APB (2016–2017): Season 1, Episode 2 - Personal Matters - full transcript
Gideon and Murphy run into a pharmacy robbery, where he's inspired for new tech; Murphy hears someone could take down Giedon's plans.
A maverick billionaire...
My name is Gideon Reeves.
I built an empire making
rockets, computers, robots...
Made over $100 billion.
Know how I did it?
I'm an engineer.
Touched by tragedy...
- The money!
- No!
My friend has been shot.
Where the hell are you people?!
Takes on the biggest
engineering challenge
of his career...
I want justice for
Elliot James Sully.
Give me the 13th
District to run.
A civilian can't take
over a police district.
They can, with a special
appointment from this committee.
To revolutionize a
police force...
Technology doesn't
solve cases, cops do.
You haven't met my technology.
Wow...
and save a city.
You guys are my partners.
We're gonna change the world.
Hi, I'm Gideon Reeves,
billionaire, inventor,
and new head of Chicago's
13th police district.
If you're seeing
this, you are one
of 378,000 people in this city
who've already downloaded
my new APB crime-fighting app.
Shortly after launch, we had
over 5,000 APB crime reports.
With a fancy bit of
computer engineering
and a little help from
my brilliant team,
we routed every one
of those calls
to the local 911 operators.
Not just the calls...
GPS info, video.
All kinds of good stuff.
You know what?
Rather than tell ya,
why don't I just show ya?
See, up until now, thanks to
short-sighted budget
cuts by the mayor,
criminals have had
such an easy time.
They've been, well,
robbing the candy store.
There you go, take that.
Good. Take that.
You get the big one.
We're reinventing policing,
and we're catching the bad guys.
Thanks to the hard work
of Chicago's finest,
we are about to take a
brand-new bite out of crime...
All in record time, I might add.
Hey, Murph.
Gideon, are you serious?
She's right, I
better wrap it up.
Here's the bottom line.
The mayor can talk all he wants
about Chicago's problems.
Thanks to the APB app...
I'm here to offer solutions.
And jelly beans.
I love jelly beans.
In the electronic
communication blast
through his popular APB app,
maverick billionaire
Gideon Reeves
- may have had some sweet...
- Just one moment.
To offer Chicago's crime-weary
citizens today...
Sorry. Can I help you?
Hello?
Give me the keys to the cabinet.
Now!
- All right, all right, just please...
- Let's go!
Don't do anyth... Oh!
Okay, I assume
everybody saw today's
little demonstration.
Yes, everybody catch that?
So here's the deal.
In my experience, the
best thing to do
with politicians is
to go around them.
You go through them, you
get bloody, and my suits
and your fancy new uniforms
are too nice for that.
Now, I want you all to know
these aren't just words.
I'm here to start a revolution.
And you know where that starts?
Not with the new
guns or the drones,
amazing though they may be.
It starts with all of you.
Murphy, could you...
As you probably heard,
I recently promoted
Murphy here to detective,
and yet... gonna blow
your minds here...
She's still in uniform, she's
not wearing a pantsuit,
sitting at a desk. Why?
Because studies have shown
it's the beat cops that
have the knowledge
and the relationships
to get crimes solved
and cases closed.
So why do we take
detectives off the street?
Well, now we don't.
And it doesn't stop there.
Paperwork? Guess what,
you don't do it anymore.
Mm-hmm. How about
evidence logging? No.
- There's a computerized...
- Gideon!
Oh, God, Ada, I'm kinda
revolutionizing here.
Uh, yeah, but I just
got an APB call.
There's a robbery at a pharmacy.
I-I called it out, but
this station is closer
than any of the
units on patrol...
I'm on it.
You know what? Me, too.
Disruption, guys.
You get it.
1309 squad responding.
Ooh!
1309, we've got three
separate APB reports.
Got a Caucasian male, masked,
approximately five eight.
I'm sending video now.
Copy.
You sure this a good
idea, you being here?
Come on, you heard
me back there.
This is what it's all about,
helping you be the best
cops that you can be...
Changing it up
Yeah, I don't know about that.
You're changing a
lot of tradition.
The cars, the
uniforms, the robots.
Maybe, you know,
learn a little bit
before you just bust things up.
That's what I'm
here for, to learn.
Yeah, but then you're gonna
change everything else, too.
Yeah. See, you're getting it.
1309, be advised.
Looks like the suspect
is on the move now,
- going westbound on Division.
- Copy that.
From your position, you should
be able to pick him up...
Oh!
I think we just did.
So how does this work, exactly?
We just stay on him
and set up a roadblock.
He's not too worried about
sticking to the road.
What the hell is he doing?
Son of a bitch!
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
We need an ambulance
at Rawlings Park.
- 11th and Dover.
- Copy.
Emily, baby, please...
Emily... Baby, please.
Emily!
Gideon, we're still combing
through all of the surveillance
video, looking for any sign
of our hit-and-run driver.
We have units out everywhere,
- but nothing's turned up yet.
- Well, keep looking.
- Every resource we have.
- Okay.
Mr. Reeves, sir, we are trying
to do everything we can,
but since Captain Hauser
tendered his resignation, we...
Wait, Hauser resigned?
Sorry, I thought you
would have heard
from the union by now.
Says he wouldn't
come to work anymore
until you've packed
your money bags
and moved back to Smartassville.
His words, sir, not mine.
That's cute. Uh, no,
I'm-I'm staying.
Fine by me,
but no one here has the stripes
to authorize overtime
and extra shifts.
In that case, congratulations.
I'm sorry?
I read your file. 30-plus
years on the force.
Everybody likes you.
Hell, I like you.
I don't even really know you.
So you are it, Captain Conrad.
Carry on.
He does that kind
of thing a lot.
Ma'am?
Uh...
how's she doing?
Doctors don't know.
She hasn't woke up
since the accident.
She's got swelling in her brain.
They say if it goes
down, she's got a shot.
But if it don't...
You got any kids?
I do.
A son. His name is Mateo.
Then you know how it is.
But you...
When we heard you were
coming into the 13th,
a lot of us thought,
maybe, finally
things were gonna get better.
I even started taking
Emily to the park.
You know how long it's been
since we felt safe doing that?
I guess we weren't as
safe as we thought.
Well, Detective, you
got your first case.
Gideon, are you sure?
I mean, this is a heater case
with a lot of eyes on it.
And we still haven't even
finished our conversation
from when you gave me the badge.
Cool. Let's finish it right now.
Someone just ran down a
little girl in my district.
So here's how we're
gonna do this.
Wear whatever you want.
Drive whatever you want.
Set your own hours, do
whatever the hell it takes,
just get the job done.
Yes, sir.
I went through the files,
and it turns out that the
guy we're looking for
isn't a beginner.
This is the fifth
pharmacy he's hit up
in the same general area.
Targets small shops, gets
into the narcotics lockup,
and rides out like
a bat out of hell.
- Any clue who he is?
- Unfortunately, no.
But he clearly knows
what he's doing.
We have some basic
weight and height info,
but no fingerprints and no face.
We sent a description of
the car to the APB app.
We've been getting
calls all morning.
It's a really common car,
so we've been getting
a lot of hits.
I narrowed the results by
eliminating cars registered
within a ten-mile
radius of the robbery.
Well, he obviously is not
registering his
getaway car, right?
- Yeah, I'd say that's a safe bet.
- Better...
but still nothing to
nail anyone specific.
Actually, I can help with that.
