Chicago P.D. (2014–…): Season 2, Episode 6 - Prison Ball - full transcript

When a 10 year old girl is shot, the Commander tells Voight to work it. It seems like the girl was scheduled to testify against a kid who committed a crime. The kid is a promising basketball player whose career will end if he's convicted. While the kid has an airtight alibi, they learn he has a relative who's a gang leader. The man is in prison so they go to see him but a Fed tells Voight the man works for them so he's off limits. Atwater who takes the whole thing seriously asks Voight to send him to the prison and work on the man. Voight sends him in as a con along with Ruzek posing as a con too and Antonio as a guard. Voight and the others try to find the shooter. Platt asks Roman and Burgess to take some kids who are explorer candidates on a tour. But they ditch them and steal the Commander's car. Platt admits they are actually youth offenders whom a judge Platt knows, was hoping can be helped.

- You sure the controller's
not busted?

- You wish.

- Hey, don't hate on her 'cause
she's whupping you, burgess.

- Seriously,
these buttons are stuck.

- Seriously, you're not good.

- [scoffs]

[phone beeps]

- Hey, vinessa,
finish that homework, huh?

One second.

- So why don't you guys
work together anymore?

- What's up?
- Um...



Uh, because your brother's
in intelligence now.

He's a big shot.

- Oh, why aren't you?
- Right. Okay.

Be right there.

- That's a good question.

- Yo, burgess,
something just popped off.

Will you, uh...

- Yeah, yeah, no worries.
I got her.

- Hey, vinessa, be good, girl.

[door closes]

- Hey, it's okay.
He'll be back soon.

All right, let's do this.

Oh, no.

[helicopter blades thrumming]



- Sergeant.
- Thanks.

Commander.

- Victim's name
was mya watkins.

She was a state's witness

Set to testify
in a theft case this week.

Shooter walked up, put two
in her head, and ran off.

[police radio chatter]

- How old is she, ten?

- Yeah.

- Clear everything
off your plate.

This is the only case
that matters.

- Homicide found
two 9-mil shell casings

Next to the body.

They're on their way
to ballistics for analysis now.

- Any witnesses?

- Zip.

This was a message
to the neighborhood--

"don't snitch."

- Please come forward.

Any information
that you give us

Will be kept
completely confidential.

That's my number on that card.
So you call that number,

It'll be me
on the other end of the phone.

Ma'am, ma'am.
- Mya, mya...

- Ma'am, i can't let you
do that--ma'am, ma'am.

- No, mya!
- I can't let you do that ma'am.

- No, let me go!
I want to see her!

Mya!
No, let me go!

Please!
- Ma'am--

- She's all alone!

Please! No!

- We're gonna find who did that.
- [sobbing]

- You got my word.
- No!

- Come on, come on, come on.

- [continues sobbing]

- I promise you.

- James grant,
senior at anderson high

And star forward
on the basketball team.

- Kid's a lock for the pros.

- Yeah, except robbery-burglary
picked him up

For holding up a corner store
a couple months back.

Charges wouldn't stick
without an eyeball witness.

Mya was the only one
willing to go on the record.

- So she was the only thing

That stood
between grant going pro...

- And spending the next
five years in stateville.

- All right,
the coach confirmed it.

Grant was playing a tournament
in evanston

At the time of the shooting.
- Maybe that was the plan--

Have eyes on grant while mya
gets shot somewhere else.

- This kid's connected enough
to order a hit on a witness?

- Nope, grant's not,
but his uncle definitely is--

Devon tucker, o.G. Vice lord
turned gun runner.

He's been looking out
for his nephew

Since the boy learned
how to dribble.

- Yeah, but he's
locked up at mcc

On a federal weapons charge.

Think he ordered the shot
from inside?

- I bet my star on it.

- Let's go have a chat.

- How long does it take
to pull a guy out of his cell?

- Something's up.

Here we go.

- Sorry to keep you waiting.

- Warden.
Who's this?

- Special agent collins, atf.

We've been working tucker
for six months

To get him to flip
on his weapons suppliers.

- Popular guy.

We like him for ordering a hit
on a ten-year-old girl.

- So now that he's gonna
play ball with us,

You want to come in
and spook our best lead.

