Chicago P.D. (2014–…): Season 10, Episode 17 - Out of the Depths - full transcript

As the team investigates a convenience store robbery, the evidence leads them to an unusual pair of suspects, revealing a dark personal drama and another potential victim; Burgess slowly makes strides tackling her past trauma.

- I'm doing all of it.

The sleep techniques,
the breath work...

I'm reading all the books.

I'm trying to meditate.

I mean, you know,
I'm sitting there,

and I'm breathing.

I'm doing what you said.

The, uh, exposure therapy,

the exercise.

I am trying.

But I just feel...



I mean, I don't...

I feel tired, and I
don't feel better.

- That's okay.

If you don't feel better yet,
that doesn't mean you won't,

and I can keep giving you
all these practical tips.

I'm happy to do that.

Have you thought at all
about what we talked about...

Bringing your partner
for a session?

- I just don't think
Adam would be up for it.

- How do you know if
you haven't asked?

- I also don't
think it's gonna do

what you think it's gonna do.

- I really don't
have any grand plans

that I'm not telling
you. It's not some trick.



It might help to have
someone you love with you.

You're doing all the work.

I see that, but I also see

it's been very difficult
for you to confront

the possibility that this
may have affected your life.

- Or maybe it hasn't?

I know I need to
be here. I know.

I'm doing the work.

I just...

maybe my whole life
doesn't have to be colored

by something that happened
to me over a year ago.

- Okay.

All I ask is you think
about bringing him.

That's all.

We are out of time,
unfortunately.

Are we okay to pause here?

- Yeah.

- Female, 60s, camped
out in an elevator,

armed with a kitchen
knife.

Alarm sounding at
3489 Fullerton.

Possible gunfire
reported at 3478 Cermak.

Units on the citywide,

armed robbery in
progress at 3478 Cermak,

Salinas Food Mart.

We're getting calls... Two
armed offenders inside.

- 50-21 Eddie,
I'm real close by,

plainclothes officer...
Hold me down, responding.

Chicago PD! Drop your weapon!

50-21 Eddie, 10-1, 10-1!

Shots fired at the police!

I need cars!

- All units, hold the air.

We have a 10-1 being
called at 3478 Cermak.

50-21, are you hit?

- 50-21 Eddie, I'm good.

I've got two armed offenders
fleeing southbound on foot...

Masked, gloved up,
black clothing.

I don't have eyes.
- Help!

Help me!

- Chicago PD... Hands
where I can see 'em.

All right. Anybody else here?

- No. They just left.

There was two of 'em.

- 50-21 Eddie, I've
got a male beaten.

I need an ambo.
- Copy, 50-21 Eddie.

- Oh, my God. He's gonna die.

- He's got a pulse. I
need that ambo fast.

- Oh, God. They wouldn't stop.

He gave 'em everything
that they asked for,

but they wouldn't stop.

- Okay, sir. You are okay.

- I-I-I couldn't stop them.

I didn't know how to stop them.

I-I couldn't stop them.
- Hey... hey, hey.

Look at me. You did real good.

He's still breathing.
You did real good.

I need you to keep helping
me. Can you do that?

Can you help me?

- Yeah.
- Okay, good.

Go over there... right there,

and hold his hand.

Hold it... good.

- Now, you are gonna
breathe with him,

and you're gonna keep him awake.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Slow your breathing down.
Slow it down, slow it down.

All right, in for four.

- Hold.

Out for six.

Good.

That's real good.
You're doing real good.

You're helping me, see?

Again... in for four.

Hold.

Out for six.

- You all good?
- Yeah. This thing was fast.

According to our witness,
it was quick and violent.

So two armed
offenders, both masked,

gloved up, entered
through the front door,

fled through the side.

I arrived as they were fleeing.

We exchanged gunfire.

They both escaped.

Employee said the offender shot
out the security camera first,

then demanded all the cash
in the register at gunpoint.

That's all I got
from him so far.

He's in shock.

- Why all the mess?