We got a report that the
gunman tossed his mask
on the way out of the pharmacy.
Brandt and Goss managed
to recover it.
DNA.
Even better.
Here, Zingo. Here, boy.
Sniff, yeah, there you go.
Good boy, good boy, good boy.
Come on.
We should get him
some water soon.
We got him water,
like, a block ago.
He's an energetic breed.
He needs hydration.
Seriously, man? Oh, so
you're, like, the expert.
I trained with dogs in the
army for three years.
It's the only thing
that kept me sane.
I know when a dog's thirsty.
You're still thirsty, ain't you, boy?
And what about me?
Every time we're on
patrol, you act like
I'm torturing you when
I get an iced tea.
"Oh, you gotta be kiddin' me."
- That's different!
- How is is different?
Because you're
addicted to iced tea.
It's about feeding your
sick need for caffeine.
Also, Zingo? He can
pee on a tree.
He doesn't gotta drive
around for 40 minutes
lookin' for a clean bathroom.
Do you, boy?
- Aw.
- Okay,
this is the third
location the APB app
has got for our getaway car.
Are you sure that the
dog is up for this?
You're just disappointed
'cause it's not a robot.
Trust me, these dogs
know what they're doing.
It's possible to love
robots and dogs, you know.
You ever watch The Jetsons?
The what?
Okay,
here's the address.
Sending the location now.
Squad, 1305,
copy that.
Who lives there?
Who doesn't, more like it.
It's a mope crash pad.
It's one of those places
that couldn't make
it as a crackhouse.
Easy, boy.
He got something?
Yeah. Yeah, I think he does.
Go, go!
Come on, Zingo!
That's the car.
That's the car from the robbery.
The son of a bitch
set it on fire.
Zingo, no! Zingo!
Brandt!
Zingo, no! Zingo!
Ugh!
Oh, no! Oh, no!
Oh, no, Zingo!
Oh, no, no, no.
All right. Zingo's hurt!
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no, okay, boy.
- Are you okay?
Is he, uh...?
I don't know.
1305. What's your status?
Brandt, are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine! Get help!
1305. Emergency, located
offending vehicle
at 567 Elm Street.
Car is on fire, send CFD...
and we're gonna
need an ambulance.
You'll be okay. All right.
Just go ahead and put
that up on the lift.
Hey.
Am I interrupting?
No, come on in.
I'm at a dead end here.
Me, too. Does yours
have to do with
the theoretical and
technical limitations
of hyperspectral imaging?
No.
Well, let's go with
yours first, then.
We searched the entire house.
Looks like the suspect
never even stayed there.
I mean, he ditched the car in
the back and just lit it up.
Uh, yeah, he certainly did.
Ada says the car was
stolen a month ago.
Uh, she didn't get
anything there.
Uh, found some custom
parts in the engine...
There's a nitrous oxide system
and a flashy air intake.
So I'm trying to
pull serial numbers,
but whatever the
fire didn't destroy
was already filed off.
Wait, these are recent mods?
Like, they were just
put in the car?
Yeah, there's less carbonized
grease on new stuff.
Maybe I should order a
scanning electron microscope.
Hang on, Gideon. I
might have an idea.
I've been chasing these racers
in the 13th for ten years.
There's only like four
places in this district
that sell stuff like that,
and only one that would
actually work on a stolen car.
Grab that stuff. We got a
garage to go check out.
You know all these cruisers
have stereos, right?
We should have some
detecting music.
- Detecting music?
- Yeah.
You had your little detective
moment back there,
and now we're gonna go and
talk to a bad guy, so,
do you who Dime
Store Darlings are?
No.
Okay, look, when we get there,
I'm gonna go inside and
you're gonna stay in the car.
Once everything's settled,
I'll come back and get you.
Settled?
That doesn't like much fun.
Yeah, well, you're not
on a field trip, Gideon.
We're on a trip,
we're in the field.
No. You're not a cop.
You just happen to own
a police district.
Shouldn't I at least
get, like, a badge?
- I dropped $90 million!
- Dios mío.
It's like I have another kid.
Hey.
Oh, my God.
Didn't I tell you
to stay in the car?
Yeah. I ignored you.
Listen, right, I know this guy.
He can be a little jumpy.
So I don't want to be the cop
that broke the billionaire.
Well, "to avoid risk
is to avoid progress."
- Who said that?
- Me...
New York Times, August 2014.
Seriously, you've gotta start
reading some of my interviews.
You're gonna follow me in there
no matter what I
say, aren't you?
"Never listen to no":
Wired magazine, 2011.
Fine. Just do exactly
as I say, okay?
- Hmm?
- Okay.
What?
Damn, we're good.
I'm telling you, I don't
know anything about it.
Ryan, buddy....
Do you remember the first
time I busted you?
- No.
- I do. You were 16 years old,
and you were a bad liar then
and you're a bad liar now.
- Did we find what we were looking for?
- Yeah,
found a match for
the air intake,
and this is definitely
the nitrous system.
That don't prove nothin'.
You want to arrest me? Go ahead.
You got me there.
They would never approve
a felony charge.
Guess I'll just have
to take you home.
Home?
Yeah, your mom still lives
on Fairfield, right?
Yeah, but I don't
want no ride home.
No, honestly, it's
really not a problem.
I mean, but I'm gonna
have to tell her
that you sold those parts,
and that you may or may not have
helped a guy who ran over a kid.
But you can just tell
her what you told me,
that you don't know anything.
Come on.
Wait, wait! Oh... Hold on.
I didn't know, okay?
- He came to me, and he wanted...
- What? What?
Who-who came to you?
Jed Baxter. He did
some time upstate.
Wanted me to trick out his ride.
Paid cash.
I-I thought he was
just a racer, but...
then I heard about
what happened.
I got scared.
- Do you know where I can find him?
- No.
I swear to God. All I know
is that he got a new ride:
a red muscle car
with a big-bore V8.
Came by looking for a
racing carburetor.
I told him he was too
hot, so I sent him away.
Really?
You sure about that?
Okay, so I sold him the car.
But I told him I wasn't
gonna install it.
Look, you don't understand...
Jed's hard-core.
Like... serious.
If you guys don't catch him, and
he finds out that I talked...
Have a little faith.
I put a probe on Titan, I can
handle a moron in a muscle car.
We streamlined the
original design
based on your prototype, and
we added fins for stability.
The big challenge
was the engine.
We were able to put together
a one-fifth scale version
based on the E-bike motor
from the transpo division...
and we came up with this.
The new Reeves Mark I
Police Interceptor Drone.
You made that?
Yes, sir, I did.
A week earlier than it was due.
If you'll forgive me
for saying so, sir,
your impatience is a known
engineering parameter.
Good. Bring it to my car.
And Pete... grab all your stuff.
You're coming to
Law Enforcement,
effective immediately.
The blast sent shrapnel
flying into the bone
here, here, and here.
The damage is severe.
What does that mean?
Does he get, like,
a cast, or...?
We're not going to be
able to save the leg.
You're kidding me.
He's a working dog.
If he can't work...
I know.
That's one of the
reasons why we think
the best thing for
Zingo might be to...
Shut the hell up.
You shut the hell up, I don't
even want to hear that,
- you understand me?
- Brandt, Brandt...
it's not his fault
the dog got hurt.
Now get the hell out of here.
Go!
I'll be over there in a minute.
I'm sorry. Look,
dogs like Zingo got my partner
through two tours in Iraq, so...
if there's anything
you can do...
