Chicago P.D. (2014–…): Season 2, Episode 18 - Get Back to Even - full transcript

.

Lindsay, this is
my brother will.

- The surgeon.
- Most days, yeah.

How long you in town for?

I haven't decided yet.

Don't you have
a medical practice?

I took a break.

- Hey, sergeant?
- Yeah.

I just want to thank you
for this opportunity.

- I'm gonna do a great job.
- Fine.

What are you doing here,
nadia?



I'm gonna be a cop one day,
and a damn good one.

What happened?

I might not have told you
everything about why i left.

[police radio chatter]

Watch your step, they're
still flagging brain matter.

Truck driver?

Name's aaron mcintire.
He's in the wind.

No eyewitnesses.

Don't count on anyone coming
outta the woodwork down here.

The sedan
came back stolen.

What, you done this
before?

Detective? Found these
in the cab of the truck.

Crystal meth, looks like.

No. These are
jesus malverde crystals.



Patron saint of
mexican drug dealers.

They carry 'em
to ward off evil.

Could have fallen
out of someone's pocket.

All right, so it's
a truck-jacking gone bad.

You check the container?

We were waiting on
you guys.

There's a smuggler's lock
on the door.

This kid's
in the gang database.

Darius gifford.

He's with the
gangster disciples.

I'm guessing his buddy's
in it, too.

It's a long way from home.

I mean, this is vice lord
territory. You got an lka?

Yeah. Public housing
in the deuce.

(halstead)
all right, i'll roll there.
I'll notify the family.

Maybe not alone.

Hey, done this before.

Seek.

Come on, seek.

[whimpers]

There it is.

(antonio)
interstate traffickers,

They hide drugs inside
frozen strawberries.

Never seen 'em use sauce
before.

Yeah, someone's gonna be
looking for that.

(kid)
who's there?

Police.
Can you open up?

Can i see your badge, please?

Yeah.

It's the real deal
right there.

I'm jay. This is erin.
What's your name?

I'm denise.

(lindsay)
denise, is anybody home
with you right now?

Mm-mm

Does darius gifford
live here?

Mm-hmm, he's my brother.

Can we look inside
his room?

No, 'cause he said
nobody's allowed in his room.

We're allowed.

Looks like our doa came here

To change out of anything
identifiable.

[sighs]

Denise, was your brother here
with a friend?

Yeah, with andre
and another boy i didn't know.

They were yelling at him
a lot,

And andre had a gun.

Did your brother
have a gun, too?

Who else lives here
with you?

Just me and darius.

My mom is dead, and my dad
had to go to jail.

All right.

We're gonna
take a ride then, okay?

Hey, we got a problem.

Our two doas from the truck.
Darius gifford, andre davis.

Both up-and-comers
with the gangster disciples.

They changed out
at darius's apartment.

Them and a third guy
who was kind enough

- To leave behind his wallet.
- Mm.

That came out of the wallet
belonging to a charles gray.

We think that he was
the third occupant

Of the car at the scene.

(olinsky)
except charles has no record.

He's not in the gang database.

Unlike our
victims/possible offenders.

(lindsay) little girl says
they had a gun to him.

So sounds like
he was coerced.

Well, let's--let's find him
and ask how this wound up there.

Yeah, you got any ideas?

If i did,
i would've shared 'em.

(olinsky)
charles has an unknown father.

His mother is michelle post,
lives nearby.

Hmm.

All right, well, somebody knew
something about this truck.

Ask narcotics if
they had any chatter

About a $2 million shipment
coming.

And i wanna know everything
there is to know

About this driver.

Did he run
or was he snatched?

I'll talk to
michelle post.

Hey,

Who's michelle post?

Well, that's the lady that
voight's going to talk to.

Mm.

So you like 'em
with everything?

I've never had one.

You've never had
a belgian waffle?

[laughs]
nope.

Well, what do you think
now that you've had one?

It's okay.

Okay.

My aunt is always late,

'cause...

She's on drugs.

Okay.

Well, i'm gonna be
right back, okay?

Okay.

Let's have it.

I pulled strings
for this.

Do our public institutions
no longer teach penmanship?

Well, everything's digital.

And i really appreciate this,
sarge.

You're gonna be the coolest kid
in criminology class.

Is this
your first ride-along?