- I don't know... intimidation?

They made the owner
surrender all the cash

from the register; he did.

Then they beat the
hell out of him anyway.

- They got a victim
who's touch and go,

on the way to Med.

- Anything on POD cams?
- No, sir.

We pulled footage from a
private security camera

down the block, but
we got nothing yet.

Patrol's doing knock-and-talks.

- It's a hell of
a lot of damage.

How much was in the register?

- $42.

- All right, look, there's
gotta be a getaway car

somewhere around here.
Just keep diggin'.

As soon as that employee's
calm, talk to him.

Let's find these men fast.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I thought you were
undercover with Sam all day.

- Callum's sick.

Richard's not at
the yard all week,

so I'm gonna lay low,
work on this one.

Are you all right?

I heard the 10-1 on the radio.

You took close-range fire?
- I'm good, I'm good.

Let's work, okay?
- All right.

- Can you tell us anything
about the offenders?

Did you get a good
look at either of them?

- No, they-they were
covered up, head to toe.

- Well, what about their voices?

Did either of them
have an accent?

Did they say each other's names?

- No, only one of them talked...

The-the one who beat John.

The other one was just there.

- What was the other
offender saying?

- I-I-I don't know. He
was-he was just shouting.

He shouted the whole time,

and he told us what to do.

He was smashing everything up,

and he was laughing,

like-like he was having fun.

And he just kept saying,

"It just keeps getting
better and better."

- This wasn't their
first robbery.

It's definitely a pattern.

I spoke to Robbery/Homicide.

They've had four similar
hits this month alone.

- Same MO... two armed defenders,
masked, gloved, tan duffel.

Only one of 'em ever talks.

- Okay, so they enter fast,

shoot up security cameras,
smash and grab, then flee.

- They're hitting cash-only
joints on barren blocks,

so we've had no luck with PODs,

but witness from a previous
robbery snapped a photo.

- Female offender?

- Yeah, it's rare, but they
are a male-female team.

- All right, anything
in from Forensics yet?

- No, the convenience store
gets a lot of traffic.

They said it's gonna
be a minute to pull

and separate all the samples.

- I got that security
footage from down the block.

At least four of those
stores had external cams,

so I could probably
pull something.

- All right, good.
Run through all of it.

Where's Torres?

- Uh, Ocean's got that
narcotics interdiction seminar.

We got a slim crew, Sarge.

- Nothing from the
hardware store.

Camera angle is all wrong.

- Yeah, I got nothin'.

Hey, so the hard work
must be paying off, huh?

- Huh?
- The gunshots...

You didn't have a reaction.

Points for Dr. Hammond, right?

- Oh.

Yeah, I guess.

- I'm proud of you.

- Whoa, I got him.

Uh, you have
footage of the alley

behind the gangway, right?
- Yeah, yeah.

- Where?

- You see that?
- Yeah, she takes her mask off,

but I can't see her face.

- I'm sorry, are they, uh...?

- Oh, yeah, they are...

they're having sex.

All right. They
came up this way.

It's right here.

He pushed her up
against this fence.

- Ain't the strangest
thing I've seen.

- We got hits off the balaclava.

Victim's blood was
on the outside,

and we caught
blonde hairs inside.

DNA came back with a match.

Hair belongs to a
Ruby Bertinelli.

29 years old, she's
got an LKA listed

and a car registered
to her name,

no priors.
- No priors?

Wait, is this is victim DNA?

- Yeah, the DNA match came

from a rape kit
performed four years ago.

- Are you allowed
to give us that?

- Isn't this a violation
of victim's rights?

- You wanna tell me
how to do my job?

- No, but this can't possibly...

- There's nothing
in Illinois law

preventing me from
giving you that.

You wanted a DNA
match. You just got it.

Your offender was a victim once.

Isn't everyone?

Take it or leave it.

- Was the tech
wrong? Is it illegal?

- No, not exactly.
Legally, it's murky.

Law doesn't prevent
him from getting a hit,

but, uh, you know,
he had to dig for it.

