---
So i heard you got a rape case
where the victim got burned up.
Nurse from chicago med.
Raped, beaten.
Perp torched the joint.
Fire department!
Call out!
Help me.
Third-degree burns and
severe smoke inhalation.
If you're looking to
kill somebody,
Toxic smoke will
do the job fast.
(rollins)
okay, so confirmed victim's
a nurse.
5'5", brown hair, brown eyes.
And she was raped.
Think he did it before?
Unfortunately...
I know he has.
[indistinct pa announcement]
[sighs]
Hey.
- Oh, thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
So?
Third-degree burns
over 75% of her body.
The damage
goes through to the muscle.
Nerves are completely gone.
The only good news right now
Is that she probably
can't feel anything.
Okay, any chance
she'll pull through?
Even if we could hold off
the infection,
And we'll do our best--
Can she talk?
She's coherent at the moment.
So she can talk.
Look, we're here to find out
who did this,
So i think if she was able,
She'd want to talk to us.
Stay here.
All right, thanks, man.
Victim's sister's
on her way in.
Have olinsky and atwater
talk to her, okay?
- Hey.
- How's victoria? Any word?
I saw the crime scene.
It can't be good.
What happened?
Fire department found her
in a burning building.
She's got burns
all over her body.
Her skull was fractured, and
she'd been sexually assaulted.
This is--it's just horrible.
She's the nicest person.
You know her?
Just in passing.
She's a nurse
in maternity.
Any idea who did it?
Would i be standing here
if i did?
- Keep it short.
- Okay.
Thanks.
[monitor beeping]
[labored breathing]
Victoria?
Victoria, i'm sergeant benson.
I'm so sorry.
Do you remember anything about
the man who did this to you?
I was in back of my building,
Taking out the trash.
Okay.
Corner of my eye,
Man in hospital scrubs
Walking up behind me.
I turned.
I woke up,
i was in my apartment,
And the wall was on fire.
[crying]
It's okay.
Did you see his face?
[crying]
No.
He was white.
A little under 6 feet.
Okay.
[monitor sounding]
All right, that's it.
That's it. Out of the way!
Call the code!
(woman)
code 2 call.
[alarm beeping]
(woman)
all right, check breathing.
And prepping cpr.
- Push...
- [gasping]
[blows nose]
I'm so sorry.
Here. Sit here.
We are too.
I mean, it's--
it's hard to believe
Something like this happening,
you know?
Victoria was supposed
to come over tonight.
Um, was she seeing anyone?
No.
Was there anybody
in victoria's life
That you think was aggressive
at work or...
No.
I mean, that would do this?
I'm sorry, i just
Can't imagine
what she went through.
All that pain.
I just can't--
Hey, it's okay.
[crying]
So the first victim,
alice whitlock,
Raped and murdered.
Cause of death
was blunt force trauma
To the back of the skull.
Blunt force trauma.
She was a nurse
at columbia presbyterian.
Second vic, lisa hoffman,
She was raped and killed
in the same fashion as whitlock,
But she was found completely
burned in her own car
Along the harlem river.
Green nail polish was applied
to both of these victims
At some point during the crime.
Debra mcculloch was last seen
exiting a bar on 53rd and 3rd.
She was a nurse at mount sinai.
So all three victims
in new york, 2004.
Witnesses were consistent.
They all saw a man
in medical clothing
And his arm in a sling
approaching these women.
The victim from here,
she have green nail polish on?
Don't know yet.
Lab tech's gonna check
when the doctor gives the okay,
But there's no guarantees
we'll find out either way.
Her hands were severely burned.
She was trying
to cover her face.
Also, there was no dna
At either
of the new york crime scenes.
Any theories
why he stopped for ten years?
Sadly, we don't know
that he has.
So our suspect is
a male, white, 5'9",
Approximately 40 years old.
He's either in the medical field
Or, obviously,
posing as somebody who is.
There's nothing physically
distinctive about him.
All the witnesses,
again, were consistent.
When they described him,
They said that he was
average-looking and normal.
These details of the crimes
Have gone out to every news
and radio station in town.
We check city wide
and in the suburbs
On missile x cards
and information reports
On any attempted abductions
or suspicious calls.
[phone rings]
I'm gonna have mouse
triangulate the cell towers
On the girl's phone
and check all social media.
We can find out
if she electronically
Checked in anywhere
during the day.
Thanks.
I'll check
the sex offender files
And recently released parolees.
Good.
That was olinsky
at chicago med.
Victoria didn't make it.
Let's get to work.
[sighs]
We'll get him.
Yeah, yeah, we will.
[dramatic music]
¶ ¶
- Please hold.
[phone rings]
21st district, sergeant platt.
Yep.
- Mind holding?
[phone rings]
I need to put you on hold.
Well, i'm putting you on hold.
Start taking statements.
All these people
think they've seen this guy.
Work left to right.
Our left or your left?
Both. Neither.
Forget i said anything.
Just take their statements.
Hey, i'm so sorry i'm late.
Lindsay's 30th
has me totally scrambled.
Can you hold me
behind the desk for me?
Everyone in the metro area
thinks they saw this guy.
Whatever i can do to help.
The hotline rings
on your phone.
Since you were late,
i had it transferred down here,
So plant your ass upstairs
and start taking notes.
You got it. Thank you.
Okay, guys,
cross-match any details
From the chicago case
with ours,
And i'm gonna
need all of our files
Electronically scanned and sent,
like, yesterday.
We're on it.
Why don't you bring them out
yourself?
We could use all the help
we can get.
We're happy to do it.
Okay, guys,
then get on the next flight.
Bring the files.
Have rollins and carisi
reopen the investigation,
Okay, from there.
- Got it.
- Great.
Thanks, guys.
See you soon.
(ruzek)
so he was dressed as a doctor,
arm in a sling,
Hanging out around the building
just down the block.
This is five days ago.
- Anything? No?
- No.
Offender balled up newspaper
And shredded rubber,
piled it near the victim.
Then he left a trail of
the same combo to the back door.
Used lighter fluid
as an accelerant, lit it,
And then left
out the back door.
Some burning rubber
Dropped down a coax cable hole
in the floor, right here,
Which is why we initially
thought it started downstairs.
Okay, so the offender
drags the victim
Up the back staircase
into the bedroom.
There's no way we're pulling
any dna out of here.
No.
I heard whoever did this
has done it before?
Yeah, it's looking like it.
[scoffs]
[lindsay sighs]
Check it out.
It's nail polish.
What color did the offender
use on the victims?
Green.
[dramatic music]
Well, now there's no doubt.
(ruzek)
all right, listen, ask around.
If anybody's seen
anything like that, please,
Give 21st district a call.
We appreciate it.
