Chicago P.D. (2014–…): Season 2, Episode 23 - Born Into Bad News - full transcript

Who have you talked to
since nadia died?

Well, she didn't die.
She was murdered.

You win, hank.
You were the better parent.

And you're gonna repay me
by staying out of erin's life.

If you wanna talk,
i am so here for you.

Hey, landon.

Mind if i sit?

[car doors opening]

How you doin', buddy?

Commander perry.

- Thanks for taking the time
- of course.



This is my nephew, carter.

Son.

I don't feel right
about being out here,

But our uncle swears that
if anyone can handle this,

It's you.

All right.
What ya got?

My cut.
I had to take it.

If i didn't,
they'd think i was a snitch.

Last week,
we came into chicago,

Hit a mid-level supplier
in englewood

Using a fake warrant.

Startin' to spill
into your backyard, hank.

These guys
are crazy, all right?

The last dealer we hit,
they beat him so bad,



I thought they'd kill him.

Well, what about your chief?
You go to him about this?

Like i told my uncle--
i don't know who i can trust.

For all i know,
they could be payin' him off.

You gotta get carter
from under them, hank.

It's just a matter of time
before they bust this whole unit

And take him down
the tubes with him.

[cell phone vibrating]

[male clears throat]

Why don't you
just shut it off?

I can't. It's work.

What'd you talk me
into last night?

Oh.
Everything.

[scoffs]

Remember when we went
to rocklahoma?

I remember using a fake id
to get in, and...

Limp bizkit opening.

After that,
it's kind of a blur.

I got tickets for this year.
What do you say?

Old road dogs
reliving the good times?

We could forget
all this nadia business.

I said
don't mention her name.

Lock it when you leave.

All right, here's the deal.

Commander's nephew's
caught up with some bad police

Out in jackson park.

This is sergeant dave roland
and his narcotics unit.

Over the past year,
they've been ripping off

Drug dealers
in their jurisdiction.

Until last week
when they crossed

Into our backyard--
robbed a stash house for 200k.

I got a buddy from high school

Used to work out that way
as a sheriff's deputy.

He said the motto on the side
of the jackson park patrol car

Should read,
"to steal and neglect."

Sorry. Traffic.

Sir. Ahem.

Sergeant roland
used to cpd.

Some of you
may recognize his name.

His father was deputy chief.

He had his son placed
in narcotics

Straight outta the academy.

Everybody knew
he was bad news back then--

Got jammed up,
excessive force charges--

Look, before he could
get stripped,

His old man had him shipped
out to jackson park

To save his career.

Carter.
He's been a patrol officer

Out there the past two years.

Nothin' but high marks.

About six months ago,
he got assigned

To roland's narcotics unit.

Thought it'd
be a career changer for him.

Listen, it's just
a matter of time

Before roland and his unit
realize carter isn't one of 'em.

So how are we gonna play this?

My office.

- Listen, before you say...
- Sit down.

Aaron, perry came to us
with this case

Because he needs
our help, okay?

It could get tricky.

I got a plan,
but i also got a problem--

I don't know
if i can rely on you.

Hank.

I can't count how many
times you've been late.

You look like you've been
up all night.

The question is...

Can i count on you?
Yes or no?

Yes.

Well, you wouldn't believe it
unless you were there.

Me and jackson took
a halligan hook

To this giant's head.

The guy was no less
than 6'5", 300 pounds,

Waving around
his little derringer.

[all laughing]

Can we help you with something?

Yeah--
i'd like to know how

A bunch of cops from suburbia
got the balls to cross over

Into the city,
rip off a dealer,

And are eatin' burgers

Like they don't have
a care in the world.

[scoffs]

Who the hell are you?

Chicago pd.

What is cpd doing
this far west?

Hank voight sent me.

We need to have a talk.

So you and voight
are tight then?

I gotta be honest--
i don't wanna be here.

This place bores me,
but we have a serious problem.

The dealer that you
and your unit robbed

Was under voight's
protection.

Whoa, you keep saying that--
robbed. You got any proof?

Don't waste my time.

You jacked our revenue stream,
so now you owe us.

We have a target
we want you to hit.

I wanna talk
to voight first.

You're talking to me.

