The Chicago Code (2011): Season 1, Episode 3 - Gillis, Chase & Baby Face - full transcript

Jarek and Caleb arrive first on the scene at a bank robbery and chase the thief through the streets of Chicago only to find he has met a gruesome end. As the Chicago Police Department pieces together the clues of the robber, Superintendent Colvin conducts a critical meeting with Alderman Gibbons about a key construction site. Duplicitous politicking raises the stakes and further exposes the depth of corruption in the city.

Units at 18
and units on the Citywide,

we have an armed robbery
in progress at City North Bank,

1260 East Chestnut.

Keep your eyes on the right.

First unit on scene,
please advise.

Possible armed robbery at
City North Bank...

1260 East Chestnut.

We're the first ones here.

Chicago police!

Everyone just keep your hands
where they are. Nice and easy.

Can somebody tell me
where the shooters are?



They went downstairs.

How many? Two men, masks.

There were gunshots.

How long ago? A minute maybe.

We got cover. I'm going down.
Clear on the right.

I got a person down.
Person down.

Going down the right stairs.
Where'd the shooters go, ma'am?

They left about
30 seconds ago

out the back. I heard a car.

How many of them? Two.

Cover the right back door, Evers.
Right.

Male or female? Male. Male.

Black? White?

Clear! White, but they
were wearing masks.



- I was the one...
- Whoa, whoa, slow down.

What happened?
They took all the money

from the cash drawers.
Only I put

a GPS device in one of the bags.
It's activated.

C-PICK is reporting the tracking
signal moving southbound

on Wells Street, currently at
Madison Street.

Beat 5533 in pursuit.

5533, 10-4. Device now at Wells Street
and Adams. Madison to Adams...

They're on the El train.

Beat 5533, we've go armed
robbery offenders

on the El Train,

traveling west on the Brown Line
towards the Quincy stop.

Get cars to the
Quincy stop now.

Move, move.

Chicago police.
Just keep nice and calm.

Clear.

Evers? Clear.

This is Beat 5533.

We're on the Brown Line,

traveling towards LaSalle
and Van Buren.

We're gonna need this train
stopped before we get there.

Police. Nice and calm.

Did you guys see anything?

No. No?

What, we miss 'em? We miss 'em?

Dispatch, where does C-PICK
show our target's at? Over.

5533, C-PICK reports signal
is at Van Buren and LaSalle,

now moving south again.

He's on the train
in front of us.

Dispatch, cancel that
request to stop the train.

Just don't freak everyone out.

It's the only exit.

Go! Go! Go!

Go right, go right.

Did you
see where he went?

What? No? No.
I was just about to get on the train.

Ambulance to the southwest
corner of LaSalle and Van Buren.

We've got one down
with a GSW to the head.

Bank tracking device right here.

Now we're flying blind.

♪ Who's gonna hear you cry♪


♪ When there's more of them
than there are of you ♪

♪ Who's gonna hear you cry♪


♪ When the high winds come
and it takes your breath♪


♪ Who's gonna hear your voice ♪

♪ When violent men
wanna cut you down ♪

♪ And the sun is gone and the
dead of night is down ♪

♪ Who's gonna hear you cry♪


Guess our robbers find
the tracking device,

get ready to dump it,

this poor sap gets in
the way and bang.

Why not one more? He's already
put down a security guard.

We find any I.D. yet?

No, no I.D., and unfortunately
not much of a face either.

No wallet?

No, no wallet, nothing. No I.D.

He came off the train that way.
It's weird, right?

Can you get me Lieutenant Simons
at the 23rd District, please?

Superintendent,
we need to get going.

To what?

You have to remind her.

The dedication?
I'm afraid I'm not going.

The mayor's speaking.
Yes, he does that.

Listen, do me a favor.

You tell them that as
my chief of staff

you are there to show support.

And if anyone complains,
you mention to them

that there have been two
shootings and a bank robbery

and a killer with an MP5

in an area where schools
are about to let out.

Mary. Trying him now.

Any calls you need to make,

we can make from the car.

What are they dedicating again?

A boat? A boat launch.
It's on the south bank of the canal.

They spent a lot of money....
Simons' on line one.

There's a high school
band there.

There's going to be.. Lieutenant, I want to
make sure we're increasing police presence

in all school districts
for the next few hours.

Where can we pull from?

So, sir, you got a
look at the two robbers.

I did not get a look at them.

I explained that
to the other cop.

You already said you were standing
right next to one of the robbers.

