Chicago P.D. (2014–…): Season 10, Episode 21 - New Life - full transcript

- With the waters of baptism,
God makes an end of sin

and a new beginning of goodness.

Give him the new life of baptism

and welcome him into
your holy church.

- From church
straight to work, cop?

- Hey, Mia, Mia.

I just...

I just wanted to say
thanks for coming.

I...

my... you know, my cousin, he...

he really loves your ma.



- That's my church.

Those are my friends.
Of course I was there.

- Okay, yeah. I just... I...

Hold up, are you
talking to me now or...

'cause I'd really love to be...

- My brother, Quico,
was baptized here.

- "How's Quico?"

Thanks for asking.

Menard prison is great.

If you're a service dog.

The dogs get heated cells.

Now so much for Quico.

- I can see what I can do.

- I'm not asking
you for a favor,



I'm just telling you.

You shouldn't be surprised
to see me in my neighborhood.

- Did you see someone in my car?

No?

Listen, I have to go.

But I...

Juan?

Juan! Do you hear me?

Uh, Juan?

- Hey, hey! Can you hear me?

Juan!

J-Juan!

Yes, yes, this is
Officer Torres.

My badge number is 58324.

I need an ambulance right
now, 1121 North Ravine.

I have a victim
that's been shot!

I'm 50 yards off the road! I
need an ambulance right now!

Hey, Juan, Juan, hey, hey!
No, no, no, stay with me!

Who did this?

- Dante.
- Yeah?

- I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

- No.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

No!

- We got an ID?

- Juan Ariza. He was 45.

He used to be a major
dealer in Pilsen.

- Huh.

- Did a year in 2016 for
distribution of drugs.

Lost some power but
still maintained control.

- You know him?

- Yeah, I know him.
- Huh.

- He used to run the
neighborhood when I was kid.

Ruled by fear.

I used to see him at
the diner on Cermak.

Tried to be every
kid's uncle, you know?

But I maintained my distance.

- Did he say anything
when you found him?

- He was mumbling.

Sorry, but I
couldn't make it out.

- Huh.

- Patrol and techs are
searching for evidence.

Nothing so far, and there's
no cameras in the area.

- No shells, either.

And the only blood we
got is in the trunk.

This was just a drop site.

- Okay, the Camry belonged
to a Regina Foltz,

a retired engineer from Pilsen.

She was carjacked last
night around 6:00 p.m.

Offender wore a mask,
dragged her out of the car,

and beat her.
- All right, that's something.

- I'm on it.

- All right, we know
Ariza was dumped here.

Question is, where was he shot?

You got a home address?

- His last known was on Demont.

Moved away three years ago,

no record of
anything else since.

- He's always around
the neighborhood,

so he must have a property
under another name.

- All right, so find it

and get forensics on that
note left for Torres.

Look, whoever wrote it
knew there was a body here.

They gotta know more.

Let's go.
- I got it.

- Wait, Dante. Hold up.

Why do you think they
left youthat note?

- 'Cause I'm a cop.

- Lot of cops in Pilsen.

- Yeah, well, some people still
appreciate that I'm police.

They... they come to me.

- Simple as that?

- Yes, sir. Think so.

- All right. Let's get to work.

- Techs processed the
note on Torres' car.

No touch DNA, no prints.

- All right. Any
luck on your end?

- No, church doesn't
have security cameras.

No one's admitting they
saw it placed there.

No one's coming forward to me.
- Huh.

- This is Juan Ariza.
Divorced, no kids.

Ex-wife lives in Cleveland.

Local police checked
her alibi. She's clean.

All she wanted is to
know if he had suffered.

- All right. Must've
made her day.

- This is Ariza's crew,
or what's left of it.

They took over Pilsen
in the mid-2000s.

They used young enforcers
to collect street taxes,

do the dirty work...
Tortures to beatdowns.

They were organized
and ruthless,

but they started making
enemies and losing power.

Kev.