Yeah. 'cept the last time
i was in cuffs.

Was that a joke, civilian?
This is not a joke.

Burgess and roman agreed
to do this for you.

Their necks
are on the line.

This is a bulletproof vest.
Wear it.

This is
a smith & wesson 38 special.

Okay, that was a joke.
And a test.

You failed both.

Outside that door you represent
the 21st district,

You represent me and voight
and every cpd officer.

So pay attention
and do as you're told,

Which is to do
exactly nothing.

But do it well.

She's all yours.

Hey, are you ready for your
first day, officer decotis?

Ay-yi-yi.

(michelle)
sorry, i'm late for work.

I only got a minute.

Hey, how is work?

It's work. Either i'm
the best paralegal ever,

Or lawyers aren't smart in
real life like they are on tv.

Well, that could be.

Look, i know
why you're here.

Is charles in
some kind of trouble?

We don't know yet.

He didn't call you?

I gave him your card.
That's why you're here.

Have a seat.

We found his wallet
at the apartment of a kid

Who was shot dead
outside a truck

Carrying $2 million
in heroin.

No, no, no, no.
See, charles is doing good.

He just got his
commercial driver's license.

He has an interview
at the parks department.

And you gave him
my card why?

Just in case
he got in a bind.

But he turned a corner.

I told him how you
helped me out back then.

Let me ask you something.

You ever seen these boys?

Darius gifford,
andre davis.

Never seen them before
in my life.

I know that look.

I know what
you're thinking.

I'm telling the truth.

(tech)
found this gps device

Tucked up under the rear axle
of the trailer.

Thought you might want
to take a look.

Yeah, that's weird--shipping
company uses dashboard gps.

No, dummy, that gps
actually belongs to

Whoever was shipping
the heroin.

You would probably wanna track
$2 million of product, too.

Mouse, can you
reverse the signal,

Figure out where
it's being tracked from?

Yeah, it's easy peasy.
You call me dummy?

Yeah, so reverse the--
the dumb stuff.

Hey, you get anything
from the mom?

Not really.
Where are you?

Well, the truck
was never opened.

It's a botched robbery.
How does that happen?

I think charles
and his friends

Were riding behind the truck
as security.

They got hit
by mexican gangbangers--

Which explains the malverde
crystals at the scene.

Uh-huh. Kids go down
defending their product.

Charles knows the cops
are coming, so he runs.

He's either dead,
or he's hiding.

No, charles
ain't caught up.

How do we know that?

Well, his friends are
gangbangers, he isn't.

We can't even place him
at the scene.

I want to know where
that truck was headed

And whose drugs they were.

(halstead)
that's cool, but...

What i asked was, how do we know
charles isn't caught up?

Because i just said so.

Ruzek's trying to figure out
where the drugs were headed.

All right,
where's the driver?

We've got an alert out on him,
nothing from state troopers yet.

Olinsky's headed to
his apartment to check it out.

Move faster.

(mouse)
so the gps uses
a cellular connection

To check in with
a central data server.

That server holds
the account info, see?

All right, great,
i'll get a warrant,

Get the gps company
to hand it over.

Well, i already accessed
their server.

What? What?

Yeah, it was faster.

All right, so the ip address
used to check in

Is located at 2200 wabash.

See, the truck hits that
location once a month

And stays at that location

No longer than 30 minutes
every time.

All right, here, my turn.

Okay.

It's a gangster disciples
location.

There was an arrest there
five years ago.

Gangster disciples.
How does that help us?

Two victims, charles gray's
friends, were g-ds.

The heroin was headed
to a g-d location.

I'll bet they know where
charles is at. Let's go.

- All right.
- Let's go.

We should tell voight
we're rolling out.

Yeah, it seems like he's got
a lot on his plate.

You don't have to come.
Mouse, just text me the address.

We can't just move
on the warehouse.

There could be
20 guys in there.

Could be hiding charles
in there.

Why do you want to
find this kid?

You trying to
make a point to voight?

He wants us
to take the lead.

[sighs]

We're made. The whole block's
on countersurveillance.

(atwater)
all right, we're gonna try
something different.

We need more brothers
on this unit, man.

I'm your brother,
kev.

Yeah, you are.
Don't tell halstead, though.

He gets jealous
about stuff like that.

