Chicago P.D. (2014–…): Season 2, Episode 8 - Assignment of the Year - full transcript

.

- Erin lindsay,
how does running

Your own task force
for the feds sound?

- Task force?
- Yeah.

- That's big.
- Hey, dawson.

I heard it went good
with mr. Roslyn last night.

The guy's a piece of work,

But you can handle it.

- This is what i bring you--
the best.

- My husband, asher,
is really something, isn't he?

- Yeah, you know better than me.



Mrs. Roslyn, your hand
is on my leg.

- Call me layla.

- I'm killing myself
working two jobs

To pay for a house that i pray
you and the kids come back to.

There's no way
i'm gonna agree to that.

It ain't gonna happen.

Look, it's over.

I got to accept that,

But, laura, please.

You're treating me
like i'm some part-time dad,

And you know i'm not.

- Asher, just come back inside.

- You don't make a fool of me.
- Ha!

You did that all
on your own, sweetheart.



- I got to go.
Can i--

- Get in the car.
- No. I'm going back inside...

And antonio's coming with me.

- Look, are you
out of your mind?

- What, that's
what you pay him for, right?

To look after me, huh?

You want to come look after me,
antonio.

- Go on back inside, you whore.

Say "hi"
to terry when he shows up.

Isn't that what you want?

Come on, let's leave her ass.

She was a cocktail waitress
at the admiral when i met her.

You married?

- Going through a divorce.

- [chuckling]

Congratulations.

- Home, then?

- That bitch.

She made me want to start
smoking again, you believe that?

There's a gas station coming up.
Pull over.

- You told me
the first night out

Not to buy you smokes
if you asked.

- Look, who are you?
Jiminy cricket?

I'm telling you tonight

To pull over and get me a pack
of smokes, so do it.

- How's it going?

- Good.
- Let me get a pack of reds.

- Those things kill.

- Let's hope so.

I don't know what brand you
smoke, and i really don't care.

So here.

Hey, you pass out on me?

Asher.

Oh, man. Oh, man.

This is detective antonio dawson
of the chicago police department

Requesting an ambulance

And immediate backup
to 1601 north kingsbury.

I have a victim with
a gunshot wound to the head.

.

- When i realized he was shot,
i got out of the car,

Opened his door,
checked his pulse,

And then i saw this.

Our victim's a diamond dealer.

It looks like a robbery
gone sideways.

- How long were you
in the store?

- I walked in, bought
the cigarettes, walked back.

I didn't have a stopwatch.

- You always do the shopping
for this guy?

- Are we on the same team here?

- Just doing my job.

- Yeah? I'm gonna wait
to talk to my sergeant.

- I'm right here.

Sergeant hank voight,
intelligence.

We'll take it from here.

- Dead diamond dealer
and an off-duty cop?

It's all yours.

- I shouldn't have gotten
out of the car.

I screwed up.

- Just call ed glasser,
our f.O.P. Rep.

Tell him to get his ass down
to the squad.

- Yeah.

- We'll figure this out.

- Okay.

- Hey, al.

I hear through the grapevine

You have a living situation.

- That grapevine named ruzek?

- I don't give up my sources.

- Okay, say i do have one.

You looking
for a roommate or something?

- [scoffs]
you wish.

- Do i?

- Officer next door program.

You heard of it?

- Assume i haven't.

- Basically,
you get a really good price

On a nice home
in a run-down neighborhood.

A cop living there is supposed
to make it safer,

So it's a win-win for everyone--

Except we don't say "run-down,"
we say "up-and-coming."

But look at that.

That is the original brick.

- What's your cut?

- I'm a concerned fellow officer
looking out for one of my own.

- What's your cut?
- 2%.

- When roman gets in,
send him upstairs.

- "please" is such a nice word.

- Just send him upstairs.

- Come on in.

Security footage
from the store

Has antonio
inside buying cigarettes,

Plus a cab driver
parked at the station

Saw a male
in a hoodie approach the suv.

- He might be cleared
from the criminal case,

But the internal one
is a bit more complicated.