- So the main threat
to Ariza's domain

is this young crew called
the Serpiente Letal.

Means "fatal snakes."

We got a lot of documented
territory conflicts, shootings.

Led by Sergio Navarro

and his right-hand
man, Thomas Vega.

- Vega's got a long sheet.

Got a couple violent
pinches for agg assault

anda carjacking.

Dragged the driver out,
beat him, nearly killed him.

- Sounds like our jacking.
- Exactly.

Same MO, no evidential proof.

These two have known each
other since little league.

In sixth grade,

they robbed the team
concession stand together.

You can't make this stuff up.

Where one goes,
the other follows.

- You know, on paper,

they both look
good for it, Sarge,

but like Burgess said,

right now, we got
no evidential proof.

- Hmm.
- Hey, Boss?

- What are you doing here?

I told you to get some sleep.
- Yeah, I know.

I'll try. Just came
to download my COH.

Platt handed me
that on the way up.

- Hmm.

- CPIC got a hit
on your guy, Ariza.

He's got a house in
his niece's name.

- Huh. Place is on
Damen and Cullerton.

- That's 20 minutes from
where the body was dropped.

- Might be where he was shot.

Secure a warrant.
Let's search the place.

Chicago PD!

Anybody home?

Go ahead, Kev.

Chicago PD!

Chicago PD! Anyone home?

All right, Kim...
- I'll take the basement.

- Okay. Let's clear the rest.

- Got anything?

- No.

Looks clean.

- Guess Ariza had
a lot of friends.

- Mm-hmm.

- You okay?

- Yeah. I'm all right.

I'll check the back.

- Only thing I found

was this unregistered
9-millimter in a drawer.

No sign of forced
entry or a struggle.

Didn't toss the place,
nothing seems to be missing.

- No blood, bleach,
shell casings.

Ariza wasn't killed here.

- Garage is empty, but I found
an extra fob for a Lexus.

Serial number matches
Ariza's ex-wife's vehicle.

- Hmm. Could've been what
they were driving last night.

- So get into the GPS.
Let's find that car.

- Hank.

Ariza used to run
Torres' neighborhood.

He tell you if he ever knew him?

- He says he barely
knew him. Why?

- No reason.
- Yeah.

- Car parked here
at 9:56 last night.

- All right, we run the
addresses on the block?

- Yeah, but the only
house that really matters

is that one around the corner.

Loud music complaints,
multiple in-service calls.

It's a party house.

- A stash house?

- Could be, but I
don't understand

why Ariza would visit
a rival stash house.

- All right, Upton and
I will take the car.

You three, do a
walk-by. Check it out.

- Gun!

- 50-21 David, 10-1, 10-1!

Shots fired at the police
at 1021 South Homan!

- Copy that. Shots
fired. Backup en route.

- Burgess!
- Kev!

- I got you, Burg!

- Go.

- Police. I got you, I got you.

50-21 Ocean, I got a woman
shot at 1021 South Homan.

Send an ambulance.

It's okay, it's
okay. I got you.

- Going left.

- Chicago PD! Drop your weapon!

- Stay with her till
her body's removed.

- Yes, sir.

- You okay?

- No.

No, I'm not.

- Sarge.

Got an ID on the shooter.

Robert Castillo,
long-time Letal member.

There's a reason he
didn't want us here.

- Uh-huh. .380
shells right here.

Same slugs that were
pulled out of Ariza.

- And there's no visible blood,

but they were cleaning
up a murder site.

- Found the cell
phone under the couch.

It's unlocked. Looks
like it belongs to Ariza.

Multiple text messages between
him and a woman named Loop.

Lots of flirtation
back and forth

and then she said
to meet her here

at 10:00 p.m. last
night to party.

She said, "Let's
have fun, get crazy."

She baited him.

It's a honey trap.

- I know a Loop.

It's a nickname for Mia Ramos.

We used to call her
that when we were kids.

Her middle name's Lupe.

