Linda Powell: Ingrid Mills

Quotes 

• Peter Mills : [about a dismembered girl he saw in a train tunnel]  I can't get it out of my head. It's just, I can't get it out of my head.

  Ingrid Mills : There was a time when your father couldn't either. And his way of fixing it was to just shove it down. And then that turned into shutting off a part of himself. It's the part that makes us human.

  Peter Mills : Then what do I do?

  Ingrid Mills : Walk away. You come back to the restaurant. I don't want you to become a block of ice. I mean, having seen that in your father, believe me, you don't want that for yourself. It's not who you are. Hmm? Just... come home.

• Kelly Severide : Hey, Mrs. Mills.

  Ingrid Mills : Hello, Kelly. Chief Boden's office is this way?

  Kelly Severide : Yeah. How's Peter doing?

  Ingrid Mills : He saw a girl cut to pieces today. I believe you all did. How are *you* doing?

• Wallace Boden : Ingrid, uh... it's been a long time.

  Ingrid Mills : Yes, it has.

  Wallace Boden : Uh, please, have a seat.

  Ingrid Mills : No, I won't be long. Peter's not like Henry.

  Wallace Boden : No one expects him to be.

  Ingrid Mills : He does. And Peter's got this whole idea of living up to his father's memory. That is not the life I want for him. Peter's not coming back to 51.

  Wallace Boden : If that's what he decides... I'll abide by it. You have my word.

  Ingrid Mills : You're not hearing me. Peter's time as a candidate... is done. I'm asking you to respect my wishes. Now you owe me that at least.