Asher roslyn had priors
in antwerp and london

For buying stolen diamonds.

- That's news to me.

- You remember bill dietz
out of the 26th district?

He was fired for just
fraternizing with a felon.

You? You were on the clock
working for one.

- Are you helping me, ed?

This doesn't sound like you
helping me.

- Whoa, whoa.

How do we turn this around?

- All right, as your f.O.P. Rep,

I can buy you two days before
this goes up to the ivory tower.

After that,
it's out of my hands.

Only chance you got
is you solve this thing,

And you spin it.

- And if we don't?

- Best case?

Leave without pay.

The other way this goes is,

You could lose your job
and your pension.

I got to go.

- Thanks, ed.

- Good luck.

- Hey, i know you're going
through a lot right now.

Antonio,

If you needed extra money,
i would've given you the ot.

- That's one of
at least ten things

I'd have done different
if i had the chance.

- All right.

- Hey,

How well do you know
this sean roman?

- Not well enough, apparently.

- Hey, man, keep your head up.

- Yeah.

- Hey, al.

Why don't you draw up
some paperwork for antonio.

- Six months sound good?

- Hmm. Make it nine.

Play it safe.

- Hey, antonio?

Your wife's on the phone.

- Tell her i'll call her back.

- Okay.

- Antonio,
i cross-referenced all the spots

You were last night.

Did you, uh, know
you were outside of a sex club?

- Yeah, the red bridge.

- What was it like inside?

- Don't--don't tell him, man.

He'll be useless to us
the rest of the day.

- I'm just asking for the case.
- Uh-huh.

- You okay?

- Hey.

- Got a sec, roman?

- Yeah.

- How long did you know asher?

- Six months.

- Did you run a background check
on him?

- Yeah, of course.
- Internationally?

- No, why would i do that?
- Because he's a felon.

- [sighs]

I knew this job would jump up
and bite me one day.

- You?

- What do you want me
to say?

Look, i'm sorry.

- Yeah, well,
change into plain clothes,

'cause you're on this now.

I want all your driver logs,

Anything
you got that'll generate a lead.

- Yeah, you got it.

- Layla roslyn's on her way up.

- Life's so fragile, you know?

- Outside the club,

You were arguing
about someone named terry.

- Were we?

Oh, yeah.
Terry.

I had sex with him
a couple times.

- Just like that?

- Asher got off on it.

Why do you think we were there?

- I don't know, layla.

I'm not a pervert.

- So this is antonio dawson
the cop, huh?

- So tell me about terry.

- Just did.

He was just some guy
we hooked up with.

One of...Many.

- That's a real nice life.

- Better than some.

- You don't seem too broken up
over asher's death.

- I don't parade my emotions
around in front of strangers

Just to make them feel better.

- Did you have anything to do
with your husband's murder?

- No, i went back
inside the club.

Remember?

- What was in that secret
compartment of the suv?

- Uh, snickers bars.

[chuckles softly]

What do you think?
He was a diamond dealer.

If i had to guess,
maybe $3 million worth?

- If you had to guess?

- [laughs]

It's an expression.

- Yeah.

So's this:

If you had anything to do
with this,

I'm gonna nail you.

- I'd expect nothing less.

- What'd she give you?

- Nothing,

But i like her even more for
being involved somehow.

- Nadia, call platt.

Have her stall layla.

Atwater and roman,
put a tail on her.

- I worked security for layla.

She'll recognize me.

- Fine.

Get burgess
into some plain clothes,

Grab a covert, and head out.

- Copy that.

- The hell is that?

- Hey listen, i need you to go
to organized crime division,

Pick up a new c.I. Pack,
reliability form,

And a stack of intelligence
progress reports.

- You got it.

- Get a pen and paper
and write that down

Before you make
that damn phone call.

- C.I. Pack, reliability forms,
intelligence progress reports.

[recording repeating list]
ta-da.

See, it's more than just
a phone, al.

- Just go get it.

- Not until you tell me
what you're doing right now.

- I'm trying
to bail antonio out.

- Well, specifically.

- There are ways

To rewrite history.

