Taylor Kinney: Kelly Severide

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Kelly Severide : Benny was obsessed with this one arsonist from back in the day. He called him his white whale. The guy was responsible for at least eight fires between 2002 and 2004. Killed two people, injured another six. They never got an ID on the suspect. The only description came from one of the burn victims, who got a passing look at a 30-ish male, about six feet, two bills. Then all of a sudden, the fires stopped, trail went cold, until now.

  Matthew Casey : What makes you think he's responsible for the salon fire?

  Wallace Boden : Identical timing device, same kind of kitchen timer jury-rigged in the exact same way.

  Kelly Severide : And he always disables the electric meter during a break-in.

  Matthew Casey : How do you explain the 15-year gap?

  Kelly Severide : I can't, but the notes in Benny's book tell me that this is the same guy.

  Wallace Boden : Could be a copycat.

  Kelly Severide : Except that a lot of the details weren't publicized.

  Matthew Casey : Why didn't you give OFI the notebook along with the case file?

  Matthew Casey : I wanted to make a copy of it first, thumb through it, see if I can figure this guy out. I'll take a copy to Hubble today.

  Wallace Boden : Messenger it and stay out of Hubble's hair. It's about time OFI handled this. You got a job here to do. Come on.

  Matthew Casey : What do you think?

  Wallace Boden : I'll be curious to hear what Hubble makes of it all.