Thank you.
All right, listen,
i'll start knocking on doors.
Somebody's got to have
a security system
Around here or saw something.
The g also hides cameras
all over the place,
So have mouse request
all the ip addresses
In a four-block vicinity.
Okay.
[phone rings]
Chicago police intelligence.
[phone rings]
Sorry.
Chicago police intelligence,
can you hold?
There's 150 places that sell
medical supplies in chicago,
So we're reaching out
To see if any of them have sold
an arm sling to someone
Fitting our description
in the last three months
And if there's
video surveillance.
Patrol's helping out.
Yeah, well,
we also need a list
Of every doctor, surgeon,
nurse, x-ray tech,
Dentist, orderly, janitor,
Anybody in the medical field
who wears scrubs.
Ah, don't forget
mental institutions.
Yeah, and check practicing
and non-practicing.
[phone vibrates]
- benson.
Hey, sarge, you alone?
Close enough.
What's up?
Well, i'm going
over the witness statements
From the debra mcculloch
disappearance in '04.
Detectives interviewed
a med student who knew debra
Named will halstead.
The name bumped for rollins,
so we did some digging.
It turns out he's a doctor
at chicago med right now.
Okay.
And his brother, jay,
He's a detective
in voight's unit.
I see. Go on.
And i'm guessing
you can't really talk right now.
Good luck, sarge.
Good to know.
Thank you.
(halstead)
all good?
Oh, yeah.
That's, uh--
That was just my son's nanny
checking in.
Okay.
[rock music]
- Hank.
- Olivia.
Hey.
I went ahead
and ordered you a manhattan.
I see, and i'm gonna go ahead
and drink it.
Cheers.
So i got to run something
past you.
Okay.
Detective halstead, uh,
his brother will,
You know him?
A little.
So my ex-partner
questioned him ten years ago.
He knew one of the victims
in the new york.
I'd like to bring him in,
you know,
Ask him a few questions,
Just check his temperature.
Without jay knowing
why you're bringing will in?
That's correct.
You want to ambush will.
[sighs]
well, i wouldn't--
That's okay. I mean,
you can call it what it is.
Yes, i want to ambush will.
Hmm.
Look, he knew the woman
who went missing in new york,
And now, suddenly,
the killer activates
After he gets a job
at chicago med.
I've been carrying around
this case for ten years.
I just need to see the look
on his face.
Look, i know
this is your house,
And i don't want
to disrespect you.
- That's why i just...
- Yeah.
I wanted to run it past you.
Just--
Let me think about it.
Okay.
Thanks, sarge.
We got it from here.
Uh, sergeant voight likes
everything just the way it is,
So i wouldn't be
moving anything around.
Well, i'm glad you told me.
I was planning
on stealing the copier.
I'm kidding.
[chuckles]
Awesome. After you, all i need
is ruzek to sign the card.
Careful with ruzek.
He's terrible
at keeping secrets.
Okay, so i'm gonna steal her
car keys to pick up the cake,
And if that doesn't work,
can i use yours?
- Yep, no problem.
- Awesome.
What's no problem?
It's--it's all
under control.
You better not be
planning me a surprise party.
I'm not.
I know where you live.
So this is everything pertinent
from our files
On the new york victims.
Sergeant.
Thanks for coming,
both of you.
- Of course.
- Thank you.
Hey, i guess that tip line
must have paid off.
Apparently some woman
just called over in bucktown.
She said that some guy
two weeks ago was asking
For help unloading boxes
from his car.
Was she attacked?
No, she got a weird feeling
and took off.
Get this, though,
the guy was wearing scrubs.
Hey.
Here he is.
What's up, baby?
- Man, you all good?
- You know.
You need anything,
just holler at me.
Where's my hello?
Hey, what's up, man?
What's up, man?
It's nice to see you.
- Good to see you again.
- How are you?
I'll go interview this woman.
Know what,
maybe i'll come with.
Hey, jay, you know,
I'm still trying to get
some more information
About this nurse
from chicago med who was killed.
Her sister, unfortunately,
wasn't much help.
Now, your brother's
a doctor there, am i right?
Mm-hmm.
Did he know her?
He said he bumped into her
a few times.
Okay, do you think
he'd be willing to come in
And maybe point us
In the direction of somebody
that knew her better?
Uh, i doubt he knows much,
But i can give him a call.
That'd be really helpful.
Thanks.
- Okay.
- Great.
First floor, right?
Yeah, first floor.
[doorbell rings]
Charlotte reegan?
Yes.
Hi, i'm detective dawson.
This is detective amaro.
You called in
the tip line last night?
Yeah.
Wow.
You guys got here quick.
Hey, charlotte...
Would you mind
Taking us through
what happened?
Of course.
Come in.
Oh, sorry about the mess.
This place is so small,
my stuff gets everywhere.
[sighs]
you know, when i was your age,
I slept in a closet
in new york.
- Yeah.
- 600 a month.
So what happened
two weeks ago?
Uh...It gets claustrophobic
in here.
So i went for a walk.
I was over by the park,
And there was this guy
standing by his car.
Said he needed help moving a box
to the passenger seat.
He had a sling on his arm
And doctor pants on
under a jacket.
So i walked over to help,
But when i got to the car, i saw
this, like, a carjack thingy
In the backseat,
And he was just
a little too, um,
I don't know, uh,
too friendly.
Too chatty.
Did you get
a good look at him?
Not really.
It was night.
He was a white guy.
He was wearing a cap.
Was there an emblem
on the cap?
No, just a black ball cap.
What kind of car
was he driving?
Subaru. Wagon.
I remember because my aunt
has one.
Dark green.
I didn't get the license plate
though.
I just...Turned
and gripped my keys in my hand,
And...Started walking.
If you saw
this guy again,
Would you be able
to identify him?
Sergeant benson,
this is my brother will.
If he insists on you
calling him dr. Halstead,
You smack him
upside the head.
Nice to meet you, sergeant.
And don't listen to him.
You've probably already
figured that out though.
Okay, if you go by will,
then i'll go by olivia.
I like you already. Hank.
How you doing, will?
He's got an hour
till his shift.
I told him
we'd get him in and out.
Of course. We just have
a couple of questions.
- Why don't we go in here?
- All right.
Hey, you mind if i join?
Um...
Yeah, sure.
Why not?
- Okay. Here, have a seat.
- Oh, all right.
- Thanks.
- Sure.
I didn't know her well.
Like i told jay, she was
just a really friendly person.
Seemed to be well liked
by everyone on the staff,
Although i would have to assume
there are other people
At chicago med
who could give you more insight.
Well, we were hoping that you
could do that for us, you know.
We're just trying
to piece together
Who she was as a person.
Of course.
Whatever i can do.