- Cool.

All right.

Be right back.

- That's a nice pickup
you drive.

What'd that run you?

40 grand?

- I'm not sure.
It's a lease.

The side gig has been steady,
last night excepted.

- You know,
there's a reason cops

Who run security companies
are older.

They know how the game
is played.

Who's in and who's not.
That's why--

- Sergeant, all due respect,
i know what i'm doing.

- Clearly.

And you've given antonio
a full account of your--

- Are you asking me
if i had anything

To do with asher getting killed?

No, i did not.

- You ever bang the wife?

- No.

- Okay.

Good.

Just a little tip, roman.

In intelligence,
we know when to talk

And when to listen.

- This is a great unit, and
i fully appreciate what you do,

But i came on this job
in uniform, sergeant,

And that's how i'm going out.

- Son...

You have no idea
how you're going out.

- All right, great. That helps.
Thanks.

- No cameras at the crime scene

Other than
inside the gas station.

- Ballistics?

- No casings, no prints.

- I want everything on layla.

Phone records,
credit card statements.

- William wells.
Jeweler on wabash.

Him and asher were in business
together ten years ago.

Since then, four lawsuits
have been filed,

Two countersuits,
and mutual restraining orders.

Feels like a good place
to start.

- Wells, stop! Police!

Wells!

It's a panic room.

Call s.W.A.T.,
have them blow the door.

- We can wait for s.W.A.T.
To clear the street

And all that, or i got a guy.

- Fine.

- This a stolen tow truck,
or a legit one?

- Does it matter?

- Not really.

[siren wails]

- Owner activated an alarm.

- Yeah, we got it. Thanks.

- Wells, last chance.

Open the door.

We're with the chicago
police department.

- My ass.

- Hit it!

.

Let me see those hands.

- Let me see your badge.

- Want to see my badge, huh?

Here it is. See?

- Bring it closer.

- You want it closer?

- Yeah.
- Come on.

- All right.

- How's this?

- Okay!
Okay, okay, okay.

- Why'd you run?
- I didn't know you were cops!

I heard about this guy
i used to work with--

Got rubbed out last night.

And i saw the gun on your hip,

And, hey,
better safe than sorry.

- Safe than sorry?
- Ah, ow!

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Listen to me right now.

The only thing standing
between him and losing his job

Is your face.

You start talking right now,

Or i'm going to go outside

And leave you two alone.

Come on.

- Earlier today, a guy comes in
trying to move some stones.

I didn't know him,
but i'm always up for a deal.

Except he pulls out
a purple crown royal pouch,

So i know
they're asher's diamonds.

Asher kept that pouch so he'd
never forget where he came from.

So immediately i was like,
"uh-uh.

No way. No, thank you."

And i was gonna call the police,

But then you guys walked in.

- Asher's wife, layla.

You know her?

- Oh, yeah. I mean,
i didn't know her that well,

But i saw her around.

She's a real tomato, huh?

- She didn't come by here?

She didn't ask
about moving some diamonds?

- No.

No.

- If i find out
you lied to us in any way...

- I'm not lying.

- This unidentified male

Was the one who tried
to unload asher's stones.

- Maybe it's one of the guys the
wife was banging from the club?

- Maybe.

- So layla arranged
for asher to get killed

And the diamonds to get lifted.

She sends this guy
to asher's known enemy,

Wells, figuring
he'd fence 'em no problem.

But then wells' conscience
kicks in.

Now layla and this guy
are back to square one,

Looking to move those stones.

- Bring layla back in?

- No, i don't want her to know
we're looking at her.

Not until right before
i put the cuffs on her ass.

Anything on layla's phone
or credit cards?

- Slow going.

Once the state's attorney found
out who was representing her,

They've been all over my ass
about motive and probable cause.

I'm gonna get there.

It's just gonna take
another day.

- All right.

Guys, the sex club's a no-go.

Judge kalke refuses to sign
any kind of subpoena

For membership info.

He claims that
it's too intrusive

And too broad to obtain it
for the whole club.

- Screw the warrant.

Let's take it undercover.