No offense,
but i'm not doing business

With his messenger girl.

Great.
His cut just went up 15%.

[engine starts]

[laughter]

Oh. What's up
with chuckles, here?

[laughs]
nah, i just got off the phone

With my fop rep.

The suspect who committed
suicide in custody,

I'm officially cleared
for his death, so...

I told him he
shouldn't be nervous.

Well, i guess you won't be
workin' mall security after all.

But don't get your hopes up

For gettin' back
upstairs anytime soon.

I heard "golden girl"
is shining real bright up there.

Yeah, well, you know,
i started on the streets.

Now i'm back on the streets.
It's all good.

Yeah, see,
that's a winning attitude.

Yeah, he doesn't mean
a word of it.

Hey, olinsky,
do you ever check you messages?

Yeah, uh, how do i--
how do i do that?

How do--

A linda sovana keeps calling,
twice today already.

You say sovana?

Yeah, do me a favor--
call the woman back

If for no other reason
than to tell her

To stop calling me.

- Ready?
- Yeah.

- Oh, hey, kev.
- Hey.

I got a call
from the ivory tower.

Congratulations.

I appreciate that, sarge.

Hey we might need
a little extra backup

On this thing we're working,
so stand by.

Anything you need.

If i'm not out in, like--
ten minutes, you come in.

Okay.

Sergeant voight,
this is sergeant roland.

I don't know if you remember,
but we met once.

Well, you're right.
I don't remember.

How about a drink?

It's not a social call.

Well, i just gotta say,

I have nothing
but respect for you.

A cop who ran
the streets his way.

You got sent to statesville,

Gamed the system
to be released.

I mean, when i was
coming up in cpd,

I always wanted
to get in your unit.

Now here we are,
finally workin' together.

Not yet.

You're right.
First thing's first.

Your phones.

Can never be too sure.

Nowadays,
they got everything wired.

Here's for the phones.

I'm clean.

I don't think you
fully understand this situation.

You come into my city,
steal from me.

The only reason
you're still breathing

Is 'cause i don't
let debts go unpaid.

We're cool.

Target is a cartel stash house.
No real security.

They pay a front man
to shovel the snow

And pick up the mail.

He's sittin' on at least
ten kilos and 200 grand in cash.

- In and out in five minutes.
- You hit it, we'll split it.

35 your end, 65 us.

Sounds like me and my guys
are doing

Most of the work,
so, i'd say that's 65 my way.

You can have the whole thing.

But then you gotta get
out of chicago alive.

35's good this time.

But 50/50 next time.

Let's just worry about this job.
Goes good, we'll talk.

- Hey.
- Hey.

You left
without me this morning.

Yeah, no, i had
some paperwork i had

To catch up on, so i thought
i'd get an early start.

- You had paperwork.
- Yeah.

Look, i'm upstairs now.
You have to get used to it.

Don't read into it.
Wha--i had paperwork.

[sighing] okay.

Hey, how much cash you got?

On me?

No, in the bank.

I'm lookin' for a few partners
to go in on an investment.

What do you know
about investing?

Zip.
But i know boxing.

It's matador's gym,
you've been there.

Yeah.

The owner and i, sergeant
hopkins, we go way back.

He's on underwater
with the place, needs to sell.

How much you need?

100k total.
I already talked to roland,

So i figure if we all put in
at least 25 for a down payment,

Do i look like
a rockefeller to you?

Well, whatever
you can come up with.

Narcotics have been sitting
on a cartel stash house

For several weeks.

Sergeant mccants has been
kind enough

To let us use it
as our bait house.

So we take down a few bad cops

And get some dope
off the streets.

Now we gotta
make this look good.

So as soon as we move in,
we cuff carter and lindsay

And take 'em to lock up, too.

- Got it?
- Got it.

This is it.

- Why are you all dolled up?
- Because voight says i go in.

Just to make sure you
get the count right.

If it goes off,
you better be ready.

Everyone in position.

Ready and waiting.

We got eyes.

- Don't you move!
Don't you move! Hands up!

Papi!
[yelp]

No! Baby!
What do you want?

Don't play dumb.
You give up the stash

Or you both die.

Please,
just don't hurt her.

- Come on!
- Where!