Yeah. I understand.
Okay.
Here's the situation:
okay, everybody knows we've
been looking for the man
behind the pharmacy robberies
and the hit-and-run
of Emily Jimenez.
Well, last night,
we got a break.
We're looking for Jed Baxter:
local boy, did five
years in the I.D.O.C.
Drives a red sports car.
Consider him armed
and dangerous.
You have all his info
in your beat cars.
Keep your eyes open.
Work your contacts.
Let's get this guy.
A little girl got hurt.
The girl's almost
dead this morning.
I know...
Think you can run one for me?
All right, so have you owned
this car since it was new?
No.
Hold it.
Okay.
1312. Emergency squad.
I am looking at a red sedan,
occupant matches the description
of the wanted suspect.
You guys gettin' this?
Yeah, we're with you, Cobb.
Requesting backup right now.
Try not to spook him, please.
Yeah, well, that's
a negative, squad,
he is officially spooked.
Hey, Murphy.
10-4, squad, 1309 responding.
Already on my way.
Uh...
I lost him.
I lost him, guys.
Murph, he's eastbound
on Monroe.
Get him there.
Doing great, Murph.
You just stay on him.
It's not as easy as
it looks, you know.
Well,
I am right behind you.
Oh!
Is he okay?
- Yeah?
- I'm okay, I'm okay.
Gideon, he lost us.
Speak for yourself.
Down in the tunnel. Hey!
Ah, you can do better than that!
Damn it!
We're losing signal
down in the tunnels.
Come on!
Come on!
Damn it!
Drone's down.
Drone's down. Anybody see him?
Negative, boss.
He's gone.
Hey.
Sorry about your drone.
Huh? Yeah, well,
you know, flying
into a steel pylon
at 50 miles an hour
wasn't exactly in the specs.
You okay?
No. Not really.
I made a promise, Murphy.
I looked that little
girl's mom in the eye
and I said that I
would catch this guy.
$250,000 worth of technology...
gets beaten
by a high school dropout
in a muscle car.
What, what?
How many car chases have
you been in before that?
Um, that would be none.
Yeah, it figures.
Gideon, you're a smart guy.
I know you've got satellites
and holograms and stuff,
but you got to understand
the bad guys are good
at what they do, too.
I mean, Jed Baxter's been
running from the cops
- all of his life.
- Yes,
he's extraordinarily good at
pressing his foot down hard
on the accelerator.
You know, you're pretty dumb
for a genius sometimes.
Come on.
Where we going?
You're going to
car chase school.
Is that an accredited
program or...?
Let's go.
I don't have to
take notes, do I?
I get carsick very easily.
The thing you need to get here,
when it comes to
high-speed pursuit,
is that the bad guy
- almost always has an edge on us.
- You realize
you're in a cruiser with
over 650 horsepower, right?
Yeah, and that's great. I
mean, if we're chasing felons
down a racetrack,
we're gonna win
every time.
Look.
- Look there.
- That, uh...
is an alley.
Well, a couple of years ago,
I chased an idiot down through
there after a carjacking.
He headed down the alley
and took out two delivery trucks
and an old refrigerator
along the way.
We can't do that.
We'd burn through these
fancy cars in a week.
You see that? Baxter
didn't lose us
because he drives a faster car
or because he's a better driver.
He lost us because
he doesn't care
about running people down.
We do.
He'll do it and he
knows we won't.
But the drone isn't
on the street.
Look, the drone's great.
But again, bad guys
aren't stupid.
Baxter took one look at
that thing in the air
and figured out the
fastest way to lose it.
So what are you saying?
We're supposed to give up?
No, my point is this:
you can't underestimate the
bad guys in this job. Ever.
Why are we stopped?
It's my house.
Figured if we're gonna
be working together,
we might as well get
to know each other.
I'll buy you dinner.
You have to pay for
dinner in your own house?
Oh, my...
- Want some more?
- Oh, I'm fine.
Mami, the poor
guy's gonna choke.
Cálmate, mijita. Look at him.
He's too skinny.
So, where are you from?
Evanston.
I grew up in Evanston.
You still have family there?
Uh, not really.
Sort of, my father
still lives up there.
I left home when I was
16 to go to MIT, so...
we're not close.
Theresa says you're a genius.
Making rockets, robots...
Mom, you're gonna embarrass him.
ŻQué? You said it.
Mateo here...
he gets straight As.
The school says he's gifted.
Hey, maybe he should
go work for you.
Straight As, huh? Mateo,
what's your favorite subject?
Math, I guess.
That's the right answer.
I'm an engineer.
You know what that is?
No, what is it?
An engineer is like a superhero,
but better, because he's real.
An engineer builds stuff.
What'd you make there?
It's a track for cars
and motorcycles.
Oh, yeah?
- Both of 'em?
- Uh-huh.
There's, like, teams
and they race.
The motorcycles always win,
'cause they're awesome.
They can go super fast
and go down alleys
that cars can't drive in.
This was delicious. Thank you.
I have to go.
But you just got here.
I... have something
very important.
Gideon, you don't have a car.
I do, I-I always have
a driver on call.
Uh... Mateo...
it's a consulting fee.
Give that to your mom,
have her put it
away for college.
Any school but Caltech.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Thank you so much.
- Good night.
- Good night.
I like him.
Mami, please don't.
Yep, housing fits
great back here.
Well, the housing was
never the issue.
It just needs to deploy cleanly.
All right.
Hey, could you... I can't...
I can't get the angle.
So this is why you ran off
in such a hurry last night?
Um, yeah, pretty much.
I had the basic vehicle,
but just making a
few modifications,
since I went over the
design parameters
that you laid out last night.
Design parameters?
I'm sorry, am I
missing something?
Your lecture on the finer
points of car chases
and your son's ideas
about motorcycles.
These bikes
ought to take care of our alley
and pedestrian problems.
Yeah, well, I was out on
the streets all morning,
asking around about Baxter.
Word is, he gets off
on us chasing him.
He wants to make another score.
Think these are gonna
be ready in time?
We want in.
What? Excuse me?
Ada told me upstairs
what you're working on.
The bikes. Me and Goss,
we're riding 'em.
I told him he can't just
walk his ass up in here
- and interrupt...
- I rode with the Rangers.
Goss was detailed to
the motorcycle unit
before she was assigned here.
Whatever we got to do,
we'll do it.
That bastard almost
killed Zingo.
Yes, and a little girl.
Yeah, and a little girl.
So if there's a slim chance
in hell of catching this guy
with some new thing
that you got?
I'm first in line.
Well, looks like
we got our riders.
All right, everybody,
here's the situation:
word on the street is
another pharmacy's
gonna get hit in
the next few days.
Our job is to be there
when Baxter is.
He's fast, he's smart,
and he's not gonna wait
for us to get there.
We're gonna have to spread
out, set a perimeter.
Are you sure you
want to do that?
Why?
I just figured you'd want
an optimization algorithm.
A what?
Hey, if you set up a perimeter,
nobody's moving and they're far
from most of the
possible targets.
But with the right algorithm,
you can work it out so the
patrol cars are always moving,
and they're always close
to every pharmacy.
- And you can do that?
- Duh.
Okay, new plan. You're
gonna get out there,
Ada's gonna give us an
optimization thing.
Let's go.
Squad 1333. All clear.
Squad 1387.
All clear.
Squad 1391. All clear.
We enhanced the torque
on the engines.
