in the hospital’s waiting room. They were given optimistic news at first, but one of the firefighters named Macy took a turn for the worst. She had to be intubated to save her life. Cruz watched her foam at the mouth. He became worried for her. He was the senior firefighter that went on the plane. He felt it was his job to keep the others safe. Now, he’s in a bed. Capp was in a bed. Macy’s worst fear of being intubated had been realized. It was looking stark. It all came about because of Bengoa.
Bengoa was Halstead’s criminal informant. He worked as a drug mule. He was paid double the amount to carry something into Chicago and he never revealed to Halstead what it was because he himself didn’t know. He thought it was drugs. He didn’t know it was a brand new chemical weapon. The man behind this was very careful. He arranged for a mule. He rearranged for the capsule with the weapon to be surgically extracted at a veterinary clinic. They found the man he paid to remove the capsule.
They ended up saving his life when he tried to drive off. He crashed his car. He could’ve died in the fire if it hadn’t been for Upton and Halstead. They saved him in exchange for information. They wanted to know who paid him. He doesn’t know the guy’s name only he did see his face. He had scars all over his face. It made sense to Dr. Lenox. The compression gloves on top of the old scars could mean this man was in a fire. This fire happened a long time ago. It might even be connected to Sergeant Voight’s past.
The address was the Heart of the Chicago Fire. Their perp must’ve been a kid at the time. He heavily scared by that fire and it makes sense why now because Voight remembered the fire. It was an apartment building. He saved a kid at the time. The kid grew up to their terrorist. His name is Thomas Marr. His whole family died in the fire.