The oven.

- The cash! Where's the cash?
- I don't know.

- I don't know!
- Come on, chico, come on!

Okay. The fridge.

What, do you got it on ice?

- Got it.
- Count it.

Uh, there's 100k,
give or take.

- Where's the rest?
- I don't know!

Daddy!

- Baby! Wait! Wait!
- Whoa! Whoa!

Relax! Everybody relax!

- Get down. Get down!
[indistinct shouting]

They always hide it
in the kids room.

All right, tear it apart.

- Please!
- Come here, baby.

- Hold her, please. Hold her!
- On your knees. On your knees!

Guys! Maybe our intel was off.

Boss, there's no cash here.

- No, no, no, no, no!
[girl screams]

- No! No!
- Don't move!

We know there' more.
You either tell me, or she dies.

There's no more!
[woman crying]

No, there's more.

- Damn!
- There is no more!

Let her go.

- What are you doin'?
- Let her go.

- What, are you gonna shoot me?
- We don't do it this way.

This is not your show.
You take a step back.

[gun cocks]
where's the money?

- Where's the money?
- Sarge!

Shots fired!
Everybody move in.

[engine roars]

- Drop your weapon!
- Put your gun down!

- Stand down!
- I will drop you.

- Don't move!
- Stand down.

Antonio, you don't
need to do this.

Drop your weapon.

Get up!

- You rat piece of--
- shut-up!

You're under arrest.

Get him out of here!

You're breakin' my heart.

You'll be shipped down
to 26 and cal and put

In protective custody
until the hearing, tomorrow.

If carter's the ace
up your sleeve,

It won't be
much of a hearing.

Hey, ask him
about 219 westlake terrace.

Aah! Unh!

I already got a call
from internal affairs

About you doin a urine drop.

Yeah, i'll do it
after the hearing.

Well, it's mandatory
you get tested within 12 hours

Of firing your weapon.
I wanna make sure

Every t's crossed
in this case, so...

Make sure you
head down there first thing.

Okay.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Hey, you should probably
lay low for a bit,

Until this
whole thing blows over.

All right, he's gonna stay
with me out in st. Charles.

Hey, what happened
to 219 westlake terrace?

What do you mean?

You tellin' me
everything i need to know?

I got nothing to hide here.
I came to you, sergeant.

Tell me the truth, hm?

You stick your hand
in the cookie jar?

Absolutely not.

So why'd roland
mention that address?

To get your head spinnin'.
Obviously it's workin'.

Mm-hmm.

Sergeant hopkins sank his
last 10k into this place.

Still needs to get out
from under it.

How long
you been coming here for?

I was 14 when i first
walked in

On my way home from work.

Well, work was runnin'
dime bags

For an sgd named hard boy,
he lived upstairs.

He used to slap me around.

But after a few lessons,
i showed him.

I was at that point, you know?

Fork in the road.

Than this place
introduced me

To the police,
youth boxing league.

Saved my life.

And it can do the same
for a lot of other kids.

Listen, man.
All i can do is 10 grand.

I can buy in for 5.

[sighs]
that's not gonna be enough.

It's funny.
I almost just called you frank.

Well, when did you
find out i was a cop?

It's been 16 years.

No "good to see you"?

Well, i'm not totally sure

This is a good thing.

I saw my cousin jimmy
a few days ago.

Mm-hmm.

You remember jimmy?

He's out now and, uh--
he told me that he found out

You were an undercover.

Well, that case was only
supposed to last

A couple of weeks,
but instead it went a year.

Were you married then
when we were together?

I was.

Why--why'd you call, linda?

Hm?

You remember when i vouched
for you that one time?

When cheero's crew was
asking about you?

Mm-hmm.

I saved your ass.
Would you agree?

Yeah, i would.

Good.
Just wanted to make sure

You didn't forget that.

Why did you sidestep
the proper channels

When conducting
this investigation

Sir, you know how my team works.

We dive in head first.

I had specific intel that
sergeant roland and his unit

Was rippin' off drug dealers
for their money and narcotics.

I would like to make it clear
that me and my guys

Would not have been
at that house,

Or anywhere near chicago
for that matter,

If it hadn't been
for detective linds--

Where is detective lindsay,
who shot my client?