- Well, if we're legally okay...

- But it's not ethical.

It sets a terrible precedent,
using a victim's DNA

to build a case on
a current crime.

- Burge, you already
saw the name.

- And I shouldn't have, Kev.

The only reason her
DNA is in our system

is because she
was a victim once.

She has victim's rights.

- Kim, you're holding her ID
right there... an offender,

an offender who was
involved in five robberies,

the last of which,
a man was beaten

within an inch of his life.
- I know.

I was on the scene with him.

It doesn't make it
black and white.

- I know that. Look,
we got it legally.

It would be unethical
not to use it.

- I'd never come forward
and report a rape

if I knew my DNA could
be used like this.

She reported the
rape as a victim,

and that's what it
should be used for...

And only that.

- Look, we're not
moral authorities.

We're not lawyers.

It's legal.

We're usin' it.

Look, I don't care
what you put on paper.

Leave the DNA out of it.

Do some creative
writing on the back end.

Run her LKA, her car,

known associates...
bring her in.

- Uh, this is her LKA.

Doesn't look like anybody's
been here for a while.

- I'll check the back.

- Chicago PD!

Ruby Bertinelli!

Hey, ma'am, how you doin'?

Chicago PD.

Have you seen your
neighbor Ruby around?

- No.

She don't really
live there no more.

Why? What'd she do?

- Well, what happened?
Did she move out?

Have you ever seen
her with any visitors?

- No, she wasn't like that.

She just got weirder and weirder

and stopped coming around.

- Weirder?

- Was disappearing
where she was standing.

Why? What'd she do?

- Yo, Kev, Kim, you
got your ears in?

- Yeah, I'm listening,
Ruz. What's up?

- Patrol just called in
a hit on Ruby's BOLO.

Got her car parked about
a mile from her house.

- Okay, send that
address. We're on the way.

Thank you very much, ma'am.
- Copy.

- Vehicle's unoccupied.

We did a drive-by
but didn't approach.

Plates are a match
for your BOLO.

The vehicle's registered
to Ruby Bertinelli.

- You see any POD cams?

- No, block is dark.

Need us to stick around?

- Hey.
- Go, go, go, go, go!

- They might double
back. Stay on the car!

- Copy!

- You're good, you're
good. Let's go.

- Let's go.
- Move, move, move, move.

- Everybody, get down!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

- The shots came from
that store right there.

- We got it, we got it.

50-21 Eddie, on
scene, shots fired...

Possible armed robbery
in progress, 5110 Racine.

- Come on, come on out!
- Go, go, go, go, go, go.

Anybody hurt? Everybody okay?

Call out.
- They're in the back!

- How many?
- Two.

- Okay, up, up, up, up.
- Stay low, go fast.

- Stay low, go fast.
- Go fast.

- Here we go.

Chicago PD! Stop!

- Go, go, go!
- I got him.

- Go! 50-21 Eddie,
I need an ambo.

- Copy, 50-21 Eddie.
Ambo en route.

- 50-21 David, on foot pursuit
of a armed, masked offender

going eastbound in the alley.

Agh!

50-21 David, I lost eyes.

I repeat, I no
longer have eyes...

- Stay with me. Hang on
for me, okay? Hang on.

- Still...

here.

- Chicago PD. Drop your weapon.

Drop it!

Drop it right now,
or I will shoot you!

Ruby!

Denver, 1,001 miles.

Dallas, 968.

- Drop the weapon! I
don't wanna shoot you!

Drop it!
- 1753.

- Drop!

- Dallas, 968 miles.

Phoenix, 1,000...

1,753 miles.

- I got you. I got you.

50-21 Eddie, where's my ambo?

- 50-21 Eddie, ambo
two minutes out.

- Dallas, 968 miles.

Phoenix, 1,753 miles.

Salt Lake City...

- Three weeks ago, you crashed

into a Humboldt
Park liquor store,

stole the money from
the cash register

while your partner
beat the cashier.