So when you guys accelerate,
you're gonna want to hang on.
Enhanced? How much we talking?
Got about 350 foot-pounds.
Zero to 60 in two seconds.
You're basically gonna be the
fastest things on the road.
All right.
So, uh, what happens when
we catch up to the guy?
The idea is to deploy
a spike strip.
That's what I'm
working on right now.
Hey, uh...
I know this may sound
weird, but, um,
have I seen you before?
You follow wrestling?
Holy hell... you're Blockhead.
I'm sorry, who?
The only pro wrestler
to get the U.S.,
intercontinental
and the tag team belt
at the same time.
Welcome to the Block Party.
- Yeah!
- Yeah.
After a career breaking chairs
over people's heads,
Pete got a PhD in
electrical engineering
from Georgia Tech,
came to work for me.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
Just working out the kinks.
Thanks, man.
Yes, sir.
Captain.
Conrad, that's you.
You're the captain.
Remember?
Still getting used to it.
Weissman, Gioia. Get
these boxes out of here.
Yes, sir. Coming, Cap.
You okay?
Huh? Yeah, no, I...
hit a little snag with
the motorcycle project.
It's fine. I thought you
were going out on patrol.
Yeah. I just... I wanted to
talk to you about something.
What's that?
Look, I know seeing a
little girl get run down,
it hit you hard.
And I know how much
this case means to you.
So I just wanted to say,
if-if you change your mind
and you want another, more
experienced detective
to lead the case...
I understand.
Yeah.
Listen, I'm... I'm pretty
green at this job, myself,
so, you know, if you want
to find another billionaire
to buy the police district,
I would understand.
I don't know any
other billionaires.
I don't really know
any other detectives,
so...
I guess we're stuck with each other.
Okay.
Get out there. Go get the bad guys.
Scumbags...
I don't know. What is it?
Crooks, perps,
whatever phrasing inspires you
to, like, do the most justice.
I mean, it's really
not that complicated.
I'm just partitioning the area
with a distributed algorithm.
Now, see there?
You just lost me again.
Okay, uh... Think
about it, like, um...
Like, you know, the
ghosts in Pac-Man.
It'd be a lot easier
to catch them
if they just stood still, right?
Do I look like I
play video games?
Okay. "Guy with a gun
at Freeman Drug."
That's him.
All units,
pharmacy robbery in Lakeview.
Suspect headed southbound on
Lincoln between 8th and 9th.
1099. 1309 responding.
How are those bikes coming?
Officers, I can't
let you do this.
You haven't even
taken them out, yet.
Well, this party's started,
and I'm not missing it.
Yeah. We'll figure it out.
The spike strips,
they gonna work?
The bikes are wired,
but unless you have eyes
on the back of your head,
you're gonna have a real
hard time targeting.
You got three minutes
to figure it out.
1309. Squad, I'm in pursuit,
requesting backup.
Help is on the way, 1309.
All right. What's the
ETA on Goss and Brandt?
One minute, eight seconds
at current velocity.
Whoa.
How fast are those things going?
Faster than I could
answer that question.
Are you kidding me?!
Brandt, I need you
to get ahead of him.
About eight blocks up,
there's an alley.
Goss, you take 14th
and intercept.
Copy, squad.
Copy that, squad.
Ada, I need to see the road.
Get me a rear view
from Brandt's bike.
Nope. That's all I got.
There's no rear view camera?
They are experimental bikes,
they were in a lab 11
hours ago, I told you
they weren't ready.
Brandt? I want you to
do something for me.
Little busy, right now.
It's very important.
I want you to take
your body camera,
pull it around behind you,
like, as low as you can get.
You want me to wear
my camera on my ass?
Lower back is... is fine.
Yes! That is perfect.
All right, he's almost there.
What about Goss?
Closing in.
Hey, Murphy,
you want to know why I'm not
asking you if you're ready?
Why's that?
'Cause I know the
answer already.
Goss? Brandt?
Both of you, listen
to me carefully.
You're gonna see a red
button on your handlebars.
I'm gonna need you moving
laterally across the road
in front of the car, and
you're gonna hit that button
on my signal. On one.
Ready?
Five...
four...
three,
two...
One!
Chicago Police! Freeze!
- Yeah!
- Yes!
You like that? Huh?
- You like that?
- Stand down.
Stand down! Stand down.
That's for Zingo.
Suspect in custody.
Yes!
Oh, oh, oh!
We got him.
Not bad for a first
case, Detective.
That thing is absurd.
Well, you're not the
one carrying it.
So how is she?
Doctors said she
woke up last night.
I thought they said she
wouldn't be conscious
for at least a week.
Yeah. Well, I hired new doctors.
All right, okay...
Hello.
Detective.
Mr. Reeves.
Oh, uh, Gideon,
please, please.
Uh, I don't know if you've
been watching the news.
I have.
Nice work.
Well...
I had some help.
Is she...?
Baby? Hey.
Some people are here to see you.
- Hi.
- Oh, hi.
I'm Gideon. Uh... I
brought you this.
Get it right up here.
There we go.
Look.
I... I asked for the
biggest that they had.
I wasn't aware of
the latest advances
in teddy bear-making
technologies, so...
It's okay.
I really like it.
Oh. Oh, yeah? All right. Good.
Uh, we have to go.
But I did want to say one thing.
Um...
I can do a lot of things...
Make robots, drones,
turn carbon into nanotubes...
Gideon.
Right. But, uh...
One thing that I can't do
is promise nothing like this
will ever happen again.
But I am trying.
I know.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
That's gonna help out a lot.
Yeah. Let's run it
by the captain.
Hey.
You okay, there?
No.
I went to the vet's
office at lunch.
I checked the cages out back.
Zingo wasn't there.
- Listen, Brandt.
- Yeah.
Just because the dog
wasn't in the cage...
Zingo.
Hey.
Hey, boy! Hey, come here, boy.
Hey, boy!
How did you do this?
Reeves has a medical division,
and most of the device
prototypes are for animals,
and... you know, it
was lying around.
Oh, I was there. He stole it.
Wow. Thank you.
So, um,
what happens to him now?
Well, to be honest,
keeping him on the force might
be a bit of an insurance issue.
So, uh, your partner
said you, uh...
might want a dog.
Did you hear that, boy?
Oh, it's you and me now.
- Hi.
- Hi, papi.
- You have fun at your dad's? Mwah.
- Yeah!
Yeah?
- Missed you.
- You, too.
- Go wait in the car.
- Okay.
So I tried calling you
a couple times today.
Sorry. I've just...
I've been jammed.
Listen, I'm gonna pick him up
from soccer on Tuesday, okay?
I know. So listen, that
transfer we discussed.
I think you should do it.
In fact,
Already had the
paperwork drawn up.
Scott, I already told you.
I'm not leaving the 13th.
Why not?
Oh, because Reeves
made you a detective?
It's not just that.
But yeah. That has
something to do with it.
You know, it seems a
little weird to me,
that the guy's been
there less than a week,
and he's already given
you a promotion.
What are you trying to say?
It's just an observation.
Guess he's a big
fan of your work.
Is that why you called me?
'Cause you're
jealous of my boss?
- No.
- You know what?
I don't have time for this.
Actually, Theresa,
the reason I called was
to give you a heads-up.
The mayor has set
up a task force
to look into the 13th District.
It seems not everybody loves
the idea of a rich guy
shooting people with drones,
or turning citizens
into amateur cops.
