Eamonn Walker played this scene beautifully. He worked through so many emotions in mere minutes. The other actors and writers obviously played a part in pulling this scene off, but Eamonn Walker really brought out Chief Boden's character in this scene.
What makes his performance even more brilliant is that he's a Brit using an American accent, and he can still portray those emotions. A lot of actors who do accents are somewhat limited in their range when doing an accent.
I remember watching this episode & when she ask Chief Boden if he remembered her, I was like “What? Who is she?” then when she proceeds to tell him & his reply “I always wondered what happened to you”, the waterworks started. This was such a great scene.
This one's important chief. The chief's reaction when he realized who she was. You have made this chief a very happy man. Even tho it's tv, still ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS. coming from a former fire &rescue voluntèr.
You no good sum batches got me crying over hear. This is an amazingly written seen beautifully. And altho I am a staunch supporter of the american Firemen Mr. Walker played this beautifully. Seriously touched this old writers heart.
I keep watching this episode thinking one day I won’t tear anymore after I watched it many times but I still do! Charlotte was perfect and chief Boden was excellent!
Reminds me of the story of Michael Patterson. A retired NJ State Trooper, Matthew Bailey, got pulled over by young State Trooper Patterson. They got to talking and figured out they were from the same town. During the course of the conversation, Bailey recounted a story of helping to deliver a baby while on duty. Was the first baby he had delivered. Turned out that Officer Patterson was that baby. A chance encounter that ended in a friendship.
It's episodes like this one that makes CHICAGO FIRE the one program that I always do my best to never miss. I love this show simply because all the regulars on it, including the writers, crew and everyone involved " SELL IT". They make it totally believable every time. This program will rank among my all time favorites, right along side Yellowstone, Sons of Anarchy, Blue Bloods and a few others but for the last few years that I couldn't afford cable tv, Chicago Fire is at the top and nothing could beat that anytime soon. I'd love to see the station that they use and shoot those parts of the show, meet all the actors or maybe get a walk on part for a show or two. That would be a major item on my bucket list to scratch off before my time here is up. Either way, it's still my favorite.
This is the first time I have seen the whole scene, and as hard as it hit me in the feels before once I got to see the whole I am not ashamed to say it turned this grumpy old troll into a bit of a blubbering mess. Outstanding! And thank you, for making my day.
You could feel the emotion through the screen when this happened. As a former volunteer fireman myself, I can honestly say that there is no other feeling in the world like being able to help somebody in a moment of need or when they are injured or whatever the case may be. You work long shifts and you just hope that at the end of the day that what you did for that person was enough and that they’ll be OK. Granted we never had a baby left on the doorstep of our fire station but every once in a while, we would have somebody come to the fire station looking to thank us, and although we don’t expect gratitude for what we’ve done, it does make our day a little bit better when we meet somebody who pulled through because of our efforts. I can understand completely the range of emotions that chief Boden went through here.
Kindness is such a beautiful thing isn't it? Boden took the little girl in. And in a way was indirectly responsible for giving her a good life. Firehouses are one of the places orphaned kids are supposed to left at aren't they? What are the other places please?
In my country, we have what we call "Life Boxes". They are like a window that can be opened from the outside. Inside there is a child's cradle where a baby is placed. It is warm, it is safe and the staff gets a warning. The medics immediately examine the child, the child is fed, etc. Parents who leave their child in this place are not penalised.
Redmond, the first answer is the most accurate way to find out. but, as you and the second comment said ... firehouses and hospitals/emergency clinics are almost always gonna be "safe haven" designated locations.
Some Arizona firehouses have 24-hour No Question Asked baby drop-off locations. if I remember correctly we’ve had them for more than 20+ years but the 1st and only baby turned in happened just a few years ago. The firefighter who found the baby was adopted by the firefighter & his wife.
Every time I watch this it reminds me of a young lady I ran into years ago. She had overdosed and we wanted to get her seen. She at the time stated it was accidental so we could not really do much but I spoke with her for almost an hour trying to convince her to be seen. A few years later I saw her again and she asked if I remembered her which at the time I did not. She told me she was that girl who overdosed and when she went home she sat and thought about our conversation. She told me she did not have a family that was close so she never had a male figure actually care enough to want to help her but respect her enough to not force her to do anything. She said that it was the first time she ever looked at a man as a father figure and she cried all night because she knew that there was a life for her. I asked her how she was and she introduced me to her kids. She said had I not have shown her that she was worthy of being loved as a human and not for pleasure she may not have been here today and had those kids. The job has it tough times and it’s hard times but knowing you changed just one life makes all the bad worth while to see one good.
