All specialized units are being assigned to federal agents. FBI oversight.

Excuse me?

Officially, he's there to determine if intelligence is an efficient use of

resources. Chief, I'm not having an FBI agent in my bullpen.

I'm pregnant.

I hate Miami, and I miss you.

You stick around in Chicago, we get to know each other better, and we take our

time. Are you serious? What are you playing? Is the baby coming?

Kev, go!

Go! You want to ride?

I got it.

Take your time. I'm on my way.

Good luck.

Welcome to the world, Malcolm Madwater.

Look at your mama.

She's amazing.

Ain't she amazing? She did it. Yeah.

Look at that little hat.

Tiny little fingers. I see you, boy. It's perfect little fingers.

Mm-hmm.

Hey,

Spielberg. Hmm?

What? I'm gonna go back to sleep.

Mama's gonna set it up. Sounds good.

You got him? Yeah, I got him. Okay.

You should do a skin contact.

Get you some sleep.

Bye, handsome.

It's okay. Your daddy got you. It's okay.

Let your mama go to sleep. Your daddy got you. It's okay.

Gracie downstairs says she'll swing by if you need anything

Joy and my dad, they still out of town.

This new router's keeping my old man down south. It's okay. It's okay.

Are you sure?

Baby's been fussy all night.

I don't have to go back after this postponement. Hey, hey, anxious boy.

You are radiating a lot of nerves, okay?

We are gonna be okay.

It's almost like we have some sort of bond.

Like we're mother and son.

I know.

All right, go to work.

Make us proud.

And you talk to Voight like you want to.

We'll be all right.

Okay? See?

We'll be all right.

Okay.

Bye,

Papa. Bye.

Daddy going to work.

Oh, Big Daddy Kevin's landing.

I don't like that coming out of your mouth.

Hey, listen, this is a gift from Mac. It's ugly as hell, but she said Malcolm

has to have it.

Yo, I got more food in the freezer for my mom. Thank you. Thank you miss

Catalina. Hey, welcome back Thank you Yes, Charles Boyden FBI field

office in Chicago So cute well then just let

me know what you can't find thanks Charlie so far all he's done is taking

our file says he's getting the lay of the land. It can't be good

I'm her mom and baby.

Really good.

How about you? Really good. Good.

I actually wanted to talk to you about something.

Have a seat.

Uh, you know, having a son makes you think. Makes you want to provide.

Of course.

It's been years since the blue wall screwed me, and I still can't get

promoted with this brick on my name.

If there's anything we can do, I figure now would be the time.

Cap short of regime change.

I don't think there's much I can do.

Okay?

I mean, I will try again.

Appreciate that.

Uh-uh.

I got another burglar in Wicker Park. That's the third this week.

You talking about that crew that's been hitting the video game machines?

Yeah. Why are we taking that?

Chief says State Gaming Board needs it to go away.

What do you got?

Drove by on morning shift, saw the forced entry in the back, picture the

previous two burglars.

Place has already been cleared.

Okay, good. Keep knocking and talking.

10-4, search.

Dash cartridges are gone.

Jacked with brute force, sledgehammer, crowbar.

What'd you think, about four or five down?

Unless they were fat, sure.

No camps.

I'm gonna go check the forced entry.

Explain to me.

How'd you clear the building but you missed the body?

I don't know, sir.

It was locked. I didn't see the light on and I'm... Well, next time you will.

Because next time we're going to clear it twice.

Search once for people, search again.

Copy?

Copy. Clear twice, one search for people, then a search again.

That's right.

Always twice.

Got an ID?

Face isn't recognizable, but it's Claudia Pullman.

Owner said she's the manager and was working here last night. She was

attacked inside.

She died trying to escape.

The offender, he must have used a blunt force object. She's got some real wide

gashes here. Probably whatever they use for the gaming machines.

She had a phone beneath her.

I have to try to call 911 before she died. We should run that.

Run it all.

Three burglars in a week, all the same M.O., but we got nothing on the

previous. Zero DNA, zero footage.

