Things have been uncomfortable between us for a while. Since I came out, and when I joined APD. He didn't want you to be a cop? I think he thought that I was too soft. Maybe he's right. He's not. There should be a heart behind that shield. You've got a good one.

No one's guaranteed anything. That's why you make a will. It's not to prepare for the end, because that comes no matter what we do, it's so the moment is taken care of. So we can live in this one. Cause that's all any of us have.

Hey, TK. It's me. I've been here for a while now. I don't even know if you want that, but...I guess you're not in any position to walk out this time. And even if you can't hear it, Mom's right. I just need to say it. I'm so mad at you right now. And the worst part about this is, if this is goodbye, I can't even hold your hand. Can't run my fingers through your hair, or kiss your head. Not without it feeling like it's some kind of violation.

Maybe—maybe you just take me that far? You could check me in? My sweet boy. I've traveled with you as far as I can. The next steps you take are yours. I don't know if I could do it without you. You can. You are stronger than you know. I'll always be with you.

'Cause today at that intersection, when that woman was dying, I would have given her everything I had to save her. And I did give her everything I had. But it wasn't enough. Until you showed up. All you guys. And I knew in that instant that not only was she gonna be okay, I was gonna be okay, too, because this is what I wanna do for the rest of my life. And at least for now, this is where I wanna do it. With you guys, so... I choose this family. This is...this is where I belong.

You do have a problem. My wife, Grace, is the best person I've known. Her life's work is saving lives. Her life's work is saving people. If she saved one life per shift, and that's conservative, then by my estimation she's saved 2,250 lives. She saved 2,251 if you wanna count me. Which is a life she's saved numerable times.

You and Judd are a lot alike. You know that saving people is like oxygen to him. And he's suffocating. Yeah, well, he needs to take a little time to take care of himself before he can take care of anybody else. I'm not asking you to throw him back into the action right away, Captain, I know he's not ready for that. So what are you asking me? What I'm asking is that you do what you do best. I'm asking you to save him. Please.

You haven't lost me yet. Yeah, but I could! Yes, you could. You could. To cancer. On a call. I could be hit by a truck. There's no guarantees. Not for anybody. This dog isn't a symbol of my death, it's an affirmation of my life. It's okay to love him even though you might lose him.