That's fantastic. To have both done something so life-changing for someone and to then hear about what you did from that person must have been so gratifying.
If an actor can make you cry just by his mimic, he is 100% amazing! HIs look hits so deep. For Chicago fire he is life Mark Harmon for NCIS. It is not the same show without him being arround every day.
That was an amazing scene there she made his day better and I love how Chief Boden said thank you you have made this Chief a happy Chief that was an emotional scene right there and a happy scene and he needed that it really made his day so bright I think it was like an Angel just came and sat down on his shoulder just than
Yes this was the dramatic portrayal of a day in the life. But it signifies one of life true heroes. Fire fighters. They do more than just fight fires. They save lives. In this case, they make lives. And THAT is heroic! 💯RESPECT💯
This man has been one of the most underrated actors since Oz. He hasn't lost one step.
Eamonn Walker is a great actor. I have a funny feeling he is British.
@@TheDarkhorse1947and you’re right on that.
This episode got me
That is Kareem 😂
@@TheDarkhorse1947 marigold has gone far...
I remember this episode. Boden was having a really bad day and this made the day better.
Just a day? I'd say that'd at LEAST make my month
Eeyup.
I saw it for the first time a few weeks ago on Fox a rerun. Love that moment
More like the rest of his life@JustAJinx-ci6hg
They young woman firefighter ..is there a reason she is looking off a bit?
This one still gets me teary eyed.
Chief Boden is one of the my absolute favourite characters on TV.
He's going to be MISSED
Chicago Fire want be the same without Eamonn Walker almost all the original cast have left the series just like my other favorite show Chicago PD
I think something in my eyes and my eyes are getting watery.
Every time I see this clip I cry
Me too
Eamonn Walker played this scene beautifully. He worked through so many emotions in mere minutes. The other actors and writers obviously played a part in pulling this scene off, but Eamonn Walker really brought out Chief Boden's character in this scene.
He's very good
How his face and stress just melted when he realized who she was. Like all the stress of his office just fell off even for just that brief moment
Por favor hagan la traducción al Español
@@chewy739Charlotte was a living, breathing, thriving example of why they do what they do.
What makes his performance even more brilliant is that he's a Brit using an American accent, and he can still portray those emotions. A lot of actors who do accents are somewhat limited in their range when doing an accent.
Dang. Teared all up. My daughter and son in law are adopting a little girl who was abandoned too. So precious! What a privilege to be a "Papa" again.
Congrats to you, sir.
Seconded.
Congratulations
That’s dope man. Wish them happiness.
AWESOME.🎉🎉🎉🎉
Chief Boden definitely needed this cheer-me-up after the crap storm of that day.
And then he got some ice cream and bagels 🥯
I remember watching this episode & when she ask Chief Boden if he remembered her, I was like “What? Who is she?” then when she proceeds to tell him & his reply “I always wondered what happened to you”, the waterworks started. This was such a great scene.
The way his face just transforms and the stress melts off. Idk who needed this more. Chief or the little girl
Both
One of the best scenes ever to play on TV, I remember this episode. The look on Boden's face is priceless after he learns who she is.
What episode is it
@@Tictac234jeff Season 1, Episode 22.
I remember watching this episode and I has tears rolling down my face. Wow Boden such a great human being and would be a great boss to have.
Its amazing that 'Boden' is actually a British actor. :)
This one's important chief. The chief's reaction when he realized who she was. You have made this chief a very happy man. Even tho it's tv, still ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS. coming from a former fire &rescue voluntèr.
Involuntary tears watching this. What a scene. What fine acting!
In real life or a movie, very little will impact you more than a simple "thank you" from an innocent child's voice.
You no good sum batches got me crying over hear. This is an amazingly written seen beautifully. And altho I am a staunch supporter of the american Firemen Mr. Walker played this beautifully. Seriously touched this old writers heart.
The look in Herman's face, even Boden knew something was up.
I keep watching this episode thinking one day I won’t tear anymore after I watched it many times but I still do! Charlotte was perfect and chief Boden was excellent!
This is one of hundreds of millions of acts of humanity carried out by our emergency services every day. Long may this great work continue.
Boden always brings so much emotional power to his parts in the show you feel everything he says everytime
2:12 "Look at you.." Ahh. That always gets me. So much emotion in those 3 words
Same, I don't think I can get through this whole video without tearing up.
He is the most under rated actor ever. He is a beast on the screen. Got me teary eyes
I AM 58 OUT OF ALL THE YEARS OF WATCHING TELEVISION THIS SCENE HERE BRINGS TEARS EVERYTIME I C IT
THE BEST SCENE EVER HEART WARMING
JOB WELL DONE
I never get tired of watching this.
On this job the bad stuff weighs you down quick. But it takes just one good moment like this to shatter on this and help you breath again.
Amen to that
They picked the perfect girl for this part as Charlotte. Just adorable.
Great smile on her, with eyes full of gratitude and life.
And she played it perfectly. Just the right amount of weight, not overdoing it.
Bro, whos slicing onions in a moment like this
I can watch this a thousand times and still get choked up every time. So well done!
I haven’t watched this show but have seen this clip on UA-cam many times and it always hits the spot.