Well, I was on the floor.
Okay, did you see what he had on his feet?

What shoes he was wearing?

White sneakers. High tops.

Any kind of design?

Laces. Green laces.

Like those?

You caught him already, huh?

Maybe. Uh, look, we
appreciate your help.

One of the guys is going
to get your contact details,

so just hang around.

So before he lost his face, our
dead guy was in on the heist.

Guess his partner wanted
all the money for himself.

That's one way to renegotiate.

Let's see if this
dead guy's got a rap sheet.

Best thing about being Chicago
PD is having 10,000 friends.

Unless, like me,
you work undercover.

Then you spend your whole day
acting like your enemies

are your friends
and vice-versa.

It's enough to get you mixed up

on which one's which.

What?

You can't bluff
to save your life.

Sure I can.

So how come you're broke?
It's a tactic.

Breaking down your defenses.

It's already working.

I'm surprised to see

that you got out of bed.

Bubba likes to sleep till 4:00.

So?

So you're lucky you got a job.

What do you do?

I work construction.

What he means to say is,

he gets paid
to not do construction.

Isn't that right, fat boy?

There are guys on the payroll

who don't come to work.

So the city pays the bills

and then the guys come to us...
we split the paycheck.

And the man in City Hall.

Who's the man in City Hall?

The guy who
gave me this gig.

My old man did Gibbons
some favors once...

Shut your stupid mouth!
What the hell you thinking?

Let me ask you, Bubba.

You got money here
to buy into this game.

So why are you short
the last two weeks?

I was waiting to win it
all from you.

I feel like I got
a rush coming on.

Get the door.

You think you can stiff us
for two weeks running

and then just come in here
and play cards with us?

Please!

- All right, Evers, let's hear it.
- Wysocki.

- First on the scene.
- Yo, Moose.

What's up?

Can't come talk to us?

Man, I'm busy. What's going on?
You're busy, huh?

Well, I thought you might want
to say good-bye to Jonesy

before he retires.

You're a little young
to be kicking it

on a pontoon boat, huh?
Yeah. Tell me about it.

You're a piece of work.

What do you mean by that?

What, I miss something?

Yeah, your best buddy,
Superintendent Colvin

is running him off the force.

This is the
first I heard of it, man.

It's got nothing to do with me.

I mean, as far
as I'm concerned,

Jonesy's good police.

You better get that.

Might be the superintendent

asking for more recommendations
for her hit list.

Wysocki.

Hey, it's Liam.

I got something for you.

Are you on a secure line?

Yeah. All right, go.
What do you got?

Hey, Evers.

Rothman, what up?

I hear David Mullens is
looking for a new partner.

I think maybe you two
should team up.

No one is going to blame
you if you trade horses.

Don't let Wysocki drag you down.

Come on, kid, let's roll.

Eh, Moosekian.

Pearson wants
to schedule a call.

I told him you have
the CAPS meeting.

So that's probably going
to run from at least 11:30

till about 12:45, knowing the way they
take their time. Excuse me, everyone,

I need to have a word

with Detective Wysocki please.

Just be a minute. Thank you.

Oh. Should I...?

Thank you, Bill.

Next time you decide to retire
a senior detective

in my division, it might be nice
if you gave me a heads-up.

Everybody, everybody
thinks I'm behind it.

Are there any other decisions I should
be running by you? I'm serious.

Moosekian just bawled me out
in front of everybody.

Did he make you cry?

Did it hurt your feelings? No.

Jonesy and his two buddies
were running a tow truck scam.

All right, they were giving
their friends an early heads-up

about cars in distress.

I didn't know.
No, you wouldn't.

Because Jonesy
offered to resign

rather than to submit
to a department investigation.

Although I'm sure he's spinning
it to all his boys

as if I'm the Wicked Witch
of the West.

Well, something like that, yeah.

Yeah, well, it wouldn't
be the first time.

You said Liam called.

What was it about?

Hugh Killian...
you familiar with him?

One of the top players
in the Irish mob.

Hides behind some
front company, right?

Dansworth Construction.

Him and his mob buddies are pulling the
usual tricks... timesheets for no-shows,

overbilling, double billing,
you name it.

Hey, the mob overcharges...
I'm shocked.

And they got
a big city contract,

which according to Liam,
Gibbons made happen.

What do you mean "made happen"?

Well, he's not on
it officially,

but according to Liam, he's
behind it, pulling the strings

and taking his cut.