(benson)
did you know her
outside of work?
No. I just
started a couple weeks ago,
So i'm still in
the "getting to know you" stage,
Meeting everyone.
Been there.
That can take a while.
So while you're here,
Do you know this woman?
Wow.
Yeah, debra.
It's been a while.
She went missing a long time
ago back in new york.
(benson)
yeah.
How do you know debra, will?
What's going on here?
Well, we just found out
that will was in new york
At the time
of the other two incidents.
You just found out, my ass.
Sarge,
she's ambushing my brother.
You signed off on it.
I'm a little confused here.
Don't say another word.
What--what are you
talking about?
We're done.
Let's go.
Are you asking
if i did these crimes?
I am.
I didn't.
Don't say another word
until you get a lawyer.
I don't need a lawyer.
I didn't do anything.
It doesn't matter.
If they want to, they'll find
a way to stitch you up.
- Careful, jay.
- Come on!
Back off!
No, i saw what happened
to that girl,
And if it were my sister
or my daughter or my mom,
I'd want you to do exactly
what you're doing right now.
Ask me anything you want
anytime.
Appreciate that.
If you could write down
where you were the night
Of victoria's murder,
i would like a full statement.
No, no, no, he's not writing
anything down. Come on, get up.
- Jay.
- We're leaving now! Come on.
[tense music]
¶ ¶
[sighs]
[knock at door]
- yeah, come on in.
Will's gonna write down
a statement, i'm gonna read it,
And then i'll submit it to you.
He was home
that night watching tv.
Okay.
- Can anyone put him there?
- No.
He ordered a pay-per-view movie.
I'm checking now to see
if i can get the records.
You have any more questions
for my brother,
You can go through me.
Look, i understand
how you're feeling, jay,
But you're not running point
on questioning your brother,
And i think you understand why.
I'll get you that report
after i've read it.
[sighs]
okay.
Tip lines in new york
are heating up as well.
I need to get back there,
See what new information
has popped up,
If any, reinterview
some of the witnesses
From the '04 cases.
- About an hour and a half.
- Hmm.
Look, i hope
i didn't put you in a bad spot.
No, not at all.
I would have done the same thing
with one of your guys.
[sighs]
Except i probably
wouldn't have asked.
You'll let me know
if he checks out?
Of course.
Okay.
Sure you got to go?
[chuckles]
You'll be in good hands
with fin and amaro.
- Do me a favor.
- Hmm?
Play this one
by the book, please?
If this ever
goes to trial--
I get it.
You have my word.
You take care of yourself,
hank.
So you ready?
You ready?
All right, the witness said
that it was a dude
In a dark-colored subaru wagon.
Well, i was able
to access a security camera
On a private residence
near the corner of the block
Where victoria lewyn lives--
Lived, rather.
And check this out.
Ah, there.
Dark green subaru wagon.
And that was an hour
Before cfd responded
to the blaze in her apartment.
- Now you're talking.
- Right?
- You get the plates?
- No, i'm getting to that.
We can only read
the first three digits.
But there's only
one subaru wagon in that color
With those three first numbers.
Now, the car is registered
to elizabeth kendall.
She's 78 years old.
Okay, let's have the address.
We can get a patrol out there.
There it is.
2113 squad.
(dispatch)
go ahead, 2113.
Can you roll an assist car,
no emergency,
To the intersection
of throop and fillmore?
Tell them
to throw an anchor down.
We've located the vehicle
intelligence had the bolo on.
- Copy that.
- Look at this.
Be advised, squad,
We have a male subject
approaching the vehicle.
Hold us down on a stop
at this location.
Will advise
if we need backup.
(dispatch)
roger that.
[siren wails]
How's it going today, sir?
Very well, thank you.
Can i see your license
and registration?
Is there a problem?
No, you want there to be?
(burgess)
can you pop your trunk, sir?
(man)
uh, the car
is not in my name yet.
I'm--i'm buying it
from a woman.
We just haven't filed
the official paperwork.
There is a note
attached from her stating that.
New york.
Yeah, just moved here
three months ago.
Still waiting
on the illinois license.
Can you take the key out of
the ignition and hand it to me?
Officer, respectfully,
I would like an explanation
as for why you're doing this.
You're not entitled to one.
Now hand me the keys.
Sit tight.
Dude.
We're bringing him in.
He's clean.
Nothing outstanding.
No warrants, nothing.
We're bringing him in.
Okay.
Mr. Yates, it looks like
your car was reported as being
Involved in a hit-and-run
where a pedestrian was injured.
Do you know anything about that?
No, i don't.
I've owned the car
for three weeks.
Besides,
if you check the front bumper,
Does it look like
anything's been hit?
It's probably a false report,
But you're still gonna need
to come in
Until we clear this up, sir.
So if you could
get out of the car.
[sighs]
Home address, employer
information, and what else?
- Cell phone number.
- Oh, of course.
So what brings you to chicago,
mr. Yates?
Employment.
- Where?
- Medhelp.
It's an urgent care facility
on the south side.
So you were a professor
at columbia in new york,
Residency at presbyterian.
That's correct.
When was this?
Well, i'm sure
that file states it.
I'm asking you.
[exhales]
ten years or so.
Where have you been
since then?
Oh, all over.
Traveling.
Lots of time
in new orleans.
Now, oh,
there is a lawless town.
My job as a physician, you know,
there's always a need.
Always a spot to fill.
How'd you go
from being a doctor
At one of the best hospitals
in the country
To working
at an urgent care?
Man does not control
his own fate.
The women in his life
do that for him.
Groucho marx?
Oh.
See, i bet
you don't even know who that is.
You ever been to chicago med?
Oh, sure.
- As a patient or...
- [chuckles]
No, actually,
i have lunch there sometimes.
Recognize him?
He wore a baseball cap,
and it was night.
I mean, it could be him.
I'm sorry.
I can't say for sure.
Do you, uh--
you know this woman?
No.
Her?
Her?
Her, hmm?
- No.
- No?
No.
No, are any of these
the pedestrian
That the car i'm purchasing
supposedly struck?
That is the reason
that i was brought in,
Am i correct?
You shave your arms, doctor?
My whole body, actually.
It's for cycling.
Helps reduce drag.
You know, i'm new to the city.
What's the best spot
around here for cycling?
I don't know.
My bike's still in storage.
Am i under arrest?
I do have a general sense
of my rights as a u.S. Citizen.
You're free to go.
[tense music]
¶ ¶
(lindsay)
thanks for coming in.
Oh, i'm happy to help.
Hmm, do you have
any travel plans, mr. Yates?
None.
Are you kidding?
I just got
to your beautiful city.
I can't wait to explore it.
¶ ¶
Hello.