[chuckles]

Hey, what's up?
How y'all doing?

I know you?

I don't know.
You know a lot of cops?

Hey, don't worry about it.
Got people everywhere.

Let's go back inside
just for a hot minute.

I don't think
you wanna do that.

I don't think you wanna
do that.

I think we might
want to, bro.

I'm telling you, man,
it's not a good idea.

No, no, please--

Wait, wait, wait.
Listen, listen!

I'm telling you,
we gotta get outta here!

- I'm telling you we gotta...
- I said on the wall!

Wait! No!
Don't let the door close!

(ruzek)
get up against the wall!
Stay there!

(atwater)
both of you face
the wall!

Stay there.

Get his phone.

Guys.

Whoa!

- They're burning it down!
- Oh, damn!

(marcus)
i told you,
we gotta get outta here!

Everybody out!
No. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Damn!

What's wrong
with the door?!

It's locked
from the outside.

There's no other door!

This is 5021-ida.
Emergency. Emergency.

10-1, we are locked down
at 2200 wabash.

Roll fire.
I repeat, roll fire.

We are surrounded by flames,
holding two offenders.

(dispatch)
on our way.

The two of you
get as low as you can.

Get down, all right?
Keep your mouths covered.

[coughs]

Jay!

Over here!

Can you get up here?

[coughs]

Kev! Kevin!

Over here!

I got you.

(atwater)
there you go, jay.

- Get the door!
- Go!

Get the door!

He's out the window!
He's out the window!

- Come on! Come here.
- Come on. Come on.

Jay!

Let's go!

[coughing]

(lindsay)
hey! Hey!

Wait! Wait, what are y'all
doing? We helped y'all!

We told y'all what was going on.
You can't arrest us.

Did i say you were
under arrest?

I don't think so. Come on.
You all are coming with us.

Have a little talk.

[distant laughter, chatter]

Sherri, this is sergeant platt
again at the 21st district.

You are now four hours late
from our agreed-upon time

To pick up your niece.

When my shift ends
if you are not here,

I will place her with
child and family services

Which i do not want to do,
but will if i have to.

I made a call. It was stupid,
and it was dangerous.

I don't know who charles gray
is to you,

But i was just
following a lead.

Charles...

His mother was intimate with
an informant i was working.

It was 20 years ago,
gang unit.

One day she calls me,
says the guy's cracked up.

I arrive, he's got
a knife to her throat.

I shot my own c.I.
To save her.

She knew more
than my informant.

But she didn't want
city money.

She just...Wanted out
completely.

So because you're close
with the mom,

You're sure
the son is clean.

The only thing
i'm sure of, jay,

Is the sun will
come out tomorrow.

I'm just letting you know
i trust this woman.

She's only done good
by me.

So y'all don't know nothing
about a g-d shipment last night?

That's $2 million worth
of white,

And you don't know
nothing about it?

I know about a promise
you made.

You said we wasn't
gonna get arrested.

The promise is still good.
Do you have cuffs on?

(ruzek)
all right, do you recognize
these two?

Great! So you know them.

Look, no one outside of this
room is gonna know what you say.

Who tried to rob the truck?

They did.

They did?

They weren't trailing the truck?
They weren't security?

No, they wasn't even
supposed to be there.

They were supposed to be at
the spot to unload the truck.

They robbed
their own clique.

Them and some other dude.

(atwater)
this dude?

I don't know.

But tell you what, chief is
looking for whoever did it,

And he out 2 mil,
so somebody gonna pay.

G-d's put 10 grand on the street

For any information
that ids charles.

(mouse)
i looked into
his social media, his facebook.

There's no overlap with
the victims from the robbery.

He must know them from the bad
old days.

So maybe he's safe?

(halstead)
none of us caught it--

Charles has a class a license.

He knew how to drive
the tractor trailer.

All right, so he's a good kid
with bad friends.

He gets pulled into
their robbery crew

To be a getaway driver.

They were gonna hijack
their own truck.

The mexican angle--
what are we missing?

(halstead)
plenty.

Without charles,
we don't have a witness.

So missing truck driver's
our most likely murder suspect.

Charles and his buddies roll up,
driver starts blasting.

Aaron mcintire--47 years old

And, according to his trucking
company, a model employee.

A model employee registered
with a .40-caliber handgun.