Do we have proof?

Well, if an overheard
conversation

between two Irish drunks
is proof, yeah.

If only it were, my God,
the job would be so much easier.

So?

Come on, we can do
something about this.

Look, I was positive that Gibbons
was the one who tried to kill me.

Who killed Antonio, all right?

But I was wrong, and quite
frankly, so were you.

What are you saying?

I'm saying how do we know
anything about him?

Really, how do we know?
We feel it.

You feel it? Yeah.

This is all innuendo.

You know, Saddam Hussein
never even had WMDs,

but he let the world
think that he did.

Why? Because it made him
seem more powerful.

What if Gibbons is
doing the same thing?

What if he's just
encouraging these rumors,

letting everyone think that
he has wiseguy connections

so that no one crosses him?

What if it's exactly
as it looks like?

All right, let's
test your theory then.

We'll go hard on
the construction site.

We'll get city inspectors from building,
electrical, licensing, sanitation.

Good. If Gibbons reacts,
we know he's in on it.

Exactly. You know what?
And you get Ernie's team

to issue moving violations to
every truck that rolls through.

You want organized crimes
writing the tickets on this?

Well, sends a message, don't you think?
He's not going to like it.

What, you think it
should be someone else?

No. I think Ernie's
the right guy for this.

All right.

Let's clap our hands...
see if Gibbons jumps.

Got an I.D. on our
faceless bank robber.

James T. Littleton.
Did time in Stateville.

Twice for armed robbery,
once for vehicular hijacking.

Well, he's certainly
got the pedigree.

Also, I called the hospital
to check on our security guard,

and she's in surgery. So...

Okay.

Uh, are you okay?

Why?

All that crap with Jonesy
and Moosekian

getting in your face... No.
I wouldn't worry about the Moose.

Karma sent him
to a construction site

with a book full of tickets.

Right. So check it out.

I pulled the contact cards
for Littleton...

to find his running mates.

His last two street stops

were with this solid citizen...

Samuel Robbins.

Long rap sheet.

Even better than that,

the prosecutor on
his last arrest

said he spent six months
in a psych ward.

Violent and crazy.
Why do these two always like to mix?

No known address on this guy.
Of course.

Okay, let's pay
faceless's pad a visit,

see what we can dig up
about his nutso friend.

That's our dead guy's car.

Plates match.

Sleeping bag,

bunch of clothes.

Somebody's taking a road trip.

Hood's warm.

Beat 5533, requesting cars
to 1650 West Harlem.

We've got a possible on the
offender from the bank robbery.

5533, 10-4.

Available units
to 1650 West Harlem.

15 in a ten?

15 in a ten?!

Yes, sir. And by my math,

that's five miles per hour
more than the posted limit.

You're in plainclothes.

Organized crime division.

Should be doing
real police work.

So how come you're
writing tickets?

Trust me, we're almost
as annoyed as you are.

Units in two,
we have a request from 5533.

All available units
to 1650 West Harlem.

Possible suspect sighting.

Go ahead, 52.

5533... that's Jarek.
As much as I'd love

to hightail it over there,
your uncle gave us a job to do,

so we're gonna do it.

Excuse me

while a write a parking ticket.

That's him... that's
Samuel Robbins. That's him.

Where's the backup?

We're going in, let's go.

Police! Stop!

Squad 10-1, 1650 West Harlem!

Send all available cars now!

Send cars!

I can't get a shot off.

Sweetie, move out of the way!
Behind the car!

I'll cover you, okay?

Evers, talk to me!
What's going on, man?!

He's gone.

Squad, where's the backup?!

Yeah!

Congratulations, fellas.

29 and 1 record,
state championship.

I expect to see some of y'all playing
for the Bulls one day, right?

Uh-uh-uh, after you go to
college and get a degree.

Agreed?

There's some gifts waiting
on you guys outside, okay?

Go get 'em.

Good job. Congratulations.

Keep those grades up.
Keep those grades up.

Make sure they get everything
they need out there, all right?

Thank you. Appreciate it.

Ronin, do you know anything
about city departments

cracking down on job sites?
No. Why?

I just got a phone call.

The Benton Street project's
getting hassled.

For what?

Sounds like petty stuff to me.

Don't I have an appointment

with the superintendent later on?
Yes, you do.

Make sure you come with.

300 rounds of
armor-piercing ammo.

Oh, my God, you
got to be kidding.

No wonder he was
shooting at us, huh?