Do you recognize this woman?

Her five-year-old kid
wouldn't look at her, either.

The next week, your partner

smashed a 71-year-old man's
head against a concrete wall.

He'll be lucky if he sees
out of that eye again.

The witness at this one said
it seemed like the two of you

were having a really good time.

Your partner was laughing.

This man is now fighting
for his life at Chicago Med.

And him, father of two,
number three on the way...

He just bled out on
the cold, dirty tile.

And you, Ruby, you're
responsible for all of it...

You and your partner.

He beat these people.

He killed them
while you watched.

So I'd talk now.
It's your only shot.

What's your partner's name?

He left you, Ruby.

He left you alone,
chanting on the ground.

Don't be loyal to
him. He wasn't to you.

Who is he?

Ruby.

Do you understand that
you are responsible

for all of this?

Until we find him... all of it.

Who is he?

Ruby.

Are you understanding
what I'm saying?

- Find anything?

- Not yet. Her social
media's real barren.

She stopped posting
four years ago.

- Who's this?

- That's the man
Ruby accused of rape.

- Ethan James Hanley...

32, multiple priors,
assault, two pops for theft.

- They worked together at a bar.

She accused him of
rape, took a rape kit.

What if he's our
second offender?

- I don't know, Kim.

Look at his stats...
He's not a match.

- You know, the height's
within a couple inches.

He could've lost weight.

It's just that her whole
life changed four years ago

after she recanted, right?

She stopped posting,

stopped making payments,
stopped paying rent.

She withdrew.

- Do we have anything that shows

they're currently in contact?

- No. We don't have that, no.

But these are adrenalized
thrill robberies.

- I mean, that woman that I
saw at that liquor store...

May-maybe she was
having an episode.

It's kind of the same way I get.

It was like she wasn't there.

- Okay.

- Or maybe I'm
projecting, right?

I don't know, it's just
something feels wrong.

- It's a little
bit of a stretch.

Yeah.

- But hey, let's check
him out, you and me.

- All right.

- Doesn't look like
there's anyone inside.

- Ethan Hanley?

Adam.

- Chicago PD!

All right, I'm going down.

Clear downstairs.

- Clear up top.

He's our second offender.

Ruby's working with a
man she accused of rape.

- Tan duffel matches
make and model

from previous crime scenes...

Same goes for clothes and shoes.

- And Ethan?

- I have no sign of him.

I've got an investigative alert,

a BOLO out on his car,

alerts on all his credit cards.

- So neighbor says Ethan
lives with a young blonde...

Hardly talks,
keeps to herself...

Just ID'd Ruby off a six pack.

- So Ruby is living and robbing

with the man she
accused of rape?

- Well, Ethan was never charged,

because Ruby recanted.

So they were working
together before

and continued to
work together after.

So they've been around
each other the whole time,

close proximity.

She saw him every day.

- Yeah, so the rape
probably continued.

The bar shut down, Ethan
started jacking joints,

got her into it.

This girl had nowhere to go,

no place to get help, she
was probably drowning,

trapped, numb...
So she turned off.

You know, she might
not even be fully aware

of what she's doing.

- If Ruby participated
in six brutal robberies,

bad circumstances may
have gotten here there,

but I mean, she was there.

All right, let's dig into Ethan.

Rip this place apart.

Figure out where
the hell he'd run.

Press Ruby again.

Make her tell you where he is.

- Where?

The question's not
gonna change, Ruby.

You have to tell
me where Ethan is.

Where is he?

Four years ago, you accused
Ethan James Hanley of rape.

We read the whole file.

You said he forced
himself on you

after your closing
shift at work.

Threatened to beat
you if you screamed,

and then he raped you.

- No.

I lied.

It wasn't rape.

And I told the cops that.

- Why would you lie about
something like that?

I think it did happen,

and I think you told the truth.

I don't know if the
cops didn't believe you

or Ethan threatened something.

I-I don't know why

you recanted, but I
believe it did happen...

