Matthew Casey: Hey, Chief.
Wallace Boden: Hey. I read your shift report. You got a minute to talk about Gallo?
Matthew Casey: You didn't have to come looking for me, Chief. Four-word text would've covered it. "I told you so."
Wallace Boden: Well, there's more to it than that. Listen, I know that I was wary about the young man at first, but I have watched you take him under your wing. Casey, you found potential in him. I believe that under your command, he will live up to that potential.
Matthew Casey: So the fact that he defied an order and went freelancing doesn't bother you?
Wallace Boden: There is something you should know about Gallo, something that Chief Burkett, he shared with me. You know that fire he survived as a kid?
Matthew Casey: Uh-huh.
Wallace Boden: His family didn't make it out. He lost everyone.
Matthew Casey: Damn.
Wallace Boden: Now, I probably should've told you. Didn't feel like my story to tell.
Matthew Casey: His whole family?
Wallace Boden: Mother, father... little sister. Happened to Gallo around the same age as that little boy who lost his grandmother yesterday.
Matthew Casey: You think that's why he lost his head on that call?
Wallace Boden: It's a reasonable assumption.
Matthew Casey: Then he should've explained that. But he just stood there while I tore him a new one and didn't say a word. I need to know that he understands what went wrong. If he doesn't, how can I send Kidd or Mouch into danger with somebody who's hiding his Achilles heel?
Wallace Boden: I support you whatever you decide. But I wanted you to have all the facts.