Sergeant?

Detective lindsay got pulled
into another case.

Until she goes on record
and we get a sworn statement

From carter perry,
you have no case.

Sergeant roland and his team
are being released

Without charges
at this time.

- Perfect.
- Yes.

- Congratulations, boys.

Bathroom is right over there.

Thanks.

How'd it go?

Well, they hired joe the shark
as their lawyer.

That should
give you some idea.

So they're gonna walk?

For now.

We need to get carter
and lindsay on record,

Or we don't have a case.

Can i help you
with something, bunny?

Ah, i just dropped by
to see erin.

- She's not here.
- Oh.

Okay, well,
i wanna leave here something.

I had this framed
for her.

They look
like sisters, don't they?

You're sick?

I'm sick?

Okay, hank.
Tell me--tell me

What i did wrong this time.

Erin is grieving.

She's in a vulnerable space.

But that's exactly
where you want her, isn't it?

Easier for you
to get your hooks into her?

Listen to me--

Don't ever come back here.

Come on.
I'll show you out.

You know who's sick?
You are sick.

- Yeah?
- They are best friends,

And you're
making this about me?

Get her outta here.
- Come on.

[telephone rings]

One sec.
Hey, boss?

Yeah?

Commander perry's
on the line.

Commander?

Hank--
look, i'm with carter. Uh--

After what went down today,
he'd having second thoughts

About going on record.
He wants out completely.

Listen...

Without his testimony
these guys go free.

Look, man,
they're free already.

(hank)
look, i'll talk to him.
Where are you?

On wacker.
What about miller's pub?

(hank)
i'll be there at 10:00.

Perry?

Perry!
[gunshots over phone]

All right,
let's back it up, people.

Let's back it up.
Right there behind the yellow.

Oh, man.

This is a tough one.

There were two shooters,
approached on foot.

Spoke to several witnesses
who said they were

They were wearin' red and black.

Hoodies pulled up, so nobody got
a good look at their faces.

Red and black.
Vice lord colors.

- Carter?
- He's over there.

I haven't spoken
to him yet.

Hey, how is he?

Well, we gotta take him
to chicago med for surgery,

But i'd say he's
pretty damn lucky.

- Give me a minute.
- No, no, no. Hey, hey.

Sir, no, we gotta
get him outta here.

I tried
to get a shot off.

- It happened so fast.
- Just listen to me.

The shooters--
were they vice lords?

No, no.
One of 'em i recognized.

They call him "drug store".
He rolls with the latin kings.

The colors they were flashin'--
it was just camouflage.

Why would he come after you?

I don't know.

You got something to tell me,
you better tell me right now.

Westlake terrace.

It's the latin kings stash house
out in jackson park.

The one time i set it up,

Drug store and his boys
were dealin' out of it.

A couple weeks ago, we hit it.

Roland and them,
they grabbed a few kilos.

It's the only time
i took money.

You used your uncle
to cover your own ass.

Now, he's dead--
because he want to bat for you.

You of all people
have to understand, right?

Wrong.

We get a location
on the shooter yet?

Still workin' on it.

Everything okay?

I came as soon as i
got your message.

Which one?
I left three.

Erin?

Erin.

I'm not your boss.

I don't care where you were.

But know that i am
looking out for you.

Whatever you got
goin' on upstairs...

You gotta face it head-on.

[exhales]

Thanks.

I just got off the phone

With commander perry's
wife, jeanette.

[sighs]
man retires after 30 years,

And a few months later,
he's gunned down in the street.

Anyway...

I'll get you all details
on the services when i get 'em.

- Thanks, trudy.
- Yeah.

My office.

I still can't believe
this is about perry.

I got a call from iad.

Detective karen o'toole says

You never took the drug test.

It's not optional, erin.

I take that test,
i'm gonna fail.

I had a few drinks
the other night and this guy--

I asked if i could
depend on you, you said yes.

We got perry's killers
out there somewhere,

And i gotta worry about you.

- Hank, just hear me out.
- Every cop i know...

Eventually goes
through a bad patch.

Some recover
and get through it.

The ones who don't...

They walk around wondering
what happened to their careers.

You're at the point
where you gotta figure it out.