¶ ¶
Get a state's attorney
on board asap.
Give him the particulars,
probable cause,
And let him know we believe
this guy is good for it.
One of you figure out
Who's gonna be
the affiant on his phone.
- I'm on it, boss.
- We are gonna run this clean.
We're gonna run it thorough.
We're gonna run it by the book.
Everybody understand?
You got a sec?
Go ahead.
My brother ordered a pizza
The night
victoria was assaulted.
The delivery guy will vouch.
Jay, he's been cleared
as a suspect.
Wonderful. Moving on,
i told him about greg yates.
Get this.
They worked together for
a minute in the same hospital.
Yates was one of his professors
in med school.
He's got an opinion about him.
- Al right, where's will now?
- He's downstairs.
Go get him.
Sir.
He was one of those instructors
That made the students
call him by his first name.
Liked to hang out
at the bars we went to.
Some bought into it,
but i always got a creepy vibe.
Someone invited him out
to a party one night,
And yates corners me,
Starts talking
about who has the best ass,
Who he'd like
to have sex with first.
Debra mcculloch
was at that party,
The nurse who went missing.
Was it the night
she went missing?
No, i think it was,
like, three nights before that,
But they were both there.
Could have easily met her
that night.
(nadia)
lindsay, you have a call.
It's greg yates.
Detective lindsay.
(yates)
i can't help but think
That we got off
on the wrong foot.
(lindsay)
how do you mean?
Oh, i just feel like
i made a bad impression
On your coworkers back there.
I would--i would love to try
and win you guys back.
Are you free to meet
for a short conversation?
Sure, why don't you
come by the district?
No, just you and me.
The pavilion
at millennium park.
Three hours.
Thank you for your time
in advance.
I'm meeting him.
All right,
so voight will be able
To communicate with you
through that.
Now, i'd use your phone
in your other ear,
Assuming you like
to hear over 4,000 hertz.
- Okay, good?
- Yep.
Just stay
where we can see you.
I got it.
We'll be nearby
in case anything goes sideways.
Al, you guys
find a good lookout yet?
We'll be near the pedestrian
bridge a few hundred yards away.
Fin, amaro, you're on the ground
with ruzek and antonio.
[phone rings]
- stay sharp.
- Sergeant benson.
- Lindsay.
Fin told me you're going
to meet with yates alone.
(lindsay)
yeah.
I figure he's either looking
to confess, he's playing us,
Or he's looking
to do something stupid.
And even if it's the last one,
he's been at this for ten years.
It's--it's worth it if
we can finally bring him down.
Look, just remember,
if he's reaching out to you,
He's feeling the pressure,
all right?
He could be capable
of anything right now.
I'll be ready, sergeant.
Be safe.
Thanks, i will.
[tense music]
[sighs]
¶ ¶
Anybody got eyes on yates?
(voight)
halstead, you got eyes on him?
Nothing.
Wait.
(halstead)
i got him.
He's approaching
from the west.
Sorry i'm a little late.
You look great,
by the way.
So what was it you could only
tell me in the park at night?
Want to go
grab a cup of coffee?
It's too cold to sit.
Come on.
I'm harmless.
(lindsay)
we can talk right here.
No.
I want some coffee.
It's close, i promise.
Or you can sit here
And i'll see you
when i see you.
¶ ¶
(antonio)
yates and lindsay
are on the move.
We're shifting positions.
We lost sight of lindsay.
Yeah, i got them.
They're headed
towards the walkway.
We'll stay back.
I do this walk at night.
The skyline,
it's so beautiful.
It stuns me every time.
Hmm.
Why'd you ask me
to meet you in the park
If you wanted
to get coffee?
Oh, it's nothing nefarious.
I changed my mind.
It's cold.
You know what i think?
I think it's a move to assert
control over the situation
And over me.
Your sergeant has gotten
in your head.
Don't let him think for you.
You're better than that.
Have you been following
what's been going on in egypt,
Post revolution?
No.
Well, they finally
got rid of mubarak in 2011.
Do you remember this at all?
There's much fanfare
and jubilation.
The people are free.
The people have spoken.
But when the euphoria ebbs,
as it inevitably does,
What are they left with?
High crime,
raided antiquities, unrest.
See, you can unclench
the iron fist of that dictator,
And that--
that's great,
But you are not really prepared
for what's on the other side.
You know what they call that,
detective?
The law
of unintended consequences.
Why did you want
to meet with me, greg?
Well, you know what my favorite
example of that law is?
In hanoi,
under french colonial rule,
They established a bounty
for each rat tail turned in
To try and reduce
the number of rats.
You know what happened?
People started breeding rats
for the tails,
And that charming little country
Ended up with more rats
than it started with.
You want to know why i think
you wanted to meet me?
Because i'm 5'5"
and i have brown hair,
Exactly like all those women
that were murdered.
Is that so?
Why don't we talk about that
instead of hiding
Behind all this
history 101 crap?
Tell me what happened.
I know that you want to.
Who do i remind you of?
Your mom?
An ex-girlfriend maybe?
Come on.
More rats, detective.
Remember that.
¶ ¶
(olinsky)
we've got him.
He's headed for the taxi.
(voight)
you all right?
Yeah, i'm fine.
Patrol says he took the cab
to water tower place
And then he slipped them
once he got inside.
He's playing a game.
He knows it's just
a matter of time.
[phone rings]
- we'll get him.
Voight.
Sergeant.
Chief wallace boden.
[police radio chatter]
We've got another body.
[police radio chatter,
sirens wailing]
- Hank.
- How you doing, chief?
Sorry to see you again
like this.
Detectives fin and amaro.
- They're in from new york.
- Nice meeting you, chief.
Chief boden, house 51.
Pleasure.
This way.
Fire was started
in the bedroom.
(fin)
you said "was started"?
Yeah, the amount of damage
in the room,
Lack of accidental causes,
This is arson,
if you ask me.
I just can't prove that
right now.
Is there any way to tell whether
or not it was started remotely?
We'll search
for an incendiary device,
But even the device
survived the fire,
It would be weeks, maybe months
before any conclusion,
And that's if we are lucky.
That's why he was with lindsay
when it started.
Plausible deniability.
What is she, 18?
Mm.
What's this?
Green nail polish.
- Was it him?
- Yeah.
So he was using me
as an alibi?
That's right.
Yo, i got a location
on his phone.
It's an apartment
on the west side.
Get everyone over there now.
- Give me the address.
- Yeah.
Look, it's up to you, but--
But if you're with me,
you better know what that means.
[dramatic music]

[grunts]
Stairs.
Chicago pd.
Chicago pd.
- Clear!
- Clear!
Clear!
Basement.
¶ ¶
- [coughing]
- is that ammonia?