Can I see?

Yeah, sounds like her.

She lured Ariza.

She must have left me that note.

- Dante, wait up.

Sure you want to go
solo? I can back you up.

- No, it'll be
better if I'm alone.

Mia wanted me to know. I
can get her to come in.

- Okay, I...

Look, I know you're
still new to us...

But if you need
something, I'll be there.

Okay?

Is there anything
else I should know?

About this case, Ariza?

- No.

But thank you.

- Dany, what the
hell is going on?

- I'm not talking
in front of your ma.

- Drop your hand off me.

- The note, Mia.

- The one on your car?

- Don't do that. Don't
play dumb with me.

I know you wrote it.

And now I have to bring you in.

- No. No, you don't.
- Yeah.

Did you think we weren't
gonna figure it out?

That you left it?

We know where Ariza was
shot. We know you texted him.

We know you lured him into it.

For all I know, you shot him.

- Are you kidding me?

- Am I?
- I didn't shoot anybody.

You know that. I
wouldn't shoot anybody.

- What the hell's going on, Mia?

- I just needed money.

- Money.

- I spent every dime defending
Quico because of you.

- So I pushed you into murder?
Is that what you're saying?

I pushed you into the game?

- I didn't know.

Navarro just paid me
to flirt with him,

to text him to meet.

He said he was gonna
shake him down.

I...

I didn't know he
was gonna kill him.

- Why the hell would
you write me that note?

- Because it was Ariza.

- And I hated him.
You know that.

- I know.

But I felt like you should
be the one to find him.

- My team, they don't
know about me and Ariza.

And when they do...

I'll lose my job.

- I won't say a thing.

I'm not the one who
betrays people I love.

I swear I wasn't in
that stash house.

- When's the last
time you saw Ariza?

- Earlier that night.

I flirted at a bar
with him, took off,

texted him from a burner
a few hours later.

- Okay. Where's the burner?

- In a million pieces. I
drove over it with my car.

- Yeah, well, here's a
copy of the text exchange.

That's you, right? Loop?

- That's me.

- And this plan came
from Sergio Navarro?

- Yeah.

- But you claim
you weren't there?

- I'm not claiming. I wasn't.

- And yet, you wrote a
note to Officer Torres

telling him exactly where
to find Ariza's body.

You understand how that
doesn't make sense?

- I overheard some drunk
dudes with Letal tats

talking about a body
drop on my late shift.

- You got names?

- No.

They paid in cash.

I don't know him
and I'm not lying.

- Hmm.

Look, there's a lot
of cops in Chicago.

Why go to Officer Torres? He
put your brother in prison.

- He's still the only cop
I've known since I was a kid.

I knew he'd find him.

- Mia...

you're looking at
first degree murder.

- I wasn't there.
- It doesn't matter.

Your texts lured Ariza to
the place he was executed.

I mean, you're staring at life.

- Or work with you.

Right? That it?

- That's it.

Look, we don't have
enough to bust Navarro

on your testimony alone...
It's he said-she said.

We need more.

And I think you can help us.

- We'll be able to see
and hear everything.

Just get him talking,
get him vulnerable.

You known Dante your whole life?

- Yeah.

- What about Ariza?

- What about him?

- You know him too?

- Saw him around,

heard the gunshots now and then.

- Dante know him?

- What if I want to
take off my jacket?

- Try to keep it on.

- We good?
- Yeah, good to go.

- It's not what we talked about.

- You know what Pilsen needs?

A real sonidero bar.

DJs, lights, no old
men in matching suits.

Bump, changa?

- We can bust him on
coke if we have to.

- No. I don't
want a bump, Nava.

I heard Ariza was murdered.

That wasn't a part of the plan.

That's not what I signed up for.

- Vega, wake up!

Refill.

- Coming up. Take it easy.

- Hey, I got a man killed.
I ain't good with that.

What the hell happened?

- My boys saw you talking
with Dante Torres.