- No! It didn't,
it didn't happen,

and I have nothing else to say.

- Ruby, you're
looking at multiple

armed robbery charges,
assault, homicide,

attempted murder of
a police officer.

You'll die in prison
of these charges.

- Fine.

- Ruby, help yourself.

Just tell me where Ethan is.

- You're not gonna get me to
say something that isn't true.

I'm not talking to you.

I have nothing else to say.

- She still won't talk.

It's like she backs away

every time she gets
close to even thinking

about what happened with Ethan.

- All right, so what
else do we have on Ethan?

- Well, we do have confirmation

that the blood on his
clothes were definitely blood

from the victims of
the last robbery,

but we don't have
anything on his location.

- BOLO hasn't
turned up anything.

His phone's off.

No hits on his credit cards.

Upton and UCs are
sittin' on his place

in case he comes back
around.

- That man is either
laying real low,

or he already skipped town.

- All right, so let's just
dig into Ethan's history.

Charges he's made on his
card the past few months.

Parking tickets could lead
back to a place he frequents...

Old properties, LKAs
linked to his name,

associates he'd go to
for help, for cash.

Look, why don't you go
ahead and charge Ruby?

Maybe the charges will
scare her into talking.

- Sarge?

I'm trying one more
thing with Ruby first.

- I don't wanna be here.

- Come on, Ruby, real quick.

- You don't need to do this.

It's not gonna do anything.

- We're gonna have
to charge you,

and I won't be able
to say you helped,

which means...

you do time for all of it.
- It's a life sentence, Ruby.

- Yeah, you already
told me all that.

- I know.

I know, and I wanted to give you

one last chance to
look it in the eye.

So this is where
you used to work,

you and Ethan.

And then, one night...

A terrible thing happened.

A terrible thing that
split your life in two,

into a before and an after,

and I think that every
decision you made

after that was just to
survive, and you did.

- I told you nothing
happened here.

- Ruby, you can confront this.

I know that you can, and
I'm gonna get you a deal.

I promise, okay?

I will keep you safe.

You'll never have
to see him again.

I will get you help, but
you've gotta talk to me.

You gotta tell me
where he'd run.

- Nothing happened here.

I said I don't wanna talk
anymore, and I don't.

Get me a lawyer.

- No.

- I want a lawyer,
okay? Get me a lawyer.

- You could've asked for
a lawyer this whole time.

I know that you know
that, and you didn't.

I think that you wanna talk.

I think you're tired, that
you wanna feel better.

- I don't. I don't. I don't.
- Ruby.

- I don't. You don't know me.

You don't know
anything about me!

- I know that he left you.

Ethan left you when you
were scared and panicked.

That's not a partner.
That's not what they do.

- Stop.

- Do this for yourself, Ruby.

I know that you can.
- No, stop.

I want a lawyer, okay?

Now! Get me a lawyer!

- Okay.

You memorized this.

You were here with
him when it happened,

and you memorized this.

I know you're scared,

but you can do this, Ruby.

You can.

I don't know.

I don't know, I don't
know where he is.

- Okay, you don't have to
know exactly where he is.

Maybe you know more
than you think you do.

I know how to reach him.

- Ruby doesn't know
where Ethan would go,

but she says they
use an online game

to message each other.

- How do we know
he's checking it?

- She said she's sure if
he's alive, he's checking it.

- Ethan might not know
that we arrested Ruby.

He ran. He left her
there, cowering.

What if she plays that she
ran out right after him,

and she couldn't get to a
computer until just now?

- And what does Ruby think
she's getting for cooperating?

- I promised her a deal.

- That's not a
promise you can make.

- She deserves...
- It doesn't matter.

Kim, she is going to do time.

There's no way we're
walking back six robberies.

You need to make
sure she knows that.

- I will.

- All right, have
her lure Ethan out.

Get an ASA onboard.

- Yeah.

- Kim.

I assume if there's ever
anything I need to know about

how you're doing,

you'd tell me.