A lot of it.
Nothing.
Clear.
He was just here.
[sighs]
Hello.
[grunting]
[tense music]
¶ ¶
[car door closes]
[sighs]
[engine starts]
¶ ¶
---
So i heard you got a rape case
where the victim got burned up.
Nurse from chicago med.
Raped, beaten.
Perp torched the joint.
Fire department!
Call out!
Help me.
Third-degree burns and
severe smoke inhalation.
If you're looking to
kill somebody,
Toxic smoke will
do the job fast.
(rollins)
okay, so confirmed victim's
a nurse.
5'5", brown hair, brown eyes.
And she was raped.
Think he did it before?
Unfortunately...
I know he has.
[indistinct pa announcement]
[sighs]
Hey.
- Oh, thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
So?
Third-degree burns
over 75% of her body.
The damage
goes through to the muscle.
Nerves are completely gone.
The only good news right now
Is that she probably
can't feel anything.
Okay, any chance
she'll pull through?
Even if we could hold off
the infection,
And we'll do our best--
Can she talk?
She's coherent at the moment.
So she can talk.
Look, we're here to find out
who did this,
So i think if she was able,
She'd want to talk to us.
Stay here.
All right, thanks, man.
Victim's sister's
on her way in.
Have olinsky and atwater
talk to her, okay?
- Hey.
- How's victoria? Any word?
I saw the crime scene.
It can't be good.
What happened?
Fire department found her
in a burning building.
She's got burns
all over her body.
Her skull was fractured, and
she'd been sexually assaulted.
This is--it's just horrible.
She's the nicest person.
You know her?
Just in passing.
She's a nurse
in maternity.
Any idea who did it?
Would i be standing here
if i did?
- Keep it short.
- Okay.
Thanks.
[monitor beeping]
[labored breathing]
Victoria?
Victoria, i'm sergeant benson.
I'm so sorry.
Do you remember anything about
the man who did this to you?
I was in back of my building,
Taking out the trash.
Okay.
Corner of my eye,
Man in hospital scrubs
Walking up behind me.
I turned.
I woke up,
i was in my apartment,
And the wall was on fire.
[crying]
It's okay.
Did you see his face?
[crying]
No.
He was white.
A little under 6 feet.
Okay.
[monitor sounding]
All right, that's it.
That's it. Out of the way!
Call the code!
(woman)
code 2 call.
[alarm beeping]
(woman)
all right, check breathing.
And prepping cpr.
- Push...
- [gasping]
[blows nose]
I'm so sorry.
Here. Sit here.
We are too.
I mean, it's--
it's hard to believe
Something like this happening,
you know?
Victoria was supposed
to come over tonight.
Um, was she seeing anyone?
No.
Was there anybody
in victoria's life
That you think was aggressive
at work or...
No.
I mean, that would do this?
I'm sorry, i just
Can't imagine
what she went through.
All that pain.
I just can't--
Hey, it's okay.
[crying]
So the first victim,
alice whitlock,
Raped and murdered.
Cause of death
was blunt force trauma
To the back of the skull.
Blunt force trauma.
She was a nurse
at columbia presbyterian.
Second vic, lisa hoffman,
She was raped and killed
in the same fashion as whitlock,
But she was found completely
burned in her own car
Along the harlem river.
Green nail polish was applied
to both of these victims
At some point during the crime.
Debra mcculloch was last seen
exiting a bar on 53rd and 3rd.
She was a nurse at mount sinai.
So all three victims
in new york, 2004.
Witnesses were consistent.
They all saw a man
in medical clothing
And his arm in a sling
approaching these women.
The victim from here,
she have green nail polish on?
Don't know yet.
Lab tech's gonna check
when the doctor gives the okay,
But there's no guarantees
we'll find out either way.
Her hands were severely burned.
She was trying
to cover her face.
Also, there was no dna
At either
of the new york crime scenes.
Any theories
why he stopped for ten years?
Sadly, we don't know
that he has.
So our suspect is
a male, white, 5'9",
Approximately 40 years old.
He's either in the medical field
Or, obviously,
posing as somebody who is.
There's nothing physically
distinctive about him.
All the witnesses,
again, were consistent.
When they described him,
They said that he was
average-looking and normal.
These details of the crimes
Have gone out to every news
and radio station in town.
We check city wide
and in the suburbs
On missile x cards
and information reports
On any attempted abductions
or suspicious calls.
[phone rings]
I'm gonna have mouse
triangulate the cell towers
On the girl's phone
and check all social media.
We can find out
if she electronically
Checked in anywhere
during the day.
Thanks.
I'll check
the sex offender files
And recently released parolees.
Good.
That was olinsky
at chicago med.
Victoria didn't make it.
Let's get to work.
[sighs]
We'll get him.
Yeah, yeah, we will.
[dramatic music]
¶ ¶
- Please hold.
[phone rings]
21st district, sergeant platt.
Yep.
- Mind holding?
[phone rings]
I need to put you on hold.
Well, i'm putting you on hold.
Start taking statements.
All these people
think they've seen this guy.
Work left to right.
Our left or your left?
Both. Neither.
Forget i said anything.
Just take their statements.
Hey, i'm so sorry i'm late.
Lindsay's 30th
has me totally scrambled.
Can you hold me
behind the desk for me?
Everyone in the metro area
thinks they saw this guy.
Whatever i can do to help.
The hotline rings
on your phone.
Since you were late,
i had it transferred down here,
So plant your ass upstairs
and start taking notes.
You got it. Thank you.
Okay, guys,
cross-match any details
From the chicago case
with ours,
And i'm gonna
need all of our files
Electronically scanned and sent,
like, yesterday.
We're on it.
Why don't you bring them out
yourself?
We could use all the help
we can get.
We're happy to do it.
Okay, guys,
then get on the next flight.
Bring the files.
Have rollins and carisi
reopen the investigation,
Okay, from there.
- Got it.
- Great.
Thanks, guys.
See you soon.
(ruzek)
so he was dressed as a doctor,
arm in a sling,
Hanging out around the building
just down the block.
This is five days ago.
- Anything? No?
- No.
Offender balled up newspaper
And shredded rubber,
piled it near the victim.
Then he left a trail of
the same combo to the back door.
Used lighter fluid
as an accelerant, lit it,
And then left
out the back door.
Some burning rubber
Dropped down a coax cable hole
in the floor, right here,
Which is why we initially
thought it started downstairs.
Okay, so the offender
drags the victim
Up the back staircase
into the bedroom.
There's no way we're pulling
any dna out of here.
No.
I heard whoever did this
has done it before?
Yeah, it's looking like it.
[scoffs]
[lindsay sighs]
Check it out.
It's nail polish.
What color did the offender
use on the victims?