Sorry.
Not gonna happen.

- I think what
special agent collins

Is trying to say--
- i've made myself clear.

Tucker's off-limits.

Anyone who can't handle that
faces obstruction charges.

- I'm just saying,
i'm from the neighborhood.

You're always saying,
"this is our city."

Well, those are my streets.

And i don't mean
to take this case personally,

But that little girl
was my sister's age,

And that could have been her
out there on the pavement.

You see the look in my eyes?

Ain't this what you
brought me upstairs for?

Let me do this.

- No one can know,
you understand?

- Yep.

- Hank voight for warden riggs.

- [sniffs]

[brakes squeal]

- Keep it moving, fellas.
Keep it moving.

Keep it moving.

Keep it moving, gentlemen.

Keep it moving.

Keep it moving, fellas.
Keep it moving.

The federal government
would like to welcome you

To the metropolitan
correctional center

In the city of chicago.

We do hope you enjoy your stay.

Open it up!

[gate buzzes]

[gate clanking]

.

- It's about time.

Your police explorer candidates
are waiting.

- Our what?

- Did you not get the memo?

I must have never written it.

Show them around the district
and then report back.

If any of them have
what it takes to be the police,

I want to know.

- It'd be our pleasure.

- It would?

- Hell, yeah, it would.

I was a police explorer.

- Oh.

- Where are they?

- Officers roman and burgess,

Meet, uh...

Dylan, carlos, and...

- Sparrow.

- Oh, god, whatever happened
to names like mike and tommy?

- What's up
with the frowns, guys?

You're police now.
Come on, get psyched.

- As far as anyone knows,

They're detainees
like any other,

Which means
they'll be treated as such.

I mean, only the warden
knows they're inside.

Anyone else finds out,
it'll shut us down.

- Who's watching over them?

- One of my best undercovers.

So, while atwater's
on the inside

Trying to get tucker on a wire
copping to ordering the hit,

We're out here
doing everything we can

To i.D. The shooter and then
link him back to tucker.

- Sounds like fun.
[chuckles]

- That's the new commander?

"sounds like fun."

Weird dude.

- I spoke to mya's mother.

She's on her way in
for her interview.

- Where we at with the shell
casings from the scene?

- Firing pin signature doesn't
match anything in the database,

And no usable fingerprints.

Shooter was careful.

- Then we go back to basics.

Check every camera
we're linked to--

Cpd pods, commercial,
residential surveillance.

And run every in-service call
that came in last night.

I want to be briefed.

- Got it, boss.

Hey, you got a sec?

Steve kot.

- Yeah?

- What do you know about him?

- Lawyer from
the state's attorney's office?

I heard he went
right back to work

The day after
his kid was killed.

- Is he a stand-up guy?

- I really wouldn't know.

Olinsky would.

- Well, he's putting together
a task force,

And he wants me on it.

- What?
Seriously?

- Which i'm keeping
confidential.

- Task force?

- Yeah.

Why do you look so shocked?

- That's just--
[laughs]

That's--

It's big.

- Yeah.

So, if they came to you
and it was offered,

What would you--
[voice murmurs]

Shh--

- Hey, herrera,
you're with me today.

- You got it, boss.

- Yeah, just call me parish.

I see you transferred in
from medium-security?

- Greenville.

- Well, this ain't greenville.

You ever seen jurassic park?

- A long time ago.

- Yeah, well, at the beginning,

The raptors
in the electrical cages,

They keep testing
the different walls

For any hint of weakness.

Well, that's what
this prison is.

It's a bunch of animals
looking for weakness.

So you give them nothing.

- Understood.

- Yeah.

You ready to get baptized?

Come on.

[inmates chattering,
shouting]

- All right, gentlemen,
let's go.

- [sighs]

Tried my whole life
to avoid this place.

- It's a good reminder you were
smart to keep your nose clean.

- You four, with me.

- I got a pops, a uncle,
two cousins all did time.

You think i need a reminder?

- Hey.
- Hey...

Don't stare.

Check that out.

- Looks like our man tucker's
got an entourage, huh?

- With his street cred,
he better have a whole army.

- You said don't stare.

- Do as i say, not as i do.

- Reynolds, matt.