Dang I hate when I watch shows like this and dust gets in my eyes making them water.
This is why I love this show. It always brings out the beat in people
Best?😂

Eamon Walker is such an intense actor. LOVED him in "Cadillac Records" as THE Howlin Wolf.
I'm over here at work watching this and try so hard not to cry 😢😢😢
Everytime I see this my eyes start watering.
This is why I have always loved this profession.
This is one of my favorite scene in that TV show because it is so beautiful and touching
Kindness is such a beautiful thing isn't it? Boden took the little girl in. And in a way was indirectly responsible for giving her a good life. Firehouses are one of the places orphaned kids are supposed to left at aren't they? What are the other places please?
I think it depends on the state you live in, but if you google your state and the Safe Haven Laws that would have the most accurate answer
Hospitals and emergency clinics
In my country, we have what we call "Life Boxes". They are like a window that can be opened from the outside. Inside there is a child's cradle where a baby is placed. It is warm, it is safe and the staff gets a warning. The medics immediately examine the child, the child is fed, etc. Parents who leave their child in this place are not penalised.

Scene that could make a grown man cry
There is a only a few times Boden been emotional and this is one of them.
Damn.. got something in my eye. Very beautiful scene.
After seeing this beautiful scene, I'm silently singing, "I wish it would rain!"
Even though the rest of his day had been crap, Boden could sleep well tonight, knowing that he had honestly made a difference in his life.
He’s been a underrated actor for years
Underrated=priceless gems.
I've got something in my eyes
Such a beautiful story
Merci beaucoup pour l'histoire de Chicago Fire Chief meets with orphan girl film❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Millions of blessings,
Esther St Juste
Brilliant and touching meeting years later

So shines a good deed in a weary world.
This scene makes me cry everytime! I know every line that's coming, but the tears flow!
Cant believe how far he came from Marigold in Sickness and in Health. What an actor
Dang invisible ninjas slicing onions up in here…
This one's important Chief
I teared up like he did, no tears. ❤
That was very moving indeed. I'm not crying, I'm sobbing..

As a veteran from a combat unit this had me teary eye
This is a heart warming powerful scenes ❤❤❤.. brought tears to my eyes and heart.
Eamonn Walker is a beast, this dude is grossly underrated. He’s phenomenal in everything he’s in
Eamonn Walker is an intense, talented actor. If he is in it, I am watching.
He’s the perfect role for this show. Great actor
If an actor can make you cry just by his mimic, he is 100% amazing! HIs look hits so deep. For Chicago fire he is life Mark Harmon for NCIS. It is not the same show without him being arround every day.
BEST Scene Ever!!!!!!!!!
what an amazing scene. just saw this clip randomly and I have watched it a lot already. now I remember him from OZ. great actor.
aww man this was heartwarming! You never know how blessing someone with good deeds can come back to you when you leas expect it