Green.
[dramatic music]
Well, now there's no doubt.
(ruzek)
all right, listen, ask around.
If anybody's seen
anything like that, please,
Give 21st district a call.
We appreciate it.
Thank you.
All right, listen,
i'll start knocking on doors.
Somebody's got to have
a security system
Around here or saw something.
The g also hides cameras
all over the place,
So have mouse request
all the ip addresses
In a four-block vicinity.
Okay.
[phone rings]
Chicago police intelligence.
[phone rings]
Sorry.
Chicago police intelligence,
can you hold?
There's 150 places that sell
medical supplies in chicago,
So we're reaching out
To see if any of them have sold
an arm sling to someone
Fitting our description
in the last three months
And if there's
video surveillance.
Patrol's helping out.
Yeah, well,
we also need a list
Of every doctor, surgeon,
nurse, x-ray tech,
Dentist, orderly, janitor,
Anybody in the medical field
who wears scrubs.
Ah, don't forget
mental institutions.
Yeah, and check practicing
and non-practicing.
[phone vibrates]
- benson.
Hey, sarge, you alone?
Close enough.
What's up?
Well, i'm going
over the witness statements
From the debra mcculloch
disappearance in '04.
Detectives interviewed
a med student who knew debra
Named will halstead.
The name bumped for rollins,
so we did some digging.
It turns out he's a doctor
at chicago med right now.
Okay.
And his brother, jay,
He's a detective
in voight's unit.
I see. Go on.
And i'm guessing
you can't really talk right now.
Good luck, sarge.
Good to know.
Thank you.
(halstead)
all good?
Oh, yeah.
That's, uh--
That was just my son's nanny
checking in.
Okay.
[rock music]
- Hank.
- Olivia.
Hey.
I went ahead
and ordered you a manhattan.
I see, and i'm gonna go ahead
and drink it.
Cheers.
So i got to run something
past you.
Okay.
Detective halstead, uh,
his brother will,
You know him?
A little.
So my ex-partner
questioned him ten years ago.
He knew one of the victims
in the new york.
I'd like to bring him in,
you know,
Ask him a few questions,
Just check his temperature.
Without jay knowing
why you're bringing will in?
That's correct.
You want to ambush will.
[sighs]
well, i wouldn't--
That's okay. I mean,
you can call it what it is.
Yes, i want to ambush will.
Hmm.
Look, he knew the woman
who went missing in new york,
And now, suddenly,
the killer activates
After he gets a job
at chicago med.
I've been carrying around
this case for ten years.
I just need to see the look
on his face.
Look, i know
this is your house,
And i don't want
to disrespect you.
- That's why i just...
- Yeah.
I wanted to run it past you.
Just--
Let me think about it.
Okay.
Thanks, sarge.
We got it from here.
Uh, sergeant voight likes
everything just the way it is,
So i wouldn't be
moving anything around.
Well, i'm glad you told me.
I was planning
on stealing the copier.
I'm kidding.
[chuckles]
Awesome. After you, all i need
is ruzek to sign the card.
Careful with ruzek.
He's terrible
at keeping secrets.
Okay, so i'm gonna steal her
car keys to pick up the cake,
And if that doesn't work,
can i use yours?
- Yep, no problem.
- Awesome.
What's no problem?
It's--it's all
under control.
You better not be
planning me a surprise party.
I'm not.
I know where you live.
So this is everything pertinent
from our files
On the new york victims.
Sergeant.
Thanks for coming,
both of you.
- Of course.
- Thank you.
Hey, i guess that tip line
must have paid off.
Apparently some woman
just called over in bucktown.
She said that some guy
two weeks ago was asking
For help unloading boxes
from his car.
Was she attacked?
No, she got a weird feeling
and took off.
Get this, though,
the guy was wearing scrubs.
Hey.
Here he is.
What's up, baby?
- Man, you all good?
- You know.
You need anything,
just holler at me.
Where's my hello?
Hey, what's up, man?
What's up, man?
It's nice to see you.
- Good to see you again.
- How are you?
I'll go interview this woman.
Know what,
maybe i'll come with.
Hey, jay, you know,
I'm still trying to get
some more information
About this nurse
from chicago med who was killed.
Her sister, unfortunately,
wasn't much help.
Now, your brother's
a doctor there, am i right?
Mm-hmm.
Did he know her?
He said he bumped into her
a few times.
Okay, do you think
he'd be willing to come in
And maybe point us
In the direction of somebody
that knew her better?
Uh, i doubt he knows much,
But i can give him a call.
That'd be really helpful.
Thanks.
- Okay.
- Great.
First floor, right?
Yeah, first floor.
[doorbell rings]
Charlotte reegan?
Yes.
Hi, i'm detective dawson.
This is detective amaro.
You called in
the tip line last night?
Yeah.
Wow.
You guys got here quick.
Hey, charlotte...
Would you mind
Taking us through
what happened?
Of course.
Come in.
Oh, sorry about the mess.
This place is so small,
my stuff gets everywhere.
[sighs]
you know, when i was your age,
I slept in a closet
in new york.
- Yeah.
- 600 a month.
So what happened
two weeks ago?
Uh...It gets claustrophobic
in here.
So i went for a walk.
I was over by the park,
And there was this guy
standing by his car.
Said he needed help moving a box
to the passenger seat.
He had a sling on his arm
And doctor pants on
under a jacket.
So i walked over to help,
But when i got to the car, i saw
this, like, a carjack thingy
In the backseat,
And he was just
a little too, um,
I don't know, uh,
too friendly.
Too chatty.
Did you get
a good look at him?
Not really.
It was night.
He was a white guy.
He was wearing a cap.
Was there an emblem
on the cap?
No, just a black ball cap.
What kind of car
was he driving?
Subaru. Wagon.
I remember because my aunt
has one.
Dark green.
I didn't get the license plate
though.
I just...Turned
and gripped my keys in my hand,
And...Started walking.
If you saw
this guy again,
Would you be able
to identify him?
Sergeant benson,
this is my brother will.
If he insists on you
calling him dr. Halstead,
You smack him
upside the head.
Nice to meet you, sergeant.
And don't listen to him.
You've probably already
figured that out though.
Okay, if you go by will,
then i'll go by olivia.
I like you already. Hank.
How you doing, will?
He's got an hour
till his shift.
I told him
we'd get him in and out.
Of course. We just have
a couple of questions.
- Why don't we go in here?
- All right.
Hey, you mind if i join?
Um...
Yeah, sure.
Why not?
- Okay. Here, have a seat.
- Oh, all right.
- Thanks.
- Sure.
I didn't know her well.
Like i told jay, she was
just a really friendly person.
Seemed to be well liked
by everyone on the staff,
Although i would have to assume
there are other people
At chicago med
who could give you more insight.