It was before perry
came in, all right?

All i did was party
a little too hard.

So you're back
to your old habits.

No--

The guy i was with had
some pharmaceuticals, and...

The nights fuzzy, so,
i'm thinkin' maybe,

At some point,
i went to the bathroom,

And he slipped something
in my drink, but i don't know.

I had a lot to drink, and--

You know who you sound like,
right now?

Your mother.

Look, i'll reach out
to a doc i know,

He'll--
he'll say you've been

Dealin' with depression
and back date a prescription

For whatever pills you took.

But i can't get into it now.

Until this is solved,
you're off the clock.

Reached out to a ci of mine.

Got a location on this
latin king nicknamed drugstore.

All right.
Round everyone up.

He's not at his spot
in jackson park.

He's in the city.

Turns out he's
hold up in the cave.

That club
over on the westside?

Yeah, it's being protected
by his uncle.

High up
in the chicago kings.

This won't be our typical
snatch and grab.

All right.

[overlapping chatter]

(male)
we've got two guys on the roof.

I see 'em.
Get ready.

[glass shatters]

- Hey!
- Let's get out of here!

In the parking lot!

[woman screams]

Whoa!
Call the fire department.

[dance music playing]

¶ ¶

- Everybody clear out of here.
- Cpd! Get out! Move, now!

Get out!
Get out!

You two, come on.
Come on, let's go.

Gun! Get down!

- Come on, move it!
- Hey, hey, hey!

Where do you think
you're going?

Get out.

- [coughing]
- on your stomach.

- Turn around, get down!
- Hands behind your back.

You killed a friend of mine.

I wanna know why.
I wanna know why!

Think you're gonna
make it outta here, hey?

Give me the torch.

You think a little burn
gonna make me talk?

You know what, bitch?
You don't have to talk...

'cause your boyfriend's
gonna do it for ya.

Come here.

You go after carter
because he robbed you,

Or 'cause roland
gave you orders.

You think i'm playin'?

[growling]

Yeah.
[screaming]

Okay, it was roland!

He made us a deal!

What kinda deal?

Roland said he'd put
a drug case on us.

Bury us in statesville
for 20 years.

All we had to do was take out
that snitch, carter.

He said they'd take care
of the other bitch themselves.

What bitch?
What bitch?

Some lady cop
he said set 'em up.

All right, get down.

[cell phone dialing]

Yo, erin.

Hey, landon.

Look, thanks
for the fun time

The other night, but...

Do you see me
on one knee?

I just thought
we could do some shots.

It has not
been a good day.

One beer. Come on,
you can tell me all about it.

All right.

I gotta say--
a woman with a gun

Really turns me on.

Uhhh...Yeah.

Still got that ticket
to rocklahoma for ya.

[erin grunts]
you should come.

Yeah, maybe next year.

Unh!

Okay.

You should have never
set foot in jackson park.

- Atwater.
You anywhere near erin's?

Yeah, we're
on 14th and wabash,

Like five minutes away.

Get over there, right now.

You see any
of those jackson park cops

Anywhere near there,
you take them out.

Get up!
Get over there.

You really think you're
gonna kill a chicago cop

And get away with it?

Keep your mouth shut.

There's an unmarked squad--
it's not ours.

This'll look
like a bad domestic.

Drink it.

- Aw, come on, man.
- Drink it!

[cocks gun]
chicago pd!

Let me see your hands.

Hey, we're all
on the same team here, officer.

If i don't see your hands,
this is gonna get messy.

Roland didn't say nothin'
about droppin' two bodies.

Don't be a punk, all right?

Let's do this think
and get outta here.

Yo, sarge.
Yeah, we got a problem--

- She's not alone
- cpd!

[silenced gunshots]
[gunshot]

[groaning]

You move, you die.
You hear me?

Hmm? Do you understand me?

You straight, erin?

Thanks, kev.

[tires screeching]

Get on your knees!
Hands behind your back!

Atwater's inside.

It's okay.

- Erin!
- We're okay!

Hold this, hold this.
Here.

You had us worried there
for a sec.

Where's roland?

You call me an ambulance yet?

- I said...
- [screams]

Where's roland?

[gun cocking]

I sent my girl
out with a friend.

