Kelly Severide : Cruz. I'm relieving you.
Joe Cruz : Lieut...
Kelly Severide : Don't argue with me! I asked you a direct question last shift, and you lied to my face. You tried to do it again back at the scene. I've only got a four-man team, Cruz. Everybody's got to be on their game, and you aren't.

Matthew Casey : Hey, have you checked on Cruz?
Kelly Severide : No.
Stella Kidd : Ah, tight spaces seem to really be setting off his panic switch, huh?
Matthew Casey : Did he say what's giving him trouble?
Kelly Severide : I wasn't in the mood to talk. He lied to me, and he put a victim in jeopardy.
Stella Kidd : Maybe he thought he was getting better.
Matthew Casey : I did the same thing last year. Kept my head injuries secret longer than I should've. Ugh. I just wanted to be on shift, ignore the rest of it. That didn't work.
Kelly Severide : Well, you got by.
Matthew Casey : I had Sylvie. She was with me every step of the way. Only reason I stayed sane.
Stella Kidd : Maybe you should talk to him.
Kelly Severide : He's already talking to a CFD counselor. I made sure of that.
Matthew Casey : Good. You're his lieutenant. It wasn't the injury that almost got me. It was trying to get through it alone.

Kelly Severide : [timing Cruz] Better.
Joe Cruz : I'm out again.
Kelly Severide : You counting your breaths?
Joe Cruz : Yeah. Four-second intervals.
Kelly Severide : How's it feel?
Joe Cruz : Like stepping into your favorite pair of Air Jordans.
Kelly Severide : All right, good. Break's over.
[presses his stopwatch]
Kelly Severide : Go!