You're in here.

- Be safe.

- Thank you, sir.

- Hey, you need to know

I run my house
like a reputable convict.

You keep the toilet spotless,

And you walk
in a precise manner.

That way, we don't bump
into each other

In a way that would make
the other uncomfortable.

- Is that it?
- That's it.

- All right, that works for me.

- What mya did,
coming forward like that,

It took courage.

- Courage got me nothing.

Nothing.

And grant's gonna walk,
isn't he?

Just 'cause he can make
a jump shot.

- Not if we can find somebody

Who can tie the shooter
to grant.

- Already tried
to help the cops once,

And what did it get me?

- You live a block away.

If you can think of anybody
who might have seen something...

- And get them killed too?

- If james grant
is responsible for mya's death,

He will not get away with it.

- I don't believe a word

Out of your mouth.

Can i go now?

I got to go make
funeral arrangements

For my daughter.

- Whoa, hold up there.
Counselor, hold up.

- That's him!
You son of a bitch!

You killed my little girl!

You son of--
- everybody calm down!

You two, over there.

Everybody else goes home
or to a holding cell.

Is that understood?

- High-school baller
gets pinched

For a stupid crime.

All of a sudden...

That scholarship,
those endorsement deals,

They're slipping away.

It's all 'cause some little girl
saw him make a mistake.

It's obvious.

She's got to go away.

That sound about right to you?

- I haven't heard one fact

Or seen one shred of evidence

Linking my client
to this murder.

- Well, maybe you had
uncle devon

Take care
of the witness problem for you.

He's got the juice
to make it happen, right?

- Man, i ain't talked to d
since he went in.

I--
- james...

You don't have
to say anything.

- I know how this looks, okay?

But i had nothing to do
with killing no little girl.

It's a rough neighborhood.
I'm just trying to get out.

- If there are no charges,
we'll be leaving now.

- Sit down!
- Are you out of your mind?

- Get him out of here.
- Come here.

- Don't touch me!
- Get him out of here.

- Come here.
- Get your hand off me!

- Hey. Sorry.

- I don't care
where you were, kid.

As far as i'm concerned,

That was your finger
on the trigger killed mya.

[thwack]
you.

You're gonna answer for it.

Beat it.

- All right, give me a heads-up
when you pull the recordings.

Thanks.

- Get a hit off the pods?
- Not yet.

Cpic's gonna extend
the review radius

Another six blocks.

- Patrol responded
to a hit-and-run collision

A half mile
from our crime scene last night.

Call came in minutes
after mya was killed.

- Driver in a hurry
to get lost.

- Partial plate
narrowed it down

To a nathan hughes
in wicker park.

- Hit it.

[buzzer]

- You don't want it,
i'll take it.

- Have at it.

- What are you in for, anyway?

- I killed a narc.

- It's a good thing
you said that to me

And not some of these convicts.

You come in here bragging
about notches on your belt,

You're gonna
get tested, quick.

- Then don't ask me next time.

- West side, right?

- Who wants to know?
- Oh, man, we good.

Thought i recognized big homey
from the block.

- Well, big homey
don't know you, man.

- How you gonna tell me
what he know?

- Maybe you didn't hear me.

Why you asking
so many questions?

- Tucker,
arms out, feet together.

- What's this about?

- Doc wants to see you.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

- There's no mention
of a medical request

On the call-out roster.

- It's just a smokescreen
for the other inmates.

Word is that tucker
made a deal with the feds,

And now he's going
into wit-sec.

So take a good look at him,

'cause when he leaves
this prison,

You will never see
his pretty face again.

- Let's go.

.

- Well, if this is our shooter,

He's sure doing well
for himself.

- You're not really considering
this task force, are you?

- No.

That's why i showed you the card
and asked you for your advice,

For the exercise.

[knock at door]

- I mean, imagine
how heartbroken you'd be...

Not seeing my smiling face
every day.

- [laughs] you know what?
You just settled it for me.

Thanks.

- Meaning?

- Can i help you?

- Yeah, we're looking
for nathan hughes.

- I'm his daughter katie.

- Does your dad drive
a black bmw x5?

- No, but i do.

If this is about
the parking tickets,

I was gonna pay them.