Well, we were hoping that you
could do that for us, you know.
We're just trying
to piece together
Who she was as a person.
Of course.
Whatever i can do.
(benson)
did you know her
outside of work?
No. I just
started a couple weeks ago,
So i'm still in
the "getting to know you" stage,
Meeting everyone.
Been there.
That can take a while.
So while you're here,
Do you know this woman?
Wow.
Yeah, debra.
It's been a while.
She went missing a long time
ago back in new york.
(benson)
yeah.
How do you know debra, will?
What's going on here?
Well, we just found out
that will was in new york
At the time
of the other two incidents.
You just found out, my ass.
Sarge,
she's ambushing my brother.
You signed off on it.
I'm a little confused here.
Don't say another word.
What--what are you
talking about?
We're done.
Let's go.
Are you asking
if i did these crimes?
I am.
I didn't.
Don't say another word
until you get a lawyer.
I don't need a lawyer.
I didn't do anything.
It doesn't matter.
If they want to, they'll find
a way to stitch you up.
- Careful, jay.
- Come on!
Back off!
No, i saw what happened
to that girl,
And if it were my sister
or my daughter or my mom,
I'd want you to do exactly
what you're doing right now.
Ask me anything you want
anytime.
Appreciate that.
If you could write down
where you were the night
Of victoria's murder,
i would like a full statement.
No, no, no, he's not writing
anything down. Come on, get up.
- Jay.
- We're leaving now! Come on.
[tense music]
¶ ¶
[sighs]
[knock at door]
- yeah, come on in.
Will's gonna write down
a statement, i'm gonna read it,
And then i'll submit it to you.
He was home
that night watching tv.
Okay.
- Can anyone put him there?
- No.
He ordered a pay-per-view movie.
I'm checking now to see
if i can get the records.
You have any more questions
for my brother,
You can go through me.
Look, i understand
how you're feeling, jay,
But you're not running point
on questioning your brother,
And i think you understand why.
I'll get you that report
after i've read it.
[sighs]
okay.
Tip lines in new york
are heating up as well.
I need to get back there,
See what new information
has popped up,
If any, reinterview
some of the witnesses
From the '04 cases.
- About an hour and a half.
- Hmm.
Look, i hope
i didn't put you in a bad spot.
No, not at all.
I would have done the same thing
with one of your guys.
[sighs]
Except i probably
wouldn't have asked.
You'll let me know
if he checks out?
Of course.
Okay.
Sure you got to go?
[chuckles]
You'll be in good hands
with fin and amaro.
- Do me a favor.
- Hmm?
Play this one
by the book, please?
If this ever
goes to trial--
I get it.
You have my word.
You take care of yourself,
hank.
So you ready?
You ready?
All right, the witness said
that it was a dude
In a dark-colored subaru wagon.
Well, i was able
to access a security camera
On a private residence
near the corner of the block
Where victoria lewyn lives--
Lived, rather.
And check this out.
Ah, there.
Dark green subaru wagon.
And that was an hour
Before cfd responded
to the blaze in her apartment.
- Now you're talking.
- Right?
- You get the plates?
- No, i'm getting to that.
We can only read
the first three digits.
But there's only
one subaru wagon in that color
With those three first numbers.
Now, the car is registered
to elizabeth kendall.
She's 78 years old.
Okay, let's have the address.
We can get a patrol out there.
There it is.
2113 squad.
(dispatch)
go ahead, 2113.
Can you roll an assist car,
no emergency,
To the intersection
of throop and fillmore?
Tell them
to throw an anchor down.
We've located the vehicle
intelligence had the bolo on.
- Copy that.
- Look at this.
Be advised, squad,
We have a male subject
approaching the vehicle.
Hold us down on a stop
at this location.
Will advise
if we need backup.
(dispatch)
roger that.
[siren wails]
How's it going today, sir?
Very well, thank you.
Can i see your license
and registration?
Is there a problem?
No, you want there to be?
(burgess)
can you pop your trunk, sir?
(man)
uh, the car
is not in my name yet.
I'm--i'm buying it
from a woman.
We just haven't filed
the official paperwork.
There is a note
attached from her stating that.
New york.
Yeah, just moved here
three months ago.
Still waiting
on the illinois license.
Can you take the key out of
the ignition and hand it to me?
Officer, respectfully,
I would like an explanation
as for why you're doing this.
You're not entitled to one.
Now hand me the keys.
Sit tight.
Dude.
We're bringing him in.
He's clean.
Nothing outstanding.
No warrants, nothing.
We're bringing him in.
Okay.
Mr. Yates, it looks like
your car was reported as being
Involved in a hit-and-run
where a pedestrian was injured.
Do you know anything about that?
No, i don't.
I've owned the car
for three weeks.
Besides,
if you check the front bumper,
Does it look like
anything's been hit?
It's probably a false report,
But you're still gonna need
to come in
Until we clear this up, sir.
So if you could
get out of the car.
[sighs]
Home address, employer
information, and what else?
- Cell phone number.
- Oh, of course.
So what brings you to chicago,
mr. Yates?
Employment.
- Where?
- Medhelp.
It's an urgent care facility
on the south side.
So you were a professor
at columbia in new york,
Residency at presbyterian.
That's correct.
When was this?
Well, i'm sure
that file states it.
I'm asking you.
[exhales]
ten years or so.
Where have you been
since then?
Oh, all over.
Traveling.
Lots of time
in new orleans.
Now, oh,
there is a lawless town.
My job as a physician, you know,
there's always a need.
Always a spot to fill.
How'd you go
from being a doctor
At one of the best hospitals
in the country
To working
at an urgent care?
Man does not control
his own fate.
The women in his life
do that for him.
Groucho marx?
Oh.
See, i bet
you don't even know who that is.
You ever been to chicago med?
Oh, sure.
- As a patient or...
- [chuckles]
No, actually,
i have lunch there sometimes.
Recognize him?
He wore a baseball cap,
and it was night.
I mean, it could be him.
I'm sorry.
I can't say for sure.
Do you, uh--
you know this woman?
No.
Her?
Her?
Her, hmm?
- No.
- No?
No.
No, are any of these
the pedestrian
That the car i'm purchasing
supposedly struck?
That is the reason
that i was brought in,
Am i correct?
You shave your arms, doctor?
My whole body, actually.
It's for cycling.
Helps reduce drag.
You know, i'm new to the city.
What's the best spot
around here for cycling?
I don't know.
My bike's still in storage.
Am i under arrest?
I do have a general sense
of my rights as a u.S. Citizen.
You're free to go.
[tense music]
¶ ¶
(lindsay)
thanks for coming in.
Oh, i'm happy to help.