And I'm not... I'm
not pressing you.

I'm just saying that...

if I need to know,
you can tell me.

I got your back.

- Thank you.

- It's better if
you do it, Ruby.

Ethan might recognize
your word choice

and the way you say things.

He'll know if it's not you.

Okay.

- Are we done yet?

- For now.

- Guy sure is taking his time.

- He said he'll be
here. He'll be here.

- Okay, everybody, look alive.

We got somebody walking
towards the entrance...

Male, about 5'10", hoodie up,

can't make a positive ID.

I'ma follow.

- Burge and Ruz,
he's headed your way.

- Keep eyes.

Hold until we have a positive.

- We got a positive.
It's Ethan.

- Move.

Slow and steady.

- Chicago PD... Ethan Hanley,

turn around and
put your hands up.

Put your hands up and
get on your knees.

Ethan!

Put your hands up right now

and get on your knees.

It's over!

- Where's Ruby?

Where is she?

- She's not coming.

- Why? What did you tell her?

- Thing is, I didn't have
to tell her anything.

- What did you make her do?

- She did it all on her own.

Now, I want you to
get your hands up

and get on your knees!

You know she's a liar, right?

Her
head's all messed up!

You can't believe
a word she says!

She's broken, and
there's no fixing her!

- You put your hands
up, Ethan, now!

Gun!

He showed up, just
like you said he would.

But he drew a weapon on
us, and we had to engage.

Ethan's dead.

Now, you will still be
charged like we talked about.

You'll be booked, but
your lawyer's good.

Your deal is good.

- Ruby?

Dallas, 968.

- Ruby...

stay with me, okay?

You're in a room with me.

Can you hear me?

- Phoenix, 1,000...

- Ruby, I'm here with you...

- 1,001 miles.

- Okay.
- Dallas, 968 miles.

- Okay.
- Phoenix, 1,000...

- How's Ruby?

They booked her.

Uh, she...

I mean, hopefully,
she'll get better...

- Hey, Sam texted me.

Callum's still sick,
so I got another 24 off

from undercover.
- Nice.

Mak's got that sleepover.
We could do something.

There's a new fusion
place on Rush.

I don't know what the fusion
is, but Platt seems to like it

even if she doesn't
know what's being fused.

How 'bout therapy?

Is that a restaurant?

- Um, my therap... my therapist
thinks it'd be a good idea

if you came in for
a family session.

- Okay, all right. Why?

- I don't know.

It's up to you, kay?
I can push her off.

I'm sure it's fine
if we don't do it.

I mean, like, come on.

I don't really think
it's gonna do anything.

- It's okay.

Let's go.

Let's go do therapy.

- Was it that hard
of a question?

- Oh, you're looking at me?

Oh.

I'm not trying to be
a problem or anything.

My mind's just kind of
blank, you know what I mean?

- That's okay.

You two might be
the same like that.

It's not easy to
confront that something

might've affected your
life, your relationship

without your consent...
Your control.

- See, I don't think
that the PTS has

affected our relationship.

I mean...
- Yeah.

- Kim and I, we've
been through plenty...

Had fights, you know,
been out of sync,

but we worked through it.
We'll work through this too.

- What do you mean
by "out of sync"?

I don't know.

I mean, you know...

Maybe there were some times

where I... maybe I felt
more and wanted more,

and, uh, you know, she didn't

feel the same way, want
the same things, but...

You adjust. I adjusted,
we adjusted, and...

worked through it.

- You had a reaction
when he said that.

What were you thinking?

- Oh, I don't know.

Um...

I-I-I-I haven't ever not felt...

It...

It's not that I didn't

feel the same way that he did.

I did. I, um, I always have.

I just couldn't, um...

I couldn't... I, um...

You know, I was just too...

- Okay, okay.

We don't need to keep
pushing that tonight.

That's a good start.

All right, we have
a little more time.

Why don't we move on
to something else?

- Adam...

- You were too what?

- I was too scared.

And numb.