Those jerks didn't have
to tow my car.

- When was the car towed?
- Two days ago.

- So the car's
still on the lot.

Thank you.
- I'll call voight.

- You guys done
the trust fall yet?

- Huh?

- They're supposed to teach you
that at orientation.

What are they teaching you guys
these days?

- Hey, what's going on here?

- Hey.

- Some police explorers.

- Oh, yeah?
Taking a tour.

- Guys, this is
detective olinsky.

He's up in intelligence.

It's a lot different
than being in uniform.

All right, let's keep walking.

- Whoa.
Meaning?

- Two different worlds,

Different ways of doing things,

Treating people.

All right, guys, come on.

Let's go.
- Boys, when you become cops,

Have the courage
to say what's on your mind.

Don't hide behind
little riddles.

- Hey.

Peter byrne.

- Is that supposed
to mean something?

- See, that's the problem.

You don't even
remember his name.

2007, me and byrne were backup

At an undercover sting
that went sideways.

He was shot three times
right in front of you.

I was pinned down,
but you could have helped him.

Instead, you let
my partner bleed out

So you could go
after the shooter.

Come on, guys, this way.

I'm gonna show you
the lineup room.

It's a one-way mirror,

So you can see me,
but i can't see you.

- Hey.

What the hell
just happened out there?

- He asked.

- There's
a chain of command, roman.

- Screw the chain of command.

Guys, the room
was built that way

So that the witness
can remain anonymous.

- Hey.

What are you doing?

- I'm explaining to the boys
how the mirror works.

- Where?
- Where what?

- Where are the boys?

- Guys?

- Voight spoke to the warden.

Tucker's deal with atf was
further along than we thought.

They're keeping him
in protective custody

Until the marshals
can transfer him to wit-sec.

- We got to get atwater
up there

Before tucker disappears.

- The warden was firm.

Can't get any more involved.
We're on our own.

- Well, there's only two ways
to get into protective custody.

[blowing]

Hey, lyle.

Let me see that tray
for one second.

[sharp whack]

[inmates shouting]
- hey, back off!

- Officer needs assistance
in the dining hall!

Get back!

- I try to treat you all
with respect, let you be men.

Some of you don't get it.

Fine.

Lessons will be learned.

Did you see who the target was?
- That one.

- All right,
get him out of here.

- On your feet.

- What the hell did i do?

- Shut your mouth, inmate.

[handcuffs clicking]

- You two, review the tapes.

I want to know
who threw the first punch...

'cause someone will go
to the hole for this.

- I'm sorry to say it,

But i don't think those kids
are explorers material.

- Based on your expert opinion.

- Yeah.

What did those kids do
when they got an opportunity?

They ran away.

- Those kids aren't just
police explorer candidates.

They're children at risk.

- Wait.
What--you mean juvies?

They're juvies?

- If we're gonna
throw labels around,

They're technically fugitives
now, thanks to you two.

- Is there a reason why you
left that part out this morning?

- It's like when people
ask me about you,

I don't say,
"roman's a pain in my ass,"

Because that would be
labeling you.

Look, every few months,

A judge in juvenile court
sends me a few kids

She's released
on good behavior.

And i pull strings to get
those kids into this district

And show them they can
still turn their lives around,

And it's never been a problem
until i trusted you two nitwits.

- Don't blame this on--

- Can any of you tell me
why three boys were just seen

Driving my take-home car
out of the district?

- Commander...

Our two finest patrolmen
are on it.

God.

- Help you folks?

- Yeah.

Car from this lot
was spotted at a crime scene--

No record of it
ever being towed, so...

Somehow it left
the premises last night

And wound up back here.

- Well, this ain't
a drive-through.

It's an auto impound.

No vehicle goes in or out
unless a form gets filled

Or it's on the back of a truck.

- How does a car get
in and out of the lot

Without going into the system?

- That's a good question.

Wait here.

Let me get the manager.

- This new patrolman, roman...

- Mm.

- What's his story?

- No idea.

Why?

- It's no reason.

Just...

- Al...

I've known you 25 years.

Every time you say
"no reason"--

- Oh, no.

- What?

Oh, man.
[both groan]

All right.

Take that way!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

- Oops.