Hmm, do you have
any travel plans, mr. Yates?
None.
Are you kidding?
I just got
to your beautiful city.
I can't wait to explore it.
¶ ¶
Hello.
¶ ¶
Get a state's attorney
on board asap.
Give him the particulars,
probable cause,
And let him know we believe
this guy is good for it.
One of you figure out
Who's gonna be
the affiant on his phone.
- I'm on it, boss.
- We are gonna run this clean.
We're gonna run it thorough.
We're gonna run it by the book.
Everybody understand?
You got a sec?
Go ahead.
My brother ordered a pizza
The night
victoria was assaulted.
The delivery guy will vouch.
Jay, he's been cleared
as a suspect.
Wonderful. Moving on,
i told him about greg yates.
Get this.
They worked together for
a minute in the same hospital.
Yates was one of his professors
in med school.
He's got an opinion about him.
- Al right, where's will now?
- He's downstairs.
Go get him.
Sir.
He was one of those instructors
That made the students
call him by his first name.
Liked to hang out
at the bars we went to.
Some bought into it,
but i always got a creepy vibe.
Someone invited him out
to a party one night,
And yates corners me,
Starts talking
about who has the best ass,
Who he'd like
to have sex with first.
Debra mcculloch
was at that party,
The nurse who went missing.
Was it the night
she went missing?
No, i think it was,
like, three nights before that,
But they were both there.
Could have easily met her
that night.
(nadia)
lindsay, you have a call.
It's greg yates.
Detective lindsay.
(yates)
i can't help but think
That we got off
on the wrong foot.
(lindsay)
how do you mean?
Oh, i just feel like
i made a bad impression
On your coworkers back there.
I would--i would love to try
and win you guys back.
Are you free to meet
for a short conversation?
Sure, why don't you
come by the district?
No, just you and me.
The pavilion
at millennium park.
Three hours.
Thank you for your time
in advance.
I'm meeting him.
All right,
so voight will be able
To communicate with you
through that.
Now, i'd use your phone
in your other ear,
Assuming you like
to hear over 4,000 hertz.
- Okay, good?
- Yep.
Just stay
where we can see you.
I got it.
We'll be nearby
in case anything goes sideways.
Al, you guys
find a good lookout yet?
We'll be near the pedestrian
bridge a few hundred yards away.
Fin, amaro, you're on the ground
with ruzek and antonio.
[phone rings]
- stay sharp.
- Sergeant benson.
- Lindsay.
Fin told me you're going
to meet with yates alone.
(lindsay)
yeah.
I figure he's either looking
to confess, he's playing us,
Or he's looking
to do something stupid.
And even if it's the last one,
he's been at this for ten years.
It's--it's worth it if
we can finally bring him down.
Look, just remember,
if he's reaching out to you,
He's feeling the pressure,
all right?
He could be capable
of anything right now.
I'll be ready, sergeant.
Be safe.
Thanks, i will.
[tense music]
[sighs]
¶ ¶
Anybody got eyes on yates?
(voight)
halstead, you got eyes on him?
Nothing.
Wait.
(halstead)
i got him.
He's approaching
from the west.
Sorry i'm a little late.
You look great,
by the way.
So what was it you could only
tell me in the park at night?
Want to go
grab a cup of coffee?
It's too cold to sit.
Come on.
I'm harmless.
(lindsay)
we can talk right here.
No.
I want some coffee.
It's close, i promise.
Or you can sit here
And i'll see you
when i see you.
¶ ¶
(antonio)
yates and lindsay
are on the move.
We're shifting positions.
We lost sight of lindsay.
Yeah, i got them.
They're headed
towards the walkway.
We'll stay back.
I do this walk at night.
The skyline,
it's so beautiful.
It stuns me every time.
Hmm.
Why'd you ask me
to meet you in the park
If you wanted
to get coffee?
Oh, it's nothing nefarious.
I changed my mind.
It's cold.
You know what i think?
I think it's a move to assert
control over the situation
And over me.
Your sergeant has gotten
in your head.
Don't let him think for you.
You're better than that.
Have you been following
what's been going on in egypt,
Post revolution?
No.
Well, they finally
got rid of mubarak in 2011.
Do you remember this at all?
There's much fanfare
and jubilation.
The people are free.
The people have spoken.
But when the euphoria ebbs,
as it inevitably does,
What are they left with?
High crime,
raided antiquities, unrest.
See, you can unclench
the iron fist of that dictator,
And that--
that's great,
But you are not really prepared
for what's on the other side.
You know what they call that,
detective?
The law
of unintended consequences.
Why did you want
to meet with me, greg?
Well, you know what my favorite
example of that law is?
In hanoi,
under french colonial rule,
They established a bounty
for each rat tail turned in
To try and reduce
the number of rats.
You know what happened?
People started breeding rats
for the tails,
And that charming little country
Ended up with more rats
than it started with.
You want to know why i think
you wanted to meet me?
Because i'm 5'5"
and i have brown hair,
Exactly like all those women
that were murdered.
Is that so?
Why don't we talk about that
instead of hiding
Behind all this
history 101 crap?
Tell me what happened.
I know that you want to.
Who do i remind you of?
Your mom?
An ex-girlfriend maybe?
Come on.
More rats, detective.
Remember that.
¶ ¶
(olinsky)
we've got him.
He's headed for the taxi.
(voight)
you all right?
Yeah, i'm fine.
Patrol says he took the cab
to water tower place
And then he slipped them
once he got inside.
He's playing a game.
He knows it's just
a matter of time.
[phone rings]
- we'll get him.
Voight.
Sergeant.
Chief wallace boden.
[police radio chatter]
We've got another body.
[police radio chatter,
sirens wailing]
- Hank.
- How you doing, chief?
Sorry to see you again
like this.
Detectives fin and amaro.
- They're in from new york.
- Nice meeting you, chief.
Chief boden, house 51.
Pleasure.
This way.
Fire was started
in the bedroom.
(fin)
you said "was started"?
Yeah, the amount of damage
in the room,
Lack of accidental causes,
This is arson,
if you ask me.
I just can't prove that
right now.
Is there any way to tell whether
or not it was started remotely?
We'll search
for an incendiary device,
But even the device
survived the fire,
It would be weeks, maybe months
before any conclusion,
And that's if we are lucky.
That's why he was with lindsay
when it started.
Plausible deniability.
What is she, 18?
Mm.
What's this?
Green nail polish.
- Was it him?
- Yeah.
So he was using me
as an alibi?
That's right.
Yo, i got a location
on his phone.
It's an apartment
on the west side.
Get everyone over there now.
- Give me the address.
- Yeah.
Look, it's up to you, but--
But if you're with me,
you better know what that means.

Nothing.