So I'd get out while you can.
Oh, there's one more thing.
I'm the head of the task force.
My name is Gideon Reeves.
I built an empire making
rockets, computers, robots...
Made over $100 billion.
Know how I did it?
I'm an engineer.
Touched by tragedy...
- The money!
- No!
My friend has been shot.
Where the hell are you people?!
Takes on the biggest
engineering challenge
of his career...
I want justice for
Elliot James Sully.
Give me the 13th
District to run.
A civilian can't take
over a police district.
They can, with a special
appointment from this committee.
To revolutionize a
police force...
Technology doesn't
solve cases, cops do.
You haven't met my technology.
Wow...
and save a city.
You guys are my partners.
We're gonna change the world.
Hi, I'm Gideon Reeves,
billionaire, inventor,
and new head of Chicago's
13th police district.
If you're seeing
this, you are one
of 378,000 people in this city
who've already downloaded
my new APB crime-fighting app.
Shortly after launch, we had
over 5,000 APB crime reports.
With a fancy bit of
computer engineering
and a little help from
my brilliant team,
we routed every one
of those calls
to the local 911 operators.
Not just the calls...
GPS info, video.
All kinds of good stuff.
You know what?
Rather than tell ya,
why don't I just show ya?
See, up until now, thanks to
short-sighted budget
cuts by the mayor,
criminals have had
such an easy time.
They've been, well,
robbing the candy store.
There you go, take that.
Good. Take that.
You get the big one.
We're reinventing policing,
and we're catching the bad guys.
Thanks to the hard work
of Chicago's finest,
we are about to take a
brand-new bite out of crime...
All in record time, I might add.
Hey, Murph.
Gideon, are you serious?
She's right, I
better wrap it up.
Here's the bottom line.
The mayor can talk all he wants
about Chicago's problems.
Thanks to the APB app...
I'm here to offer solutions.
And jelly beans.
I love jelly beans.
In the electronic
communication blast
through his popular APB app,
maverick billionaire
Gideon Reeves
- may have had some sweet...
- Just one moment.
To offer Chicago's crime-weary
citizens today...
Sorry. Can I help you?
Hello?
Give me the keys to the cabinet.
Now!
- All right, all right, just please...
- Let's go!
Don't do anyth... Oh!
Okay, I assume
everybody saw today's
little demonstration.
Yes, everybody catch that?
So here's the deal.
In my experience, the
best thing to do
with politicians is
to go around them.
You go through them, you
get bloody, and my suits
and your fancy new uniforms
are too nice for that.
Now, I want you all to know
these aren't just words.
I'm here to start a revolution.
And you know where that starts?
Not with the new
guns or the drones,
amazing though they may be.
It starts with all of you.
Murphy, could you...
As you probably heard,
I recently promoted
Murphy here to detective,
and yet... gonna blow
your minds here...
She's still in uniform, she's
not wearing a pantsuit,
sitting at a desk. Why?
Because studies have shown
it's the beat cops that
have the knowledge
and the relationships
to get crimes solved
and cases closed.
So why do we take
detectives off the street?
Well, now we don't.
And it doesn't stop there.
Paperwork? Guess what,
you don't do it anymore.
Mm-hmm. How about
evidence logging? No.
- There's a computerized...
- Gideon!
Oh, God, Ada, I'm kinda
revolutionizing here.
Uh, yeah, but I just
got an APB call.
There's a robbery at a pharmacy.
I-I called it out, but
this station is closer
than any of the
units on patrol...
I'm on it.
You know what? Me, too.
Disruption, guys.
You get it.
1309 squad responding.
Ooh!
1309, we've got three
separate APB reports.
Got a Caucasian male, masked,
approximately five eight.
I'm sending video now.
Copy.
You sure this a good
idea, you being here?
Come on, you heard
me back there.
This is what it's all about,
helping you be the best
cops that you can be...
Changing it up
Yeah, I don't know about that.
You're changing a
lot of tradition.
The cars, the
uniforms, the robots.
Maybe, you know,
learn a little bit
before you just bust things up.
That's what I'm
here for, to learn.
Yeah, but then you're gonna
change everything else, too.
Yeah. See, you're getting it.
1309, be advised.
Looks like the suspect
is on the move now,
- going westbound on Division.
- Copy that.
From your position, you should
be able to pick him up...
Oh!
I think we just did.
So how does this work, exactly?
We just stay on him
and set up a roadblock.
He's not too worried about
sticking to the road.
What the hell is he doing?
Son of a bitch!
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
We need an ambulance
at Rawlings Park.
- 11th and Dover.
- Copy.
Emily, baby, please...
Emily... Baby, please.
Emily!
Gideon, we're still combing
through all of the surveillance
video, looking for any sign
of our hit-and-run driver.
We have units out everywhere,
- but nothing's turned up yet.
- Well, keep looking.
- Every resource we have.
- Okay.
Mr. Reeves, sir, we are trying
to do everything we can,
but since Captain Hauser
tendered his resignation, we...
Wait, Hauser resigned?
Sorry, I thought you
would have heard
from the union by now.
Says he wouldn't
come to work anymore
until you've packed
your money bags
and moved back to Smartassville.
His words, sir, not mine.
That's cute. Uh, no,
I'm-I'm staying.
Fine by me,
but no one here has the stripes
to authorize overtime
and extra shifts.
In that case, congratulations.
I'm sorry?
I read your file. 30-plus
years on the force.
Everybody likes you.
Hell, I like you.
I don't even really know you.
So you are it, Captain Conrad.
Carry on.
He does that kind
of thing a lot.
Ma'am?
Uh...
how's she doing?
Doctors don't know.
She hasn't woke up
since the accident.
She's got swelling in her brain.
They say if it goes
down, she's got a shot.
But if it don't...
You got any kids?
I do.
A son. His name is Mateo.
Then you know how it is.
But you...
When we heard you were
coming into the 13th,
a lot of us thought,
maybe, finally
things were gonna get better.
I even started taking
Emily to the park.
You know how long it's been
since we felt safe doing that?
I guess we weren't as
safe as we thought.
Well, Detective, you
got your first case.
Gideon, are you sure?
I mean, this is a heater case
with a lot of eyes on it.
And we still haven't even
finished our conversation
from when you gave me the badge.
Cool. Let's finish it right now.
Someone just ran down a
little girl in my district.
So here's how we're
gonna do this.
Wear whatever you want.
Drive whatever you want.
Set your own hours, do
whatever the hell it takes,
just get the job done.
Yes, sir.
I went through the files,
and it turns out that the
guy we're looking for
isn't a beginner.
This is the fifth
pharmacy he's hit up
in the same general area.
Targets small shops, gets
into the narcotics lockup,
and rides out like
a bat out of hell.
- Any clue who he is?
- Unfortunately, no.
But he clearly knows
what he's doing.
We have some basic
weight and height info,
but no fingerprints and no face.
We sent a description of
the car to the APB app.
We've been getting
calls all morning.
It's a really common car,
so we've been getting
a lot of hits.
I narrowed the results by
eliminating cars registered
within a ten-mile
radius of the robbery.
Well, he obviously is not
registering his
getaway car, right?
- Yeah, I'd say that's a safe bet.
- Better...
but still nothing to
nail anyone specific.
Actually, I can help with that.
We got a report that the
gunman tossed his mask
on the way out of the pharmacy.
Brandt and Goss managed
to recover it.
DNA.
Even better.
