Chicago Fire (TV Series)

Let Him Die (2015)

Jesse Lee Soffer: Jay Halstead

Quotes 

• Jay Halstead : We have numerous witnesses saying they saw you make a serious threat against Peter Mills.

  Papa Lullo : My son was dead. I was upset.

  Jay Halstead : Yeah, that certainly squares with the eyewitness statements. "Mr. Lullo was livid. Full of rage. Frothing at the mouth."

  Papa Lullo : Look, I went over there and I apologized to Peter Mills, and he accepted my apology. He's a good kid.

  Jay Halstead : So you no longer blame Mills for the death of your son?

  Papa Lullo : I don't understand what's going on here. I thought you caught the men that took those paramedics.

  Jay Halstead : We caught two of them, yeah, so far.

  Papa Lullo : And you think it goes deeper.

  Jay Halstead : It always does, you know. It's like an iceberg.

  Papa Lullo : You know, I don't want to tell you how to do your job here, but shouldn't you be talking to guys you caught and find out what they know? They're keeping their mouths shut, aren't they?

• [first lines] 

  Matthew Casey : Halstead. Thanks for coming. Good to have someone we can trust on this.

  Jay Halstead : Absolutely. Still no word from your paramedics?

  Matthew Casey : No.

  Jay Halstead : Dumb question: Anybody try their cells?

  Matthew Casey : Yeah. No answer.

  Jay Halstead : All right, give me their cells. I'm gonna get an order and start pinging them.

  Matthew Casey : Right.

  Jay Halstead : Were they dispatched to this location?

  Matthew Casey : Yeah.

  Jay Halstead : This could've been a setup.

  Joe Cruz : Lullo's got to be behind this, right?

  Jay Halstead : Yeah, I think we got to start with that assumption. What the hell happened here?

• Joe Cruz : All we know is about six hours ago, cameras caught a black town car driving like crazy down Fillmore. They lost sight of it, so we're searching for it now.

  Jay Halstead : Whoa. What's this?

  Joe Cruz : Uh, hey, Otis, let me give you a call back, okay?

  [they see a wrecked black car] 

  Joe Cruz : Oh, damn!

  Jay Halstead : Hey, hey, hey. Shh. This is Detective Halstead of Intelligence. I need to run an Illinois passenger tag. 2-5-3-1-William-North-Sam. All right. Hey, what do you got?

  Joe Cruz : Nothing. Car's empty. Looks like everybody made it out.

  Jay Halstead : Thank you.

  [hangs up his phone] 

  Jay Halstead : The car was reported stolen yesterday.

  Joe Cruz : This happened hours ago. If Lullo's got them, they're dead.

  Jay Halstead : Don't assume anything.

  Joe Cruz : Where the hell have they been all this time?

• Peter Mills : What is going on in there? He's walking all over you.

  Jay Halstead : Maybe I should smack him around a little bit? Mills, he's here on his own volition. We don't have anything on him.

  Peter Mills : Those guys had a cell phone. They had to be calling somebody.

  Jay Halstead : Yeah, it was a pay-as-you-go. It was registered to Johnny Cash in the middle of the Indiana sand dunes.

  Peter Mills : If I could just talk to the older guy, Vic, the guy that we saved, I know...

  Jay Halstead : I already told you he refuses to see you. Now, if you visit that guy in the lock-up, he could get branded a snitch. A guy like that, he's gonna gladly do hard time before he rats out on someone of Lullo's stature.

  Peter Mills : So we can't do anything.

  Jay Halstead : We will handle it from here.