Don't even have a head count on the crew. We do have one pothead.

Alexis' SUV was spotted fleeing the bar at 2.21 a.m. I already got a bolo out.

Victim's been positively ID'd by her parents. She has Claudia Pullman.

23 years old, Chicago-born and bred. Just got engaged last month. We got an

email from the OCD crime lab. They recovered something out of Claudia's

phone. I'm on it.

She recorded a video at 2.11 a.m.

some more flatbreads. There are seven left.

I'm gonna... Hey, I didn't realize you were coming.

What are you... No!

What are you doing?

Stop it.

Jesus.

Definitely two offenders.

At the beginning of the video, she says, didn't realize you were coming.

We can use that.

Run all employees.

Anyone with access to that bar plus the previous two, that's our nexus.

Hey.

He still crying?

Did you try to really tight swaddle?

Well, no, I was just checking on you while I miss you.

Yeah, it's a really tough case. Yeah.

We got a hit on the Lexus SUV that fled the scene. It's in Pilsen.

Got to go.

Love you.

Middle of the block, vehicle's empty.

The number was obscured.

You know how long he's been sitting there?

No, but tailpipe had condensation when I walked by.

Hasn't been here long.

Nice. You good to keep sitting on it? Yeah.

I'll go east, Adam north, Kev.

Yeah, I got it.

I'm on Adams. I just heard a scream for help.

I just heard two screams for help coming from 26th Street towards Western. I'm

headed that way. All right, I'm headed towards you. 10-76.

Okay, I got forced entry on the door on the side street of 26th and Western. All

right, I'll call it in.

50-21, any possible burglary in progress?

26th and Western. Playing close officer on scene. Roll me some cards.

Calls bona fide burglary in progress.

I got you. I got you.

Okay? I got you.

Okay. Okay.

Let's hold tight, okay?

One, two...

Get on the ground. Please help me. Please help me.

Stop.

Stop moving. Do not.

5021 David, offenders are fleeing westbound. I need you to get some cars

on them right now and roll me a damn ambo.

Copy, 5021.

Real strange. Hey, hold up.

Do you see that? His pants.

They look like coveralls, some kind of work pant.

Zoom in.

Yeah, it looks like paint. Run it. Run all construction service jobs against

our list of employees.

Excuse me.

Uh, sorry.

Um... Oh,

sorry. Thank you. Thank you so much. You can just put it on top.

Or you can carry it.

Hands outside of the vehicle. Let me see you. Oh, Ron. Hurry up!

Did you cry a lot?

No, I don't know. I just... Come on.

Stop,

please, please, stop, please. I'm sorry, Vinny.

Calm down.

Rose, you good?

Yeah, I'm good.

What? Your buddy isn't talking, but we pretty much get the picture.

You were turning tricks in exchange for dope.

No.

No, no, no. It wasn't for dope. It was just...

Please.

I can't do time right now. I can't. I'll do anything. Please.

Okay. All right. Well, then explain this.

What the hell is that? You know what the hell that is.

No, what? I don't know what that is. Why are you showing me that? Four robberies,

first two pretty cut and dry, but the third, your partner decided he was a

professional. Didn't want to leave any witnesses behind, right?

No witnesses?

You think I had something to do with that?

That? Murder?

You need the money. You want dope? No. You probably didn't want anybody to get

hurt, but that's why you came back, right?

Came back? I don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah, I need a lot of money.

Real bad.

But no, no, no, I wouldn't do that.

Brenna, you worked at this bar for two months.

And you worked at a painting company. You fit our stats to a T. Oh, no.

What a bar.

Wicker? My dad got me that job and I got fired so fast.

Same with that paint gig.

Look, guys, I know what I am.

Okay? I'm down bad. I know that.

I don't want to be, but... I didn't do this.

I would never do this.

Same the J or could be a damn good liar kids certainly desperate enough to be

this bold.