- All right, let's start again.

About that beemer...

- Ah!
[metal creaking]

.

- You've got hours, not days.

If you're gonna get to tucker,
now is the time.

- Yeah.
- So when you get inside...

- I know how to play this.

[buzzer]

- Supervisor ordered this inmate
into protective custody.

The paperwork's on its way up.

- 10-4.

- Come on, man!

I'm just trying
to make a couple bucks.

- So you took out a contract
on a ten-year-old?

- What the hell's
he talking about?

- Whoever was driving
that beemer last night

Murdered a little girl.

- Mm-hmm.

- Whoa.

Maybe i rented a car

To someone trying
to impress a date.

- Uh-huh.

- But nobody said nothing
about a murder.

- You tell me
who was behind the wheel,

Or i hang the whole thing
on you.

[metal clattering]

It's your choice.

[low murmuring]

- You been going
through a lot of trouble

To get at me, son.

If bonds and his crew
sent you...

- Aw, come on, man,
it ain't on that.

I'm straight.

I used to roll
with raekwon and slick

Out there on 78th street.

- Yeah?
What's slick up to?

- You know how slick get down.

Got caught up with
one of them hispanic honies

Out there in rogers park.

- [chuckles]

Boy can't help it.

- Yeah, he ain't playin'.

- What you need?

I need to rap with you
about your nephew james.

- What about him?

- Well, you know the little girl
that's about to snitch?

She just got popped.

- James' business ain't got
nothing to do with me.

- Yo, is there a problem?

- Naw.

He was just leaving.

- At least it's in one piece.

- Why would she call them
police explorers?

Can't just throw
that name around.

I took an oath.

- Yeah, i don't think platt
knew you felt so strongly--

Me neither, frankly.

- Officers.

I've heard of these
flash mobs before,

But i never thought three boys
could do this much damage.

- Do you have any idea
which way they went?

- Oh, a pretty good one.

My husband stopped them before
they made it out the door.

- He said he'd bust my kneecaps.

- I'm tempted to do it myself.

- Dude, we were just having fun.
Chill, all right?

- Excuse me?

And you figured
stealing the commander's car

And shoplifting
was the way to do it?

- I should have known you guys

Weren't explorers
when i saw you.

Honor, courage, and service:

That's what the program
teaches you.

- [snickers]
- you think this is funny?

You know how many people

Put their ass on
the line for you guys?

Platt, the judge, us.

You won't be laughing when we
send your ass back to juvie.

- I knew my man
was the real deal

Soon as he walked
in this place.

Took that tray and went, bah!

Right across big boy's back.

Yo, i'm telling you.

Us white folks
got to stick together in here.

[ahem]

- What's up, fellas?

- Haven't you heard?

They put a cop in here.

- No.

- It's true.

So how'd you know?

- How'd i know what, man?

- The guy you stomped in chow,

The one who was trying
to talk to devon...

- Yeah?
- He's police.

- Really?
What makes you say that?

- Some puerto rican kid
on the second tier

Swears he got pinched by him
a few months back.

- Reynolds!

- Yeah.

- Hands behind your back.

- Disciplinary hearing officer
just weighed in.

You're going to the hole, fish.

- No, what?

No.

Wait, wait, wait.

Aw, come on, man.

- Hey, let me ask you something.
- Yeah.

- Remember john reed
from that heist crew,

You know, around '07?

- Yeah, yeah, guy was a killer,

Almost took out a few of us
that night.

What makes you think of reed?

- Well, i got this new kid,
roman,

Who's giving me grief
over how it went down.

So...

That was a clean bust, right?

- Alvin, that was a clean bust.

- Okay, tow clerk rented the car
to omar martel.

Martel was detained with tucker
at mcc until a few months ago.

- Bingo.
- He used to run a stick-up crew

Ripping off dealers

And killing them for fun.
- Right.

- Now all of his boys
are either dead or in jail,

So he's branched out
to murder-for-hire.

Last known address
is on west 23rd and pilsen.

- And grant's cell phone records
show him pinging a tower

Near martel's house two days
before mya was killed.

This is our shooter.

- Beautiful.

All right, let's roll out.

- We'll see about that.

[buzzer]

- Get your hands off me, man.

