Listen, we... [writes something on a post-it note and sticks it to his coffee mug] We're thinking about putting together a task force on how to make coffee.

Maybe you can help us arrange a press conference for that.

I got you started. Cream, two sugars. It's real simple.

I am not gonna make you coffee. [to Halstead] Come on, what about you?

Halstead

[laughs] I wasn't going to say anything. And then Lang called and he said you left your pant suit at the headquarters.

Halstead

I'm not really a sneak-around- behind-dad's-back kind of guy.

Says the guy that works undercover.

Halstead

[laughs] Let's just come clean. Voight will respect us more if we look him in the eye.

Halstead

Couldn't sleep the other night. So I was up watching TV, and I saw this doctor talking about commitment phobia. He was saying it had to do with family patterns and survival instincts. I'm just saying, you know, Bunny's been married, what, five times?

Don't try to psychoanalyze me, Jay. Have you given any more thought to whether or not we should tell Voight?

Halstead

No, we're not telling Voight.

He pardoned Burgess and Ruzek.

Halstead

Burgess was shot. Her and Ruzek are an exception to the rule. Do you want to take a bullet so that Voight will give his blessing?

I'd take a bullet just to come over to your house tonight. [raises eyebrows]

Halstead

[grins] What part of your body would you sacrifice?

Uh Shoulder? Fleshy part of the thigh.

Halstead

Now I feel special.

You should.

[Halstead is telling Lindsay about his grandfather's log cabin in rural northern Wisconsin]

This is in Wisconsin?

Halstead

Yeah. Great fishing. Musky. Largemouth.

Mosquitoes? Like birds.

Halstead

But it's a great place to retire.

I'm not living in Northern Wisconsin.

Halstead

[grins teasingly] I don't remember asking you.

Antonio, would you ever live in Northern Wisconsin?

Yeah. Snowmobiling, ice fishing, meth labs. It's paradise.

Halstead

You're not helping.

[The team is going through taser recertification with Jenkins and are to be tasered as part of the process.]

Halstead

[laughs as Ruzek is being tasered] That was worth the price of admission.

JJenkins

[looks at Halstead] You're next. [Halstead's smile disappears]

[goads Halstead] Come on, man.

I volunteer to tase him.

Halstead

Okay, I mean, this doesn't seem, like, official enough.

Where do you want it? [smirks] S, P, A or G?

Halstead

Shoulders.

G!

[laughs] G!

[Lindsay looks back triumphantly at Halstead]

Halstead

[glares at Lindsay] Don't you dare.

Roll call, chain of command, it's almost like being back in fatigues, you know. I didn't think I'd miss it, but I do. I like the the structure. I need this.

Halstead

Don't screw it up.

I won't. Hey, I want to let you know that I really appreciate you doing this for me.

Halstead

You were there for me, right?

Yeah. Hey, you know what's crazy? Is that you and I we went through the exact same thing that day, and I've been I've been bouncing around ever since, and you've got the the world by the tail.

Halstead

Don't be so sure.

Yeah. So what's going on? You, uh you seeing somebody?

Halstead

I guess I was for a minute.

Hey, Chuckles.

Halstead

Detective Chuckles, if you don't mind.

Little donnybrook down at Kitty O'Shea's. Officer on the scene wanted to know if you'd stop by.

Halstead

To do what, show him how to do his job?

No, keep your brother from getting locked up.

So which one is she?

HHalstead

Don't.

No, just nod your head. I mean, they're both hot. Or is it that desk sergeant from downstairs?

HHalstead

Yes, we're on the backburner right now.

Jay Halstead

You should have been here. Mom was dying, you were off partying.

You left.

Jay

I left to fight a war. I came home.

I saw Dad. He, uh, said you haven't spoken in a year.

Jay

Probably two.

Halstead

I still can't believe you let me drive.

It's my gift. [pauses] Well, it's from Nadia. I told her how you said you feel like a house husband riding shotgun all the time. [reminisces] And she got all righteous and she goes, "Erin, you need to let him drive a little."

We're celebrating.

Halstead

What are we celebrating?

Hank is letting me move back into my apartment. He trusts me.

Halstead

Wow, that's huge.

Yeah. I think he just wants his bathroom back but whatever.

Halstead

Well, you can do some serious damage in a bathroom. [Lindsay slaps his arm in mock anger] What?? [chuckles] I just meant you're messy. You're a messy person. Seriously though, this is good. I was worried that hole you were digging was gonna be too deep.

I was lucky I had a lot of people reaching in to pull me out.