Okay copy that. Thank you He's got an alibi. That was vice. They've got

Brenner on cams at Branson Park training tricks all night Okay, so it was a good

lead hit the list again. Maybe we missed the Nexus Burgess I gotta check on

Tasha. I'll be back. Yeah He's my son It was brought in a couple hours ago. I'm

sorry, sir. Your son's an adult. I can't give you that information, but if you

need help, resources for your son, I can provide that.

Sarge, he's going to be released soon.

I'll talk to you in a minute.

Hey, how you doing?

What?

You're where?

Are you Kevin? Yes, ma'am. They're right in there.

Young man, my phone.

Come here. Hey.

He wouldn't stop, and then he got hot, and I just figured I'd bring him here.

I understand.

Did they say whether he had a fever?

Yeah, 102.

Oh. He was so mad, the doctor said he had an ear infection. I'm sorry.

I should have been here.

It's OK.

They already gave him some ear drops.

It's all right.

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

He's going to be just fine.

What are you doing, my guy?

He's fine with these antibiotics.

No irritation.

I'll get your script and discharge papers started.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

He looks just like you.

What?

What's wrong?

Nothing. Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm good.

Take him. Can you take him for me? Yes.

I just realized something.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Hey, how's the kiddo? Bruce, do we release Brendan Clark to his father yet?

Yeah, about an hour ago. Why, what's up? We need to run the dad now.

Brendan said that his dad got him that bar job and that paint job, too.

All right, well, that's something. Bruce, they look alike, Brendan and his

dad. They got the same stats, same build.

We're looking at the wrong family member.

Dad was right. Peter was good for it.

His record's clean.

But he's got money problems.

Yeah, he sold his car last month, took out a payday loan.

He's also working two jobs. One of them's a brand rep for a beer

distributor, which means he had access to all three bars in the second one.

Right company. Yeah.

Okay, what about our second offender?

I'm still running Peter's Associates. We got that Lexus SUV that was stolen from

Peter's block.

I'm dumping all cell towers in the area, too. We might get lucky.

ASA says we're good to go. Let's hit it.

How's Malcolm?

He's okay.

And the virus kicked in about four in the morning, so he got a couple hours of

sleep. That's good.

I don't think his mama got any.

It gets easier.

That feeling, you know, that you want to be there all the time, you want to be

here all the time, it lessens.

Maybe you'll get better at dealing with it.

I hope so.

You will.

Bed down.

Let's see if he's home. Kim, do a walk-by.

Hold up, Sarge. We got movement.

Target's exiting the house on foot.

Walking towards a vehicle.

White panel van.

24 George 5 Eddie Eddie.

Copy that. I got it. It's a work vehicle.

What do you want us to do? Want us to box him in? No. Let him go mobile.

We're not bringing him in without hard evidence.

Cav, Kim, Roos, you follow him, we'll hit the house.

Copy that.

They cover the back. Second offender can be inside.

Copy.

Chicago PD, search warrant.

Chicago PD, open up, search warrant.

Chicago PD, search warrant.

Chicago PD.

It's clear.

Clear. Kev.

Take him now. We got what we need.

Copy, Sarge. He just parked.

Ruth, copy you.

Peter Clark.

Yeah? You didn't come with us.

What? Why?

What's going on?

It's about my son again.

Something happened?

Yeah, but we need to talk to you.

What? What do you mean? You got anything on you that can hurt me? No, no. What's

going on?

I see it.

Peter, you meeting someone here today?

No.

Adam, take him. Let's go.

Got it.

Armed offender fleeing westbound on 84th, male, white, brown hoodie, Kevin.

Kevin, Kevin, Kevin.

Kevin, please.

Kevin, please, please, please, please.

Kevin.

Kevin.

I got you, boy.

Always, always.

I love you, man.

It didn't penetrate.

The vest took it.

Kevin, the vest took it. You need to breathe. You're going home tonight.

You're going home tonight.

You're not hit.

Come on, I know you're not violent.

You helped my partner save a man. You came back to help him lift that machine.

You are not violent.

So help us.

Help us, Peter. Who are you working with?