Why don't you tell me what
the hell that was about?

- Don't trip. They
know you a cop.

- That was about nothing.

That traidor put my
brother in prison.

- I heard of him.

You know he used
to run with Ariza?

Torres was an enforcer.

Heard of a kid named Paco?

He was about the
same age as you.

- No.

I don't care about Torres.

I just want to know

what the hell happed...
- Paco ended up dead.

Dude was
waterboarded. Drowned.

Guess who did it?
- Get out of there, Mia. Now.

- What?

- Walk away, Mia. Right now.

- I said...
- I gotta go. I...

- Bitch, why you asking
me these questions?

Are you working for your
little cop boyfriend, huh?

- Crash. Let's go.

- Ocean, let's go! Let's go!

- Chicago PD! Nobody move!

- Get 'em up! Move!

- Let's see your hands!
- Don't do it! Don't do it!

- Hands up.
- Let's see your hands!

- Vega, we ain't
done nothing wrong.

Just chill out.
- Hands up!

- Gun's registered to the owner.

Totally legal.

- Hands up.

- Sergio Navarro,

you are under arrest for
possession of cocaine.

Turn around.
- Let's go.

- Put your hands on the bar.

- Put 'em on the bar.
- Let's go, let's go.

- You ain't fooling me!

You're a snitch!

- Give me your hands.

- I made a deal with
Ariza when I was 14.

- Not here.

- Sarge, I know
what you're doing.

- No. Stop talking. Okay?

Unless you got something that
affects this case right now,

we are not talking
about it here.

You understand?

We can talk about it
when the case is closed.

Have a seat.

- The hell is this?

I didn't kill Ariza.
- Mm.

- You got a dumb, lying
bitch who's playing your cop,

playing you.

- No, you played her.

You used Mia.

I'm guessing you used Vega too.

You lured Ariza to you...

then you killed him
for his territory.

- Got any proof of that?

A witness? DNA? Anything?

Even if you find something...

Even if you
make something up...

I know you got a dirty
cop on your payroll.

Your guy, Torres?

He was Ariza's enforcer.

Did anything Ariza told
him to, so go ahead...

try to book me.

I'll take Torres down with me.

- You think I'd let that happen?

I'll offer you help only once.

Talk to me. Now.

Now.

Then I won't be your enemy.

- Hell, no.

- Okay, what do we got?
- Nothing.

Nothing that puts Navarro
at the stash house,

nothing on PODs,
nothing on his car GPS.

- Okay, what about
his little lackey?

What about Vega?

- Okay, I got bus cam
footage from the jacking,

Camry used to dump Ariza's body.

Height and weight
are a match for Vega,

but that's all I've got.

ASA said it's not enough
for an arrest warrant.

I mean, we could bring him in,
but I doubt he'll flip on it.

- All right, listen to me.

There is no way that these two

are smart enough to
pull off a clean murder.

There is more evidence.
We need to find it.

- Yo, Mia's refusing
the safe house,

and she just damn
near broke a chair

trying to make that point,

so unless we're
gonna arrest her,

she wants to go home now.

- Okay, fine. Torres,
drive her home.

- I can keep looking
for new witnesses...

- Drive her home.

- It's just a few nights.

- I'm not staying with police.
- You'll be safe there.

- I'm going home.

I just want to go home.

Your team knows about you now?

- I guess.

- You gonna lose your job?

- I guess.

- You were just a kid.

A tiny kid who just
wanted to protect your ma.

Ariza used you. If
anyone's guilty, it's him.

- He was.

Yeah, he was alive
when I found him.

And he could barely speak.

But he told me he was sorry.

That's Officer Reid. She'll
be outside all night.

You call me if you need me.

Hey!

Down, down, down,
down, down, down, down!

You good?
- Yeah.

- Get her upstairs!
Call for backup!

- Yes, sir!

- 50-21 Ocean, I got
shots fired at the police!