Here, Zingo. Here, boy.
Sniff, yeah, there you go.
Good boy, good boy, good boy.
Come on.
We should get him
some water soon.
We got him water,
like, a block ago.
He's an energetic breed.
He needs hydration.
Seriously, man? Oh, so
you're, like, the expert.
I trained with dogs in the
army for three years.
It's the only thing
that kept me sane.
I know when a dog's thirsty.
You're still thirsty, ain't you, boy?
And what about me?
Every time we're on
patrol, you act like
I'm torturing you when
I get an iced tea.
"Oh, you gotta be kiddin' me."
- That's different!
- How is is different?
Because you're
addicted to iced tea.
It's about feeding your
sick need for caffeine.
Also, Zingo? He can
pee on a tree.
He doesn't gotta drive
around for 40 minutes
lookin' for a clean bathroom.
Do you, boy?
- Aw.
- Okay,
this is the third
location the APB app
has got for our getaway car.
Are you sure that the
dog is up for this?
You're just disappointed
'cause it's not a robot.
Trust me, these dogs
know what they're doing.
It's possible to love
robots and dogs, you know.
You ever watch The Jetsons?
The what?
Okay,
here's the address.
Sending the location now.
Squad, 1305,
copy that.
Who lives there?
Who doesn't, more like it.
It's a mope crash pad.
It's one of those places
that couldn't make
it as a crackhouse.
Easy, boy.
He got something?
Yeah. Yeah, I think he does.
Go, go!
Come on, Zingo!
That's the car.
That's the car from the robbery.
The son of a bitch
set it on fire.
Zingo, no! Zingo!
Brandt!
Zingo, no! Zingo!
Ugh!
Oh, no! Oh, no!
Oh, no, Zingo!
Oh, no, no, no.
All right. Zingo's hurt!
- Oh, no, no, no, no, no, okay, boy.
- Are you okay?
Is he, uh...?
I don't know.
1305. What's your status?
Brandt, are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine! Get help!
1305. Emergency, located
offending vehicle
at 567 Elm Street.
Car is on fire, send CFD...
and we're gonna
need an ambulance.
You'll be okay. All right.
Just go ahead and put
that up on the lift.
Hey.
Am I interrupting?
No, come on in.
I'm at a dead end here.
Me, too. Does yours
have to do with
the theoretical and
technical limitations
of hyperspectral imaging?
No.
Well, let's go with
yours first, then.
We searched the entire house.
Looks like the suspect
never even stayed there.
I mean, he ditched the car in
the back and just lit it up.
Uh, yeah, he certainly did.
Ada says the car was
stolen a month ago.
Uh, she didn't get
anything there.
Uh, found some custom
parts in the engine...
There's a nitrous oxide system
and a flashy air intake.
So I'm trying to
pull serial numbers,
but whatever the
fire didn't destroy
was already filed off.
Wait, these are recent mods?
Like, they were just
put in the car?
Yeah, there's less carbonized
grease on new stuff.
Maybe I should order a
scanning electron microscope.
Hang on, Gideon. I
might have an idea.
I've been chasing these racers
in the 13th for ten years.
There's only like four
places in this district
that sell stuff like that,
and only one that would
actually work on a stolen car.
Grab that stuff. We got a
garage to go check out.
You know all these cruisers
have stereos, right?
We should have some
detecting music.
- Detecting music?
- Yeah.
You had your little detective
moment back there,
and now we're gonna go and
talk to a bad guy, so,
do you who Dime
Store Darlings are?
No.
Okay, look, when we get there,
I'm gonna go inside and
you're gonna stay in the car.
Once everything's settled,
I'll come back and get you.
Settled?
That doesn't like much fun.
Yeah, well, you're not
on a field trip, Gideon.
We're on a trip,
we're in the field.
No. You're not a cop.
You just happen to own
a police district.
Shouldn't I at least
get, like, a badge?
- I dropped $90 million!
- Dios mío.
It's like I have another kid.
Hey.
Oh, my God.
Didn't I tell you
to stay in the car?
Yeah. I ignored you.
Listen, right, I know this guy.
He can be a little jumpy.
So I don't want to be the cop
that broke the billionaire.
Well, "to avoid risk
is to avoid progress."
- Who said that?
- Me...
New York Times, August 2014.
Seriously, you've gotta start
reading some of my interviews.
You're gonna follow me in there
no matter what I
say, aren't you?
"Never listen to no":
Wired magazine, 2011.
Fine. Just do exactly
as I say, okay?
- Hmm?
- Okay.
What?
Damn, we're good.
I'm telling you, I don't
know anything about it.
Ryan, buddy....
Do you remember the first
time I busted you?
- No.
- I do. You were 16 years old,
and you were a bad liar then
and you're a bad liar now.
- Did we find what we were looking for?
- Yeah,
found a match for
the air intake,
and this is definitely
the nitrous system.
That don't prove nothin'.
You want to arrest me? Go ahead.
You got me there.
They would never approve
a felony charge.
Guess I'll just have
to take you home.
Home?
Yeah, your mom still lives
on Fairfield, right?
Yeah, but I don't
want no ride home.
No, honestly, it's
really not a problem.
I mean, but I'm gonna
have to tell her
that you sold those parts,
and that you may or may not have
helped a guy who ran over a kid.
But you can just tell
her what you told me,
that you don't know anything.
Come on.
Wait, wait! Oh... Hold on.
I didn't know, okay?
- He came to me, and he wanted...
- What? What?
Who-who came to you?
Jed Baxter. He did
some time upstate.
Wanted me to trick out his ride.
Paid cash.
I-I thought he was
just a racer, but...
then I heard about
what happened.
I got scared.
- Do you know where I can find him?
- No.
I swear to God. All I know
is that he got a new ride:
a red muscle car
with a big-bore V8.
Came by looking for a
racing carburetor.
I told him he was too
hot, so I sent him away.
Really?
You sure about that?
Okay, so I sold him the car.
But I told him I wasn't
gonna install it.
Look, you don't understand...
Jed's hard-core.
Like... serious.
If you guys don't catch him, and
he finds out that I talked...
Have a little faith.
I put a probe on Titan, I can
handle a moron in a muscle car.
We streamlined the
original design
based on your prototype, and
we added fins for stability.
The big challenge
was the engine.
We were able to put together
a one-fifth scale version
based on the E-bike motor
from the transpo division...
and we came up with this.
The new Reeves Mark I
Police Interceptor Drone.
You made that?
Yes, sir, I did.
A week earlier than it was due.
If you'll forgive me
for saying so, sir,
your impatience is a known
engineering parameter.
Good. Bring it to my car.
And Pete... grab all your stuff.
You're coming to
Law Enforcement,
effective immediately.
The blast sent shrapnel
flying into the bone
here, here, and here.
The damage is severe.
What does that mean?
Does he get, like,
a cast, or...?
We're not going to be
able to save the leg.
You're kidding me.
He's a working dog.
If he can't work...
I know.
That's one of the
reasons why we think
the best thing for
Zingo might be to...
Shut the hell up.
You shut the hell up, I don't
even want to hear that,
- you understand me?
- Brandt, Brandt...
it's not his fault
the dog got hurt.
Now get the hell out of here.
Go!
I'll be over there in a minute.
I'm sorry. Look,
dogs like Zingo got my partner
through two tours in Iraq, so...
if there's anything
you can do...
Yeah. I understand.
Okay.