We got his whole haul
from the bank job.

He was desperate
and trigger-happy before.

What's he going to be like now?

20 minutes after I call...
now you just what,

stroll up, huh?
Go easy, man. Easy!

Easy to put you in a hospital.

And me and my partner
and a little girl

almost got our heads shot off!

We're the first ones here?

Yes, you're the first ones here.

All you missed was some guy

spraying the neighborhood
with a submachine gun.

And thanks to you,

he got away.

Wysocki, we were halfway across
town when the call came in.

There's three other units
who should be here.

Moosekian's crew
was the closest?

Where are they?

All right, where's Moosekian?

Somewhere else. Fine, Thomas.

I'm going to start with you.

Where were you

when the "officer needs
assistance" call went out?

Which call was that?
Well, you were either out of your car

with both your
radios turned off,

or you and I have
a very serious problem.

Oh, because you both
heard it, didn't you?

You all heard the call.

But none of you answer.

You left my partner and I

to get our asses shot off!

Give me one reason why

I shouldn't wipe
the floor with you!

Look, we weren't
trying to get you hurt.

It's about the guys being
run off the force lately.

Moosekian said

you're feeding names
to the superintendent.

Said we should freeze you
out for a day or two,

to show a little solidarity.

Solidarity? Yeah.

And I'm really sorry.

Tell Moosekian
I'm looking for him.

All right, last item...

three burglaries in the
past month, near Shaw,

right around Brook Street.

We'll pay special attention
to that neighborhood.

That's what I want to hear.
Thank you.

Anything else?

Oh, we've taken
enough of your time.

Good to see you again.

Thank you, Alderman.

Oh, actually, Superintendent,

there is one more little thing.

Yes?

Wait, we're not done?

It's just a little thing.

Dansworth Construction.

They've got a building
on Benton Street.

They feel they've been targeted

with excessive fines
and ticketing.

I'm sorry, Benton Street...

is that, is that site
in your ward?

No, no, it's not.

I'm not sure where your interest
in this project lies.

Where it is again?

It's Benton and 23rd.

Well, what I can tell you is I've got
a lot of constituents in my ward

who are construction workers...

carpenters, truckers.

They need those jobs,
Teresa, desperately.

Now it seems to me, in this
economy we should be doing

everything we can do to help
those people stay in their jobs.

But, look, this is your call.

And I respect that.

I can call the Department
of Building...

I'll take another look at it.

Thanks again. Sure.

And you too, Mr. Hampton.

Alderman. Thank you.

I didn't mean
to step on your toes.

If you want to call the D.O.
B. Yourself, that's great.

Just ask them to go easy
on this one construction site

and then we'll tell them...

I'd like them to shut it down.

Shut it down?

The alderman who controls

this entire department's
purse strings

just asked us to lay off.

I am aware, and I'm asking you
to have the site closed.

This is about Gibbons,

right?

Look, I know I was forced

on you by the mayor's office,

but I can't be useful to you
unless you share your thoughts.

Look, when I have proof,

I will bring you up to speed,
I promise.

But until then, it's best
if I handle this on my own.

You mean with Wysocki.

It's not personal, Bill.

I know that.

I'll call them and tell them
you want the site closed.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.
All right, bye-bye.

Who's that?

Robbins' old doctor
at the psych ward.

I told her that he had shot
two people and robbed a bank.

She told me she wasn't
even surprised.

He's paranoid, delusional,
doesn't trust anyone.

Did she say why
they let him out?

Yeah, the treatment
was too expensive.

It's cheaper to chase him, huh?

Unbelievable.

Something on your mind, kid?

No.

Yes.

The deal that you have
with the superintendent,

where you get to take
whatever case you want...

Yeah, what about it?
Well, I think it's great

that we get to take over all
these high-profile cases

and then you get to oversee

the entire investigation... But?

But it puts us on the outside
of everybody else.

So? Superintendent Colvin's

not winning any popularity
contests right now.

Your point?

Moose isn't the only one
talking smack.

Guys from the locker room,
guys... buddies of mine

from my old district.

Think I'm Teresa's snitch, huh?

And as your partner...
As my partner...

well, that doesn't have to be
a permanent situation, kid.

We're not married.
Okay, hold on.

I'm just asking... do you think
that it's all worth it?

I want to do my job.

But if we can't even trust
other cops to have our backs,

this job gets dangerous.

Yes, it does.

All units on Citywide,

shots fired
at 310 North Williams Street.

Looking for a white male...