I'm not going to tell you that.

Peter, your partner beat a woman to death with a hammer.

He shot at police. Help us find him before he does that to somebody else. I

can't tell you anything.

All right?

All I can do now is just stay quiet. All you can do.

Really that's all you can do a woman is dead died alone trapped in the freezer.

I got shot my son Was almost left without a father and all you can do is

stay quiet

I'm

sorry man. He's saying that No one was ever meant to get her I don't care what

you meant What you got is a dead woman and shot police. She might think that

you're a decent, nonviolent man, but I do not. Neither does the law.

You're responsible for that woman's death.

You're responsible for this golf ball that's poking out my chest right now.

And I will do my best to make sure that you get the maximum penalty.

The only hope you got right now is cooperation.

Who was your partner?

I'm sorry.

I really am. I can't tell you that.

I won't.

Didn't say a damn word.

And nothing on the second offender yet. How is that even possible?

This man's not a career criminal. Less than two weeks ago, he didn't have a

spot on this record.

I got something, but it's not his partner.

Those burglaries, though, two in one day?

Desperate or stupid. Okay, so according to Peter's LKAs, he never lived with

Brendan when Brendan was a child. He was estranged from his son until about a

year ago, and that's when Peter's money trouble started.

He started taking out regular withdrawals of $500 from his ATM once a

month, random days, no pattern at all, really, except they were on days when he

was in contact with his son.

So what if the burglars are part of that?

Cash for his son.

It's a motive.

Hmm.

In the interview room, Brennan said he needed cash real bad.

Your son, Brennan?

Relax. Nothing happened to him yet.

You missed out on him growing up.

I don't know. Maybe you regretted that.

What are you doing?

You got in touch with him a year ago. Look, he doesn't have anything to do

with this. He wasn't the same son you remembered. Please, please, just leave

Brendan out of this, all right? That's why you started robbing, right?

No.

What I don't understand is the math.

You got two jobs. You sold everything you own.

Has to be more than enough money to support a dope app.

So my guess is Brendan's in a lot more trouble than we thought.

What'd he do? No. Who does he owe? No.

I'm not talking about this. Why not?

From where I'm sitting, a man like yourself doesn't do anything like this

unless you got a damn good reason.

Who does he owe, Peter?

How long you got to get it?

Your partner is not going to get Brendan what he needs because your partner

killed a woman.

Shot at police.

Cannot help your son.

But I will.

I actually can. I just need you to talk to me and tell me what's going on.

They're gonna kill him.

Tell me more.

I can help.

Talk to me.

All right.

He's still...

From a dealer, I don't know who, somewhere in Humboldt Park, but a lot of

drugs. He was supposed to earn the money back, but he didn't.

And they're going to make an example of him if he doesn't get the cash.

Please, man.

Okay, we're going to send patrol over there to him. We're going to pick him

up, put him in protective custody. All you got to do is keep on talking to me.

Tell me who you're working with, Peter.

Who's your partner?

He's an ex-con man, yeah, I Met a man an old job. All

right. He's a psycho.

He ain't right name Steve Steve

McRae Help my boy right you can help my son.

I didn't like to eat some patrols to his house. I'm gonna pick him up We're gonna

bring him there

Democratic Chicago people.

Hang on there.

Walk your head.

Rude. Yeah.

If I were you right now, I could probably catch Malcolm before he goes

down for us now.

Yeah, man, of course. Get out of here.

They got you.

922, can I get a mobile with 5021 David?

Affirmative, 922.

5021 David has some mobile traffic. You got it here?

922, go for 5021 David.

Sir, we're at the residence of Brennan Clark as requested.

We tried to make contact, failed. Was there a forced entry and back?

We entered and searched.

He's not here.

And we got blood, sir.

We knocked, nobody answered. Went around back and the door was open. Cleared the

house. I cleared a second time and that's when I saw the blood.

Good. Show us.

You can see that it was wiped, but not well.

There's also a cell phone we found, but it's off.

It's fresh.

He was taken.