Same caliber as the victims
at the scene.

(olinsky)
we checked his apartment.
His car was still in the lot.

We alerted drug interdiction
agencies along the highway.

Nothing.

I should be sitting across
from this guy right now.

Guy's hauling drugs,

Might've killed two kids
a mile from here.

He has two stepsons from an
ex-wife. His son keith is local.

Hit it. You and al.

What'd voight say?

He told me a story.

About how he gave
the mom a card.

And because of that,
we operate in the dark.

If he told you
what he did for me,

You wouldn't like it.

But the only way i'm here having
this conversation with you

Is because of what he did.

Maybe.

I'd like to think
i could handle it.

I hear you.

The kid matters to voight.
So he matters to me.

That's the gig.
It's simple.

A barking dog.
That's why we're here?

Yeah, it's a quality
of life violation.

Can i ask something?

You two were told to only take
b.S. Calls

Because i'm back here today.

That didn't sound
like a question.

Platt really did pull strings
to get you in our car.

The city's careful now.

Something happens,
and you sue us...

I'm not gonna sue,
because nothing's gonna happen.

That's kinda the point.
Just stay in the car.

We'll check on fido,
and then drive through

The worst neighborhood
in the district, i promise.

You warm enough
back there?

- I don't even hear a dog.
- All right, just sit tight.

[radio chatter]

Chicago police!
Anyone home?

[doorknob jingling]

Yeah.

[radio chatter]

Hello?

Chicago police!
Anyone home?!

[muffled yelling]

- Burgess.
- Oh, my god.

[cell phone beeps]

I'm a police officer.
You need to turn the car off

And remain inside with your
hands where i can see them.

[gunshots]

2113 emergency.

Shots fired at the police
at the 1900 block of west ohio.

(dispatcher)
copy that, 2113...

[gunfire continues]

[crash]

[wheels spinning]

[crash]

Requesting
immediate backup!

Use extreme caution.

Offenders may be
holding a citizen.

- Roman, go!
- Get out of the car!

Get out of the car!

Get your hands
out of the car!

Outta the car!
Get out of the car!

- Rogers, you got him?
- Yeah.

Here's the truck.
Come on, let's go.

Nadia! Nadia! Nadia!

- Are you--are you hurt?
- No, i--

- Are you hit?
- No, i think i'm good.

Let me check.

Roman left the keys.

Squad, disregard
the missing citizen.

(dispatch)
copy that, 2113.

We got 'em.

Yeah, we got 'em.

(keith)
yes, aaron mcintire's
my stepdad.

He called yesterday
from the road.

He seemed shaken up.

What'd he say?

Somebody was after him.

Said he messed up,
but wouldn't say how.

He called from
a wisconsin number.

I know the area code 'cause we
have a hunting cabin up there.

I told him to call
the cops,

But he said they'd
never believe his story.

He'd be surprised.

We hear all kinds of stuff.

We're gonna need the address
to the cabin.

Anyone else up there
who knows him,

We need their info, too.

Start writing, keith.

(mouse)
yo, olinsky, it's mouse.
Any luck in the bomb shelter?

The what?

Yeah, i just looked up
keith mcintire's house.

County assessor says that
he's got a structure out back

Like from the cold war days.
Legit bomb shelter.

Wait a minute.
There's one more thing.

Hello?

You there? What--

You got two seconds
to tell me what's going on

Or i'll put you
on your ass!

Open it.

(olinsky)
open it!

On your knees.
Hands behind your head.

Aaron mcintire?
Chicago police.

I need you to step away
from the door.

(mcintire)
where's my son?

He's outside.

Who sent you?!

I'm a chicago police officer.
My partner is with your son.

Now, step away and put
your hands over your head.

I didn't tell anyone.

(mcintire)
i was broke, okay?

A driver i know hooked me up
with these guys, mexicans.

I'd drive the trailer
down to texas,

They put me up in a hotel.

They load the trailer
the next day

And i just drive it
back up here.

2 million in heroin
each time.

I never see what's in the back.
It's sealed.

I'm coming clean here.
I-i am.

Oh, then tell me about
those two kids you shot dead.

I never drive with my gun.

I didn't shoot those kids.

All right, so then
how come they're dead?

This time it was different.

I get down to texas
and there's this--this psycho.

They want him to ride with me,
for security.