Here's the situation:
okay, everybody knows we've
been looking for the man
behind the pharmacy robberies
and the hit-and-run
of Emily Jimenez.
Well, last night,
we got a break.
We're looking for Jed Baxter:
local boy, did five
years in the I.D.O.C.
Drives a red sports car.
Consider him armed
and dangerous.
You have all his info
in your beat cars.
Keep your eyes open.
Work your contacts.
Let's get this guy.
A little girl got hurt.
The girl's almost
dead this morning.
I know...
Think you can run one for me?
All right, so have you owned
this car since it was new?
No.
Hold it.
Okay.
1312. Emergency squad.
I am looking at a red sedan,
occupant matches the description
of the wanted suspect.
You guys gettin' this?
Yeah, we're with you, Cobb.
Requesting backup right now.
Try not to spook him, please.
Yeah, well, that's
a negative, squad,
he is officially spooked.
Hey, Murphy.
10-4, squad, 1309 responding.
Already on my way.
Uh...
I lost him.
I lost him, guys.
Murph, he's eastbound
on Monroe.
Get him there.
Doing great, Murph.
You just stay on him.
It's not as easy as
it looks, you know.
Well,
I am right behind you.
Oh!
Is he okay?
- Yeah?
- I'm okay, I'm okay.
Gideon, he lost us.
Speak for yourself.
Down in the tunnel. Hey!
Ah, you can do better than that!
Damn it!
We're losing signal
down in the tunnels.
Come on!
Come on!
Damn it!
Drone's down.
Drone's down. Anybody see him?
Negative, boss.
He's gone.
Hey.
Sorry about your drone.
Huh? Yeah, well,
you know, flying
into a steel pylon
at 50 miles an hour
wasn't exactly in the specs.
You okay?
No. Not really.
I made a promise, Murphy.
I looked that little
girl's mom in the eye
and I said that I
would catch this guy.
$250,000 worth of technology...
gets beaten
by a high school dropout
in a muscle car.
What, what?
How many car chases have
you been in before that?
Um, that would be none.
Yeah, it figures.
Gideon, you're a smart guy.
I know you've got satellites
and holograms and stuff,
but you got to understand
the bad guys are good
at what they do, too.
I mean, Jed Baxter's been
running from the cops
- all of his life.
- Yes,
he's extraordinarily good at
pressing his foot down hard
on the accelerator.
You know, you're pretty dumb
for a genius sometimes.
Come on.
Where we going?
You're going to
car chase school.
Is that an accredited
program or...?
Let's go.
I don't have to
take notes, do I?
I get carsick very easily.
The thing you need to get here,
when it comes to
high-speed pursuit,
is that the bad guy
- almost always has an edge on us.
- You realize
you're in a cruiser with
over 650 horsepower, right?
Yeah, and that's great. I
mean, if we're chasing felons
down a racetrack,
we're gonna win
every time.
Look.
- Look there.
- That, uh...
is an alley.
Well, a couple of years ago,
I chased an idiot down through
there after a carjacking.
He headed down the alley
and took out two delivery trucks
and an old refrigerator
along the way.
We can't do that.
We'd burn through these
fancy cars in a week.
You see that? Baxter
didn't lose us
because he drives a faster car
or because he's a better driver.
He lost us because
he doesn't care
about running people down.
We do.
He'll do it and he
knows we won't.
But the drone isn't
on the street.
Look, the drone's great.
But again, bad guys
aren't stupid.
Baxter took one look at
that thing in the air
and figured out the
fastest way to lose it.
So what are you saying?
We're supposed to give up?
No, my point is this:
you can't underestimate the
bad guys in this job. Ever.
Why are we stopped?
It's my house.
Figured if we're gonna
be working together,
we might as well get
to know each other.
I'll buy you dinner.
You have to pay for
dinner in your own house?
Oh, my...
- Want some more?
- Oh, I'm fine.
Mami, the poor
guy's gonna choke.
Cálmate, mijita. Look at him.
He's too skinny.
So, where are you from?
Evanston.
I grew up in Evanston.
You still have family there?
Uh, not really.
Sort of, my father
still lives up there.
I left home when I was
16 to go to MIT, so...
we're not close.
Theresa says you're a genius.
Making rockets, robots...
Mom, you're gonna embarrass him.
ŻQué? You said it.
Mateo here...
he gets straight As.
The school says he's gifted.
Hey, maybe he should
go work for you.
Straight As, huh? Mateo,
what's your favorite subject?
Math, I guess.
That's the right answer.
I'm an engineer.
You know what that is?
No, what is it?
An engineer is like a superhero,
but better, because he's real.
An engineer builds stuff.
What'd you make there?
It's a track for cars
and motorcycles.
Oh, yeah?
- Both of 'em?
- Uh-huh.
There's, like, teams
and they race.
The motorcycles always win,
'cause they're awesome.
They can go super fast
and go down alleys
that cars can't drive in.
This was delicious. Thank you.
I have to go.
But you just got here.
I... have something
very important.
Gideon, you don't have a car.
I do, I-I always have
a driver on call.
Uh... Mateo...
it's a consulting fee.
Give that to your mom,
have her put it
away for college.
Any school but Caltech.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Thank you so much.
- Good night.
- Good night.
I like him.
Mami, please don't.
Yep, housing fits
great back here.
Well, the housing was
never the issue.
It just needs to deploy cleanly.
All right.
Hey, could you... I can't...
I can't get the angle.
So this is why you ran off
in such a hurry last night?
Um, yeah, pretty much.
I had the basic vehicle,
but just making a
few modifications,
since I went over the
design parameters
that you laid out last night.
Design parameters?
I'm sorry, am I
missing something?
Your lecture on the finer
points of car chases
and your son's ideas
about motorcycles.
These bikes
ought to take care of our alley
and pedestrian problems.
Yeah, well, I was out on
the streets all morning,
asking around about Baxter.
Word is, he gets off
on us chasing him.
He wants to make another score.
Think these are gonna
be ready in time?
We want in.
What? Excuse me?
Ada told me upstairs
what you're working on.
The bikes. Me and Goss,
we're riding 'em.
I told him he can't just
walk his ass up in here
- and interrupt...
- I rode with the Rangers.
Goss was detailed to
the motorcycle unit
before she was assigned here.
Whatever we got to do,
we'll do it.
That bastard almost
killed Zingo.
Yes, and a little girl.
Yeah, and a little girl.
So if there's a slim chance
in hell of catching this guy
with some new thing
that you got?
I'm first in line.
Well, looks like
we got our riders.
All right, everybody,
here's the situation:
word on the street is
another pharmacy's
gonna get hit in
the next few days.
Our job is to be there
when Baxter is.
He's fast, he's smart,
and he's not gonna wait
for us to get there.
We're gonna have to spread
out, set a perimeter.
Are you sure you
want to do that?
Why?
I just figured you'd want
an optimization algorithm.
A what?
Hey, if you set up a perimeter,
nobody's moving and they're far
from most of the
possible targets.
But with the right algorithm,
you can work it out so the
patrol cars are always moving,
and they're always close
to every pharmacy.
- And you can do that?
- Duh.
Okay, new plan. You're
gonna get out there,
Ada's gonna give us an
optimization thing.
Let's go.
Squad 1333. All clear.
Squad 1387.
All clear.
Squad 1391. All clear.
We enhanced the torque
on the engines.
So when you guys accelerate,
you're gonna want to hang on.
Enhanced? How much we talking?