1212 West Mackenzie!

I'm in pursuit of
a masked offender

in a red Honda Accord.

Lincoln Tom 8-1-0 Victor.

Sarge, do you copy?

- Yeah, go with your
traffic, Torres.

- I'm in pursuit of
a red Honda Accord.

Driver took shots at us.

It has to be one
of Navarro's boys.

- What's your 20?

- I'm northbound approaching
the 2400 block south of Racine.

- All right, we're
20 minutes out.

Coming to you. Let's go.
- Copy.

- If it isn't
Ariza's little bitch

taking care of him once again.

He owns you even in death?

- Car's coming back hot.

Stolen last night
on the 800 block...

- You know who I am?

You know what I've done?

Do you know who Paco was?

Let's go. Come on, come on.

Let's go.

- Answer me, Torres.
What's your 20?

He
must've gone dark.

- Kim, Kev, somebody,

I need Torres'
car GPS right now.

They keep the water running
in these old buildings

so the pipes don't freeze.

Let's talk.

- We should be right on him.

I'm not seeing anything.

There! That's his
car right there.

- Kim, Kev, we're at
Jefferson Junior High,

8503 South Loomis.

Torres may be inside
with the offender.

We're going in,
we're going dark.

Just get here, set
up a perimeter.

- Copy that, Sarge.
I'm ten minutes out.

- What happened to Ariza?

How long do you think
you can hold your breath?

- Ariza taught me this.

He liked his enforcers to
be waterboarding snitches.

Anyone who crossed him.

What happened to Ariza?

- Go to hell.
- Mm-hmm, okay.

What
do you think I do next?

- I ain't afraid of you.

- I will drown you.

Over and over and over and over

until you beg me to
have the water kill you.

And I know you will.

What happened to Ariza?

- I didn't kill him!

- Who did?

- Navarro shot him.
- Where? What part of his body?

- In his shoulder, in his
stomach, with his Ruger.

- And you helped him?

- Navarro called me
to dump the body.

I stole the car and I put
the body in the trunk.

- What about the gun?

- Navarro tossed
it in the river.

- Where?

- I don't... I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. I'm
telling you the truth.

I don't know, I don't know!

Cherry Ave Bridge,
Cherry Ave Bridge!

- Sorry, sir.

- Divers recovered
Navarro's Ruger.

- Ballistic match?

- Yeah, the CDOT cam caught him
walking away from that bridge.

Navarro's going away
for a long time.

- What about Vega?

- Made a deal with conditions.

Paperwork will say

that the gun evidence came
from an anonymous tip.

So what happened at that
school will stay there.

- That's me and
Ariza ten years ago.

I took it from his place
when we cleared it.

I was an enforcer for him.

He recruited me out of juvie.

He made a deal with me.

I did it to protect
my mother, my family.

I beat people for him.

I did terrible things.

Unforgivable things.

But I never
waterboarded anybody.

- Then what happened
to that kid?

I had Upton dig into it.

No record of Paco
exists after 2013.

- Do you really
think I killed him?

- I think anyone can kill.

- Ariza ordered me to kill him.

And I took Paco out
of town instead.

He's in Miami.

He goes by Julio Montez,
has two baby girls.

I let Ariza believe
I killed him,

and then I was done with it.
- Mm.

Gang like that, you
don't get out for free.

No.

You don't.

- They waterboarded you.

- I deserved it.

The things I did...

I deserved it.

- You really believe
all of this, don't you?

- Yeah, I do.

Aren't I fired?

- I'll see you at the district.

- What's this?

- Leaving.

- Where are you going?

- My cousin in Des Moines.

I've always liked it there.

- Navarro's in prison.

I can get you protected
detail around the clock.

- No.

I'm leaving because I want to.

I helped Ariza get killed.

I had left you that note
'cause I felt guilty.

I had to do something about
it. I couldn't live with that.

This one isn't on you.

- It's your home.

And I can keep you safe.

- I'm sure you would, Dany.