Must have been
a bigger load.

This killer rides in the cab
all the way back with me.

Doesn't say two words.

So your story is the mystery
mexican shot those boys.

Like it was nothing.

He's probably out there
looking for that third kid.

That's him.

You gonna find
this psycho?

No. You are.

We got some photos
for you to look at.

- You got it?
- Yeah.

Wow.

Sherri gifford, you're late
to pick up your niece.

Hey.

I got a lot going on today.
My nephew got killed. I--

Look at me.
Look at me.

Hey, denise, will you
go sit in my chair?

Can i try your pen?

Yeah, you can try my pen.

Come here, please.

Are you using?
Currently?

Search me, officer.

Yeah, it's sergeant, and i'd
rather you take a piss test.

Yeah, you walk into
my district high on drugs.

Happens all the time,
but not to people

I'm about to entrust
with a minor.

How'd you get here?

I drove my car, paid for,
thank you very much.

Wrong answer.

You are not transporting
that girl in your vehicle.

This is the last thing
i wanted to do,

But i'm gonna have
dcfs take denise.

You're not taking that child
away from me.

Dee dee, let's go.

Is that a threat?
I feel unsafe.

Do i need to have you
escorted out?

Look, dee dee needs her family.
Dee dee, let's go!

Honestly?
She can do better.

Dee dee, let's go!

Oh, she's all yours.

Hey, wow.

You look good up there.

Thanks for not making me
go with my aunt sherri.

Sure.

But where do i go now?

Hey, sweetheart, we're working
on that, okay?

[knock on door]

Yeah.

I wanted you to see this.

I kept digging
into charles,

And we found his phone
along with his wallet.

Mouse recovered some
deleted photos from it.

He's throwing gang signs.

(michelle)
that must be two years ago.
Look how skinny he is.

He was just messing around,

I think it was, like,
halloween or something.

- Halloween?
- Yeah.

So you're saying he's pretending
to be a gangbanger.

That was two years ago.

That's why i got us
outta there.

I got an entire unit
searching the city for him.

I told my team
he was a good kid.

You went looking for him?

No.

Or did you go visit him?
You got him stashed somewhere?

Look, i-i-i went
to the store!

I told you do one thing!

I said tell me the truth.

Look, i did!

I'm putting my neck out
for you, michelle.

You understand that?

You!

In here, right now.

Which one of us?

Oh, i'll get to you two.

You. What's your name?

Nadia, sir.

Wanna make sure i got this.

- Burgess.
- Yes.

You've been in
multiple car accidents,

The two of you had a squad
blown up by an arsonist,

And now this trip
to the firing range.

This is not avis.
These cars cost.

Action finds us, sarge.

Get out of my face.

I'll deal with fischer.

I don't think--

Go!

(lindsay)
truck driver id'd this guy.

Octavio ramirez is our gunman.

He hit on both fbi
and ice databases.

Wanted for multiple drug-related
murders in durango.

If his job was to secure
that shipment,

You better believe he's
looking for charles gray.

He got to send a message.
[phone buzzes]

This is good work--you put out
an investigative alert.

And got the fbi to add him
to chicago's most wanted.

(voight)
yeah.

Look, slow down.

It's okay.
I'm on my way.

He's in there.

If i didn't help,
they were gonna kill mom.

(michelle)
we got to get him
to a hospital.

We can't.

He goes in, he's in the system,
there's nothing i can do.

Yeah, where you at?

[whispers]
it's okay.

It's charles. He came home.

I need your brother.

Will's an awesome surgeon.

He's worked in worse
conditions than this.

Darius rolled up,
and i couldn't disrespect him.

He said we were going
for a ride.

Didn't mention any robbery.

(will)
okay, what we're looking at--

Two large caliber gunshots
to the right shoulder.

Charles, nice work. Cvs?

- Walgreens.
- My man.

Can you get 'em out?

No problem. Leave you
some badass scars, too.

(charles)
i said i wasn't robbing anyone.

They said if i didn't drive off
with that truck,

They'd come after mom.

You're safe now, baby.

All right,
who's assisting me?

I got you. I will.

Go in my bag, get the suture,
load the lidocaine.

I need a scalpel
and small forceps

And whatever gauze
is in there.

Here's your gauze.

Thank you.

Here's the kit.