You can't put me in here.

You don't understand.

You don't understand!

Clean out your locker.

You got 15 minutes

- I'm a cpd undercover

Trying to pin the murder
of a ten-year-old girl

On an inmate

Please, help us out.

- Come on, come on.

Got to let me out of here!

God.

- Thought i was clear.

- You got to hear me out.

- Walk away now.

- I got a message
from omar martel.

I ain't playing.
He got picked up last night.

He said he's gonna flip on james
unless you give him more cash.

You want to talk to me now?

- He's already getting 10%
of the kid's rookie contract.

- He say he needs
at least another 10.

- James wanted
to cap that girl himself.

Couldn't let that happen.

I knew martel would be
down for whatever.

Didn't think he'd jam me up.

- What you want me
to tell him, big homey?

- 5%, that's it.

- Yo, stop talking to this fool.

- Hey, this don't even
concern you, dawg.

- Tucker, man,
this guy is a cop.

- No, big homey.

- Say what?

- Yeah, it's all over d-unit.

- Get the door.

.

[inmates shouting]

- Ah!

[alarm blaring]

- Stop it, atwater!
It's over!

It's over, kev!
Come on, come on, it's over.

It's over!

- Hell yeah, i'm a cop,
you punk-ass bitch!

And i got you on a wire
for murder!

[alarm blaring]

[background commotion]

- Here's the report
from the store they hit,

Something else
that you can share

With that judge in juvie court.

- Can i have a word with you,
alone?

Listen up, 'cause i'm only
gonna say this once.

I messed up.

I know, it's strange for me too.

It was wrong of me to present
those boys as police explorers.

But if it makes a difference,

I'm gonna throw
the book at them.

Grand theft auto, retail theft,
evading a police officer.

Those three aren't gonna see
the light of day

Before their 18th birthday.

- Before you do any of that,
just give me a minute.

- Patrolman...

- You owe me.

I'm letting you guys go.

- You are?

- When i was your age,
me and my buddies,

We took an el train
for a joyride.

The cop who picked us up,

He could have dropped
the hammer on us,

Ruined our lives.

But instead, he let us go.

He said,
"everybody gets one break,

Even if they don't deserve it."

Now this is yours.

I know you guys think
this is lame,

But if you ever want
to join the explorers,

Like, for real,

Give me a call.

Changed my life.

Could change yours.

Now get out of here.

- Officer...

You know, when does
this explorers thing meet?

- Saturday morning, 8:00.

- The thing about
prison ball is

You don't want to be
the punk on fouls.

Makes you look soft.

That's how you end up
being someone's sweetheart.

[engine turns over]

[siren wailing]

- Hey, ms. Watkins...

I wanted you to hear
from me first.

We got him.

We got grant; we got his uncle;
we got the shooter.

We got 'em all.

- Thank you.

- All right?

- [sobbing]

- You know...

There were other cops
at that scene that night,

Not just me.

- When he was bleeding out,
you were the closest one.

You could have helped him.

- I was in pursuit
of a known felon...

- We all were there.

- Wanted for a double homicide.

I mean, i saw that
you were nearby,

You were able
to help your partner out.

So i kept going.

And i'm glad i did,

'cause we caught
that son of a bitch.

And i would do it
exactly the same way again.

So you can bring
your old partner here,

And i would tell him myself.

- He's back in milwaukee,
living on disability.

He's gonna be in a wheelchair
for the rest of his life.

- I was beginning to think
you wouldn't call.

- I wasn't planning on it.

- And yet, you did.

- Look, i don't play politics,

And i didn't become a cop
to get my picture in the paper.

But last night i knelt
over the body

Of a ten-year-old girl with
two bullet holes in her head.

So if you're telling me
that this task force

Could help me get ahead
of cases like that

Instead of cleaning up
after them...

- That's exactly the goal.

You do well on this task force,
erin,

You can write your own ticket.

You can go after
any cases you want.

- [sighs]

- How'd you get that cut?

- Doing police work.

- In that new
intelligence thing?

- Yeah.

- Do you like it?

- Yeah, i love it.

- What?

- Just looking at you.

I'm proud of you.

- Proud of you too.

- You know you mean
the world to me, right?