- All right.

Any volunteers?
- All right, no.

I've been running and getting
paperwork all morning.

I think i'm due.
- Pssh.

- It's got to be a couple.

Halstead and lindsay.

- [sighs]

- Look,

Whatever we got to do to come
across convincingly in there?

I'm prepared.

- So noble.
- Mm-hmm.

- Get out of here.

- Damn.

Her husband just died.

She already getting her nails
done.

- If you died, i'd wait at least
a week to get a mani-pedi.

- That's cold, burgess.
- [chuckles]

- It's like
we were never partners.

You know, voight's been
using you a lot lately.

He's probably thinking
about moving you up.

- Um, yeah.

I'm not sure i'm interested.

- Roman hasn't been
getting in your ear

About staying in patrol,
has he?

- Leave roman alone.
He's real police.

- He got us in a real mess
is what he did.

- And what was he supposed
to do?

Contact interpol to see if asher

Had any priors
in "kerplakistan"?

No other cop
with a security side business

Has ever done that, ever.

So why are people
jumping down sean's throat?

- Kerplakistan?

- Okay, there she goes.

- Man, this is the assignment
of the year.

We're stuck here
yanking our chains.

- They don't allow single guys
in there anyways.

- What,
you know from experience?

- Asher and his wife
asked me one time.

I made it as far as the doorman,
but he sent me packing,

Thank god.

I just wanted to see
what it would look like inside.

- Whoa!
Oh, my.

- Easy, boys. It's okay.

- It wasn't meant for you.

Wow.
- You done?

Everybody put your tongues
back in your mouths.

- All right, there's,
like, a million things

I could say right now,
but i'm gonna be a gentleman,

And i'm not gonna say them.

- That'd be wise.

- Okay.

I'm kind of tripping right now.

- What?

- This is a sex club.

People have sex inside.

- I'll do the talking.

- Did you see that?

See what was happening there?

- Yep.

- Okay.

- How's your evening
going so far?

- Could be better.

Last time we were here,

There was a really hot
white guy working here?

Like, late 30s, muscular,
long hair.

His name was perry
or something?

- When was it you were in?

- About a month ago,
give or take.

- You're talking about terry,
and i haven't seen him.

Take your pick.

A face like yours,

I'm sure you'll find someone
to play with.

- Well, what about you?

Do you want to play?

- Playtime for my girl.

- Taking a break, dimitra.

- Okay.

.

Seriously, no worries
if you want to tag in.

- So what's your name?
- Brian.

And, look, i only have,
like, ten minutes, so--

- Chicago police.

So you know terry?

- Not really.

- It sure as hell sounded like
you did a couple minutes ago.

- Do you know where you're at?

There's a judge down the hall,

The city's biggest developers
in the room next door.

This place is protected.

- It might be, but you're not.

Is that how you want this to go?
That's fine.

Just give us an i.D.
- Okay, look.

Is there a way
we can avoid that?

- You can tell us,
is this terry?

- Yes.
- What's his last name?

- No one uses last names here.

Out.

Go!

- Married? Single?
- No idea.

- Close with any regulars?
- Not that i saw.

- This guy's jerking us off.
- No, i'm not.

[grunts]

- Do you think that judge
is gonna protect you, huh?

Because you make a good mai tai?

Get the marbles
out of your mouth,

Give us some information
about terry,

Or i promise you, your face

Is gonna be on the front page
of the sun-times.

- Okay, he was in here earlier
asking about a jeweler.

- Which jeweler?
- Any jeweler.

He said his fiancee
gave the ring back,

And he's looking
to sell the diamond.

- And?
- And that's all i heard.

But he was talking
to some couple

At the end of the bar about it.

- Which couple?
- I don't know. They left.

But i can ask around.

- Good. Get up. Go do that.

We'll be waiting at the bar
for that information.

- Do i need to know
what's going on here?

- Better you don't.

You're allergic to shellfish,
right?

- Yeah.

- What's the latest out there?

- The latest is,

Laura's putting me through
the wringer on a divorce.

If i lose this job, i'm cooked.