All right, this is
gonna hurt, charles,

But i need to open
up that wound

So we can get those slugs out
and stop the bleeding.

Lidocaine.
[charles grunting]

All right, scalpel.
Here we go.

- I know. I know--gauze.
- [groaning]

That's it. I know.
You're doing great.

- Okay.
- More gauze here.

Michelle, sit down.

- Needle driver.
- Yeah.

Ah, all right, got it.

- [groans]
- it's all right.

A lot of pressure
just got released.

Suture.

All right, stitching
the wound closed.

All right,
and one down.

Okay, jay, lidocaine.

[groans]

(will)
all right, here we go,
here we go, that's it.

Got it.

[charles groans]

(will)
i know.
All right.

Here we go.

[floorboard creaks]

Suture.

(voight)
it's ramirez.
He's not alone.

Get him down in the basement.

I can't--second bullet
nicked an artery.

Look, they're coming.
At least one out back.

Will. Will!

If i move him now,
he'll bleed to death.

I need to tie off
this artery.

[glass shatters]

- Will!
- They're here.

(halstead)
someone's upstairs.

(will)
almost there.

All right, and done.
Let's go.

- On your feet.
- Come on.

There you go.
You got him?

Oh, i got him.
All right, you're good.

Here we go.
All right.

[gunshots]

[muffled gunshots]

[thudding]
[running footsteps]

Aah. Aah!

[crash]

Clear.

(voight)
hey, doc,
you back there?

Yeah,
we're back here.

All right.
You're safe now.

He gonna live?

He's gonna be fine.
I just want to pack the wound.

Come on, give me a hand.

All right.
We got you.

I blew it.

(lindsay)
no, you didn't.

Are you kidding me?

Patrol is gonna be telling
that story for years.

Commander fischer
screamed at me.

In intelligence,

That usually just means
you're doing your job.

What the hell
was i thinking?

You weren't.

Your instincts took over,
all right.

And they're good instincts.

You backed up roman
and burgess.

You stopped those two clowns
before they got away.

What do you want to do?

Do you want to keep
answering phones?

'cause it doesn't matter
to me either way.

I want what you want.

I want to be
a chicago police officer.

Let's do it then.

I got your back.

You can keep the pen.
You want it?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

You listen up.

You be brave, okay?

And i will see you
very soon.

Be good.

Okay. Okay.

Bye, sweetie.

You be good, okay?

Hey, so how much of what
went down tonight was,

You know...

We're a specialized unit.

Well, i'm thinking about
sticking around.

I talked to someone
at chicago med.

They need er doctors.

Whoa,
no more breast implants.

Son of a...

I did cleft palates, too.

But no one mentions
the cleft palates.

My bad.

It was fun for a while,

But, you know,
new york wasn't me.

I did three years of
touching up rich men's wives

And not a minute meant as much
as the work i did overseas.

Then why'd you bail
on the gig in sudan?

They threw money at me.

Plus things went south
with a girl.

Samara.
Oh...

If you could have
seen her, man.

Most beautiful girl
i ever met in my life.

You should have been here.

Mom was dying,
you were off partying.

You left.

I left to fight a war.

I came home.

I saw dad.

He, uh, said you haven't
spoken in a year.

Probably two.

That was the first tip
your mom ever gave me.

Probably saved four lives.

It was a big win
for the gang unit and me.

So i'm like, you know,
"let's go out someplace nice

And celebrate."

She suggests the minnow.

I'm like, "no, i mean, someplace
nice, with steaks. Gibson's."

- She's like--
- i like the minnow.

I say, "michelle, i've been
to the minnow twice,

"got sick two times.

And the drinks are worse
than the food."

Course,
little did i know--

Auntie francine
owns the minnow.

But your mom did things
for the right reasons.

Never took a nickel
when she needed it most.

Kept you safe in a place where
a lot of people go under.

So i understand what you did
to protect her.

You guys coming or going?

They're coming, i'm going.

Okay then,
you have an awesome day.

- Thanks.
- Thank you.

Enough to get you and your mom
on your feet.

Okay.

Thanks for everything.

Thank you.

Well, you two take care
of each other.

Yeah, you too.

All right.

Wait, i don't get it.

Why do you do it?

Help people
like me and my mom.

You know, i never really
thought about it.