They like to play
the slots at the river boat.

So, it's just you and me.

Hmm.

Looks like you
had a pretty good run.

Over a million.

I was gonna wack it up
with my guys, but it looks like

They won't
be needin' it anymore.

So how about it, voight?

50/50.

Let me walk,

And half a million dollars
is yours.

You call a hit on two cops.

You come after one of my own.

You really think you can
buy your way outta that?

I'm just takin' a page
from the hank voight playbook.

You have no idea who i am.

Sure i do.

Back when i was a rookie,
i heard all about how you were

The only cop who had the balls
to make sonny gags and his crew

Pay street tax.

Everyone knew,
you don't pay up to voight,

You end up in the river.

You were a legend.

If i was the cop you think
i am, you'd already be dead.

There'd be no million
on the table.

Come on.

You and me are
the only ones in this room.

Take the money.

You're gonna dial 911

And you're gonna
turn yourself in.

I'm gonna watch
you surrender your badge.

You really think
this is gonna redeem you?

I'm givin' you a chance.

You move your hand any lower,

You're gonna be breathin'
outta your forehead.

Make the call.

Watch your head.

Atwater.

That was a hell
of a save last night.

You and roman both.

That means a lot.
It really does, sarge.

I'll let sean know.

I'll tell him myself
when i see him.

Right now,
i need you change

Outta that uniform.
Get your ass back upstairs.

Damn, thanks.

I mean, sarge,
what i did last night.

I woulda done regardless.
It was lindsay.

I know.

Oh, i'm not piling on.
You're a hero, et cetera.

Change out
like the sergeant said

And let's get back
to work, all right?

Copy that.

Hey.

Don't think she came in.

So, how are things
with matadors.

Ah. Between me,
halstead, and roman,

We only have half
of what we need.

Um, i put in a call
to the credit union--

See about taking some money
out of my 401k.

Courtesy of jackson park.

Hey. Police youth league...

Saved a lot of kids.

Keep it goin'.

Hey. Congratulations, kev.
Voight just told me.

- Thanks.
- Yeah.

You cool?

Look, i don't wanna
lie to you , man.

You know this is
where i wanna be.

It's too bad
you're not good police.

- You'll never get another shot.
- Oh, shut up.

- You'll be back upstairs.
- [laughs] all right.

- Come here.
- Thanks, man.

Yeah.

He's baaack!

- What's up?
- Yes, buddy.

- Good to have you back.
- Thank you.

- Hey.
- Hi.

Well, you should be happy.
I'm back on patrol.

I wanted to keep this informal,
so i thought, you know--

What's more informal
than the locker room...

Right?

Okay. Yeah.

So, listen, i know
i've been a little weird lately.

It's got nothin' to do
with you and i workin' together.

I just, uhhh...
Been tryin' to figure out

Out how to tell you that
i want to spend the rest

Of my life with you,
and, uh...

You and i are freakin'
awesome together.

I know this is quick,

But i don't care
because i love you--

Yes.

Yeah?

[cell phone rings]
olinsky here.

(female)
is this alvin olinsky?

Yeah, who's this?

My name's michelle.

- My mom said you could help.
- Your mom?

Linda sovana.

I didn't know
linda had a daughter.

Yeah, well,
she gave me your number, so...

Look, i don't know
what linda told you

Or how she thinks
i can help.

Because...

I guess you're my dad.

Little early, isn't it?

I had a rough night.

Yeah, i think we all did.

Let's grab a coffee
on the way back to the district.

Uh, hank, actually,
i've been thinking.

I'm nothin' but bad news,
you know?

I was born into bad news
and i can't seem

To get away from it.

But it's the ones
around me, the...

The people that
i care about the most

Who end up getting hurt.

So, um...

You gotta stop being
so hard on yourself.

I had a talk with my mom.

Where'd that get you?

Well, we decided
that it might be a good thing

For you to give erin
some space, you know?

So she can figure things out
for herself.

Let's go.

I've talked to you
as a friend, as a father.

Now i'm talkin'
to you as your boss.

Get off the stool.
Let's go to work.

Actually, i quit.

We're good, hank.

Any issues
that erin is dealing with,

It's a family matter.