- Well, we're not gonna
let that happen.

- So you and meredith,

You done?

- Well, not really.

She wants me back.

Lexi's trying to talk me
into it.

Still trying
to figure it all out.

- Yeah.

Al,

Trust me on this one.

I know what it's like
to come home to a family,

And i know what it's like
to come home to an empty house.

First one's better.

- Hey, found something
in asher's will.

- Let me guess,
layla got all his money.

- No, not a penny, man.

Everything went
to his alma mater.

- What about the insurance
on the stolen diamonds?

- No, nothing.
And his prenup?

Rock solid.

He kept all of his property
separate

Because it was earned
before the marriage.

- What does a gold digger do
when she can't get to the gold?

- I'm gonna go with
"kill the husband and steal it."

- Or...

Get somebody else to kill him
so she can walk away clean.

- Yeah.

- Hey, that was halstead.

They just left the sex club.

- Wait, wait, wait.

They've been there
this whole time?

That--that's five hours.

Talk about milking
your assignment, huh?

Unbelievable.
- You were saying?

- They got a name of a jeweler

This terry guy
was referred to, anderson narz.

He owns a store
down in portage park.

Opens at 9:00 a.M.

- I broke my own golden rule:

Never fence a score
for a new guy.

But my moron sexual-deviant
nephew vouched for him,

And like an idiot, i listened.

- This the guy?

- That's him.
- You set up a buyer yet?

- Nope.

- Damn.

- How much we talking
right there?

- You got $20,
i'll give you all of them.

They're fake. Phonies.

Cubic zs.

I knew i needed to loupe 'em
before i held 'em,

But he handed 'em over
and split.

- How long did you tell him
it'd take you to find a buyer?

- Inside a week.

- Okay.

Set up a meet with terry now.

Tell him you worked fast,
you got a fish on the hook,

And you're ready to settle up.

- My nephew gonna get hurt
on this

For referring him?

- Get me this guy,
and i don't know you,

I don't know your nephew,
i don't know nothing.

- Then we have a deal.

[cell phone beeping]

- Burgess.

- You still got eyes
on layla roslyn?

- Yeah, yeah,
i'm looking at her right now.

- Stay on her.

The diamonds are still in play,
and she might have 'em.

- Copy that.

.

[horn honks]
- let's ride.

- 2295tx, 2295tx,
2295--

Get in the left lane.
2295tx.

There she is. I see her.
I see her.

- Yeah, there she is.

- What happened to her car
and driver?

- Damn, i don't know.

- River forest police!
Hands where i can see them.

- Step out of the car.
- River forest police.

Put your hands
where i can see them.

- Step out of the vehicle.

- Walk to the back
of the vehicle.

- Okay, we're police. Hey, hey!
- Hands up.

- We're police.
- I'm chicago pd.

- Show me some id.
- It's on my right hip.

Can i show you that?
- You got it?

- You guys all right?
- We're straight.

- Yeah, we're straight.
Atwater, let's go.

- We got a 911 call.

Some woman said
she was being threatened

By two people with guns.

- Don't worry about it.

- Excuse me. Hi.

Is layla roslyn here?

- I'm sorry, who?

- Layla roslyn.
She just came in.

Red jacket,
lots of shopping bags.

- Oh, uh, yeah.

She said
she had the wrong building.

She went out the back.

- Voight, it's antonio.

Terry just set up a meeting
with narz

Outside the natural history
museum.

- Tell him to make it two hours
from now,

And get
everyone else to mobilize.

- It's going down
in five minutes.

- It's not going down
in five minutes.

- I'm gonna put you on speaker.

- You have to wait
for backup, antonio.

- I would if i could,
but terry jumped the gun.

He called narz
and said he wants to meet now.

My sense is he's ready
to blow out of town.

- All right, who's with you?
- Roman.

He's solid. I trust him.
This could be our only shot.

My only shot.

- All right. Do your thing.

- Target's walking towards narz.

- I got him.

- Let's have it.
- It's not all here.

- What do you mean?

- I could only get some of it
for now.