Got about 350 foot-pounds.
Zero to 60 in two seconds.
You're basically gonna be the
fastest things on the road.
All right.
So, uh, what happens when
we catch up to the guy?
The idea is to deploy
a spike strip.
That's what I'm
working on right now.
Hey, uh...
I know this may sound
weird, but, um,
have I seen you before?
You follow wrestling?
Holy hell... you're Blockhead.
I'm sorry, who?
The only pro wrestler
to get the U.S.,
intercontinental
and the tag team belt
at the same time.
Welcome to the Block Party.
- Yeah!
- Yeah.
After a career breaking chairs
over people's heads,
Pete got a PhD in
electrical engineering
from Georgia Tech,
came to work for me.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
Just working out the kinks.
Thanks, man.
Yes, sir.
Captain.
Conrad, that's you.
You're the captain.
Remember?
Still getting used to it.
Weissman, Gioia. Get
these boxes out of here.
Yes, sir. Coming, Cap.
You okay?
Huh? Yeah, no, I...
hit a little snag with
the motorcycle project.
It's fine. I thought you
were going out on patrol.
Yeah. I just... I wanted to
talk to you about something.
What's that?
Look, I know seeing a
little girl get run down,
it hit you hard.
And I know how much
this case means to you.
So I just wanted to say,
if-if you change your mind
and you want another, more
experienced detective
to lead the case...
I understand.
Yeah.
Listen, I'm... I'm pretty
green at this job, myself,
so, you know, if you want
to find another billionaire
to buy the police district,
I would understand.
I don't know any
other billionaires.
I don't really know
any other detectives,
so...
I guess we're stuck with each other.
Okay.
Get out there. Go get the bad guys.
Scumbags...
I don't know. What is it?
Crooks, perps,
whatever phrasing inspires you
to, like, do the most justice.
I mean, it's really
not that complicated.
I'm just partitioning the area
with a distributed algorithm.
Now, see there?
You just lost me again.
Okay, uh... Think
about it, like, um...
Like, you know, the
ghosts in Pac-Man.
It'd be a lot easier
to catch them
if they just stood still, right?
Do I look like I
play video games?
Okay. "Guy with a gun
at Freeman Drug."
That's him.
All units,
pharmacy robbery in Lakeview.
Suspect headed southbound on
Lincoln between 8th and 9th.
1099. 1309 responding.
How are those bikes coming?
Officers, I can't
let you do this.
You haven't even
taken them out, yet.
Well, this party's started,
and I'm not missing it.
Yeah. We'll figure it out.
The spike strips,
they gonna work?
The bikes are wired,
but unless you have eyes
on the back of your head,
you're gonna have a real
hard time targeting.
You got three minutes
to figure it out.
1309. Squad, I'm in pursuit,
requesting backup.
Help is on the way, 1309.
All right. What's the
ETA on Goss and Brandt?
One minute, eight seconds
at current velocity.
Whoa.
How fast are those things going?
Faster than I could
answer that question.
Are you kidding me?!
Brandt, I need you
to get ahead of him.
About eight blocks up,
there's an alley.
Goss, you take 14th
and intercept.
Copy, squad.
Copy that, squad.
Ada, I need to see the road.
Get me a rear view
from Brandt's bike.
Nope. That's all I got.
There's no rear view camera?
They are experimental bikes,
they were in a lab 11
hours ago, I told you
they weren't ready.
Brandt? I want you to
do something for me.
Little busy, right now.
It's very important.
I want you to take
your body camera,
pull it around behind you,
like, as low as you can get.
You want me to wear
my camera on my ass?
Lower back is... is fine.
Yes! That is perfect.
All right, he's almost there.
What about Goss?
Closing in.
Hey, Murphy,
you want to know why I'm not
asking you if you're ready?
Why's that?
'Cause I know the
answer already.
Goss? Brandt?
Both of you, listen
to me carefully.
You're gonna see a red
button on your handlebars.
I'm gonna need you moving
laterally across the road
in front of the car, and
you're gonna hit that button
on my signal. On one.
Ready?
Five...
four...
three,
two...
One!
Chicago Police! Freeze!
- Yeah!
- Yes!
You like that? Huh?
- You like that?
- Stand down.
Stand down! Stand down.
That's for Zingo.
Suspect in custody.
Yes!
Oh, oh, oh!
We got him.
Not bad for a first
case, Detective.
That thing is absurd.
Well, you're not the
one carrying it.
So how is she?
Doctors said she
woke up last night.
I thought they said she
wouldn't be conscious
for at least a week.
Yeah. Well, I hired new doctors.
All right, okay...
Hello.
Detective.
Mr. Reeves.
Oh, uh, Gideon,
please, please.
Uh, I don't know if you've
been watching the news.
I have.
Nice work.
Well...
I had some help.
Is she...?
Baby? Hey.
Some people are here to see you.
- Hi.
- Oh, hi.
I'm Gideon. Uh... I
brought you this.
Get it right up here.
There we go.
Look.
I... I asked for the
biggest that they had.
I wasn't aware of
the latest advances
in teddy bear-making
technologies, so...
It's okay.
I really like it.
Oh. Oh, yeah? All right. Good.
Uh, we have to go.
But I did want to say one thing.
Um...
I can do a lot of things...
Make robots, drones,
turn carbon into nanotubes...
Gideon.
Right. But, uh...
One thing that I can't do
is promise nothing like this
will ever happen again.
But I am trying.
I know.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
That's gonna help out a lot.
Yeah. Let's run it
by the captain.
Hey.
You okay, there?
No.
I went to the vet's
office at lunch.
I checked the cages out back.
Zingo wasn't there.
- Listen, Brandt.
- Yeah.
Just because the dog
wasn't in the cage...
Zingo.
Hey.
Hey, boy! Hey, come here, boy.
Hey, boy!
How did you do this?
Reeves has a medical division,
and most of the device
prototypes are for animals,
and... you know, it
was lying around.
Oh, I was there. He stole it.
Wow. Thank you.
So, um,
what happens to him now?
Well, to be honest,
keeping him on the force might
be a bit of an insurance issue.
So, uh, your partner
said you, uh...
might want a dog.
Did you hear that, boy?
Oh, it's you and me now.
- Hi.
- Hi, papi.
- You have fun at your dad's? Mwah.
- Yeah!
Yeah?
- Missed you.
- You, too.
- Go wait in the car.
- Okay.
So I tried calling you
a couple times today.
Sorry. I've just...
I've been jammed.
Listen, I'm gonna pick him up
from soccer on Tuesday, okay?
I know. So listen, that
transfer we discussed.
I think you should do it.
In fact,
Already had the
paperwork drawn up.
Scott, I already told you.
I'm not leaving the 13th.
Why not?
Oh, because Reeves
made you a detective?
It's not just that.
But yeah. That has
something to do with it.
You know, it seems a
little weird to me,
that the guy's been
there less than a week,
and he's already given
you a promotion.
What are you trying to say?
It's just an observation.
Guess he's a big
fan of your work.
Is that why you called me?
'Cause you're
jealous of my boss?
- No.
- You know what?
I don't have time for this.
Actually, Theresa,
the reason I called was
to give you a heads-up.
The mayor has set
up a task force
to look into the 13th District.
It seems not everybody loves
the idea of a rich guy
shooting people with drones,
or turning citizens
into amateur cops.
So I'd get out while you can.
Oh, there's one more thing.
I'm the head of the task force.