Yeah, pull all cams. Talk to everyone on this block. Find out exactly who he

owes. Let's find Brennan fast.

All right, I got pods on either end of this street.

Run every car that enters an agency.

Nothing useful in Brennan's phone.

What about dealers?

Burgess is running them. We know the block where Brennan copped dope, so we

should be able to narrow. All right, I think I got one.

Keep your eye on the black Tahoe there.

It was 49 minutes ago.

Turns down Brennan's block and leaves six minutes later. Those plates, they

come back hot. That's got to be who took them.

Track them on our pod, see where they went.

Black Tahoe, enter that way. Everybody spread out.

I got him.

He's dead. Roll the crime lab. We were too late.

He's dead, isn't he?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

We found his body. He was shot.

I imagined this moment.

We picked up the dealer responsible.

His name is Carter Wilkin.

He was stealing the vehicle he used.

The weapon was still on him.

He's gone away for a long time.

It's all my fault. I should have done better by him.

Everyone warned me.

Didn't believe me.

It just didn't make sense back then.

What didn't make sense?

They said, don't blink.

Kids grow up when you're not looking.

I wasn't looking.

I wasn't there.

Now he's gone.

You look like you could use a drink. You talk to Peter?

If I have a drink, I'll fall asleep right in this chair.

Huh.

You said you wanted to see me?

Well, as soon as Sergeant Nolan retires, you're free to be promoted.

I have it on very good authority that Nolan will be putting in his papers by

the end of this month.

Bricks off your name, Kev.

Really? Really.

You're not as relieved as I thought you'd be. No.

I am.

I am.

Thank you.

And maybe what a promotion wasn't really what I was after.

Okay. So what are you really after?

I don't know.

A way to have everything.

Be good police, give back.

Be home.

Play with my son before he goes to sleep. Be home in time for dinner, you

know? Yeah, I get it.

In those early years with my son, those were the best years

of my life.

Yeah.

It's like we had him, and now all of a sudden I want something new.

I don't know.

Teach at the academy?

Well, you'd be damn good at that.

Matter of fact, I mean, I got a call last week looking for seasoned officers

to teach. I almost gave them your number.

Almost? What's that? I don't want to lose you.

The call came from Atlanta.

Pays good.

Real good.

You can take cases whenever you want.

Be home whenever you want.

No snow.

There are a lot of ways to be good police.

I think you...

You could have pretty much any way you want.

Kevin, you deserve that.

So does your son.

You all do.

I don't understand.

All I'm saying is, for the first time, I was out there.

I wish I was here.

I get that, but it will get easier, Kevin. No, I don't want that. I don't

want it to get easier over time.

Look, my dad's been on the road more and more, Jordan and Vanessa, never home.

We got aunties down south, your sister. We got family all over the place.

You know, we got opportunities in other places.

Atlanta.

But we decided on Chicago.

And I just moved back, Kevin.

That wasn't your plan.

No. It wasn't my plan.

What are you forgetting about this little newborn in your hands?

We just had a baby.

And look, Kevin.

I understand if you need to adjust.

Or if this is you adjusting. I get that.

No.

Remember that time you asked me what I want?

Yeah. I only got my hands for now.

I want us... I want us to build something together.

I want something new.

i hope you have something prepared so hey hey cut the music larry

all right all right um

and this man right here has without a doubt the prettiest smile in the 21st

district quite possibly all of cpd you all know what i'm talking about

Look at that. It's beautiful.

No, seriously, Kev, nobody deserves this happiness more than you.

And I know I can speak for everyone here when I tell you we are so proud of you.

So good. Get down.

Let the man speak, please. Oh, man.

Come on, Big Daddy.

I still don't like hearing that from your mouth.

Thank you. I think. I think.

I look around this room and the only word that comes to mind is gratitude.

Chicago Police Department will always be a part of my heart. You are all my

family.

For the past 14 years, the 21st District has been my home.

Well, raise a drink, because I went ahead and made a new family.

And it's time we find a new home

from the heart.

Thank you.