- Gun!

[gunshots,
people screaming]

- Stop, police!

[gunshots]

[gunshot]

- [grunts]

- [shouts]

[grunting]

- Don't move!

Last warning!

Cuff him.

Terry egan.

Assault in '02, aggravated
battery in '05, robbery in 2011.

Two years in leavenworth.

And now murder, huh, terry?

- That layla must have been
an absolute panther in the sack,

Am i right?

- You two met at the sex club.

She started whispering
in your ear

How much she loved you, wished
you could run away together,

But the only way that could
happen is if asher's bye-bye.

- And you started thinking
to yourself, you know,

"why should this clown
have all the money

And the girl?"

- Here's what you don't know,

Before you killed him,

Your girlfriend switched out
the diamonds for fake ones.

- What the hell
are you talking about?

- I'm talking about two people
who had a plan.

One was smart,
and the other one was you.

- No.

No, you're just saying this
to try to get me to roll.

- It's fake.

- Terry, we have you trying
to fence those.

We have you showing up
at a museum for the money.

We have a cab driver putting you
at asher's murder scene.

I mean...

You're cooked.

- Look at me.

I want you to think straight
for me now,

'cause there's a lot
riding for this in terms of

Whether you take this ride
alone

Or if you can lay some off
on the wife.

Do you have any phone calls
or emails or witnesses?

Anything other
than just your word

That layla was involved
in this murder and theft?

- She didn't like to talk on
the phone or anything like that.

She said asher went through
all of her stuff.

- So the only time you two
talked about pulling this off

Was at the club?

- Yeah.

It was all her idea though.

We were supposed to run off
together, i swear to god.

I swear to god.

.

- So she set him up?

- Like a bowling pin.

- Hey, layla roslyn's out front.

She wants to talk to you.

- I heard you have terry
in custody.

I just realized i don't even
know his last name.

- Yeah, he's in custody.

He had some really interesting
things to say about you, layla.

- You think you know someone,
right?

- Why don't we go upstairs
and talk about it?

- No.

I've rented a house
on marco island.

Flight leaves in three hours,

Unless you have a warrant
for my arrest.

- Not yet.

- Here,
phone records

And credit card statements
you've been asking for.

You'll see that there was
absolutely no contact between me

And this, um,

Terry character
outside of the club.

I included my attorney's
information as well.

Oh, i also had my business
manager cut you a check

For your security services
the other night.

I didn't want that to get lost
in all the hubbub.

So...

I'll be in florida
if you need me.

Chicago winters...

Not for me.

- Hey.
- It's no joke upstairs.

- Yeah.

Still just want to stay
in uniform?

- Yeah, never know.

- Roman!

- Sergeant, my security business
is completely aboveboard.

This thing
that happened was one in a--

- Nice job today.

- Thank you.

- Lindsay.

- I've been trying to think
of the last time i had to ask

Someone twice if they wanted
to help run a task force,

And this is the first.

- We've really been
running and gunning this week.

I had to hit the pause button.

- May i make an observation?

- Sure.

- You're loyal to voight.
That's admirable.

But you're catching a rep
as voight's girl.

The longer you stay here,

The more that perception
takes hold,

And you're just gonna end up
carrying that

For the rest of your career.

- I should be so lucky.

- Erin,
you could be going places.

Or not.

- Steve, i appreciate the offer,

And i am considering it.

- I'll need to know
by next friday.

Then i move on.

- Hey, ed.
- Hey.

Congrats

But commander kelly's
asked for dawson's badge

Until the internal investigation
is over.

- Yeah, about that.

Antonio's been working
undercover on asher roslyn

For the last nine months.

- That's a pretty big thing
to forget, hank.

- Well, i've been busy.

The whole investigation

Just came apart
when roslyn got gunned down.

It's a real shame.

We were this close.

- This true?

- Yes.

- Yeah?

- Yes.

- Everything matches up,
you know?

Dates, cash payments,
c.I. Receipts.

It's all here.

Involved with the investigation?

- Yeah, officer roman's company
was used as a front.

Yeah, it's all here.