Could be our guy. Hang on.

You're clear up here
on the right.

All right, what's going on?

Neighbors heard shots
fired, called it in.

We're taking fire
from whoever's inside.

Fully automatic weapon?
Something smaller.

Ooh!

That doesn't sound
like our guy.

No, well, we got his ammo.

So maybe he got
himself a handgun.

All right, you guys
are going to take the rear.

We're going to go in
the front door, okay?

All right, you good?

All right, let's go.

Police! Drop the gun!

Hands! Hands! Hands! Hands!

I thought he was
trying to kill me.

What happened?

I got held up,
but only had $50.

This guy was saying he would
come back and kill me.

How long ago?

A few minutes ago.
The offender fled the building

out the back.
You guys see anything?

Recognize any of these guys?

This is the guy! This one?

Yes. Who is he?

You can still take it though.
Hang on, I'll be back in a second.

Better late than never, huh?

I came by to say I'm sorry.

Yeah? For what?

A dozen officers
failed to show up

and your own niece
was one of them.

Moosekian definitely gave that
order though? Yeah, of course he did.

What if something had happened?
It's fine. Nothing happened.

Yeah, but if something had... It's fine.
It's okay. Nothing happened all right?

Any of the guys just
busting your chops about me?

Don't worry, I don't stick up for you.

That's a good plan.

Seriously though, just
keep a low profile...

until I get this sorted out.

You don't need to be paying my bills.
No, thank you.

Superintendent,
you know my niece.

Superintendent.

Officer Wysocki.
Nice to see you.

Excuse us, please. Sure.

You're always
chasing people off.

You ever notice that?

I'm just saying.

Gibbons came by today.

Asked me to go easy on
Dansworth Construction.

Indirectly, of course.

What'd you do?

Shut the site down.

So now Killian's
blaming Gibbons.

I think it's time
we had a chat with Killian.

You let Evers
take the lead here.

Tell him you'll catch up.

Ride with me.

How about you tell me

where we're going,
and I'll get myself there.

Yeah, you look
like the kind of guy

that would know
where Hugh Killian is.

Huh? Is he here?

Am I right?

Work off some of that weight
and go and fetch him, huh?

And you know the drill,
so why don't you just beat it.

Make sure Gibbons
hears about this.

What's the commotion?

This place is known for
its peaceful ambiance.

I'm sure.

We're just about to sit down.

Why don't you join us?

You tried the food here?

They got a shepherd's pie
that'll blow your mind.

Not to mention it could
feed a small village.

I think we'll pass, buddy.

We're here to talk about
Dansworth Construction.

I'm more... a silent
partner now.

Really?

So then you won't mind if

the construction site
on Benton Street

is closed permanently.

See, we don't even
really need to arrest you.

Just dry up your income, put a
serious cramp in your lifestyle.

Yeah, you must have a pretty
steep dry-cleaning bill...

fancy suit like that.

Since you two sat down here,

I've been waiting patiently,
I think you'd agree,

to hear what the
hell it is you want.

Here it is.

You've been working with
a city official,

someone who's supposed to be
protecting you from all of this.

That's who we want.

You give us a name,
we'll back off of you.

I do business with hundreds
of city officials.

I wouldn't know where to start.

Think it over.

And when the money dries up,

ask yourself
who your friends really are.

She just got out of surgery.

She's not supposed
to have visitors yet.

We understand, okay?

We just... we're trying to
catch the man that did this.

Time is of the essence;
just a couple of questions.

Please. Please.

Just don't upset her.

We won't, we won't. Let's go.

How you doing?

Ethel, I'm Detective Wysocki,
and this is Detective Evers.

Just gonna show you
a couple of pictures

for you to take a look at.

Do you recognize
any of these men?

They were wearing
masks during the robbery,

but did you see
any of them in the bank

in the days leading up to it?
Mm-mm.

No?

What do you remember
from the robbery?

Someone, someone took my gun.

These two men.

Uh, they made me help them
with the cash drawers.

Yeah.

Uh, one of them
hit me over the head,

and then he shot me.

And then he shot you.

Why do you think he shot you?

He thought I hit the alarm.

He shot you
because you hit the alarm?

The shots were fired
before the alarm went off.

According to our witnesses.

Which one was it?

Did the alarm go off
before or after you were shot?

Um...

It's okay. No, it's okay.

Just think. Please, just think.

Okay, I'm sorry,
we have to stop.

Did the shots go off
and then the alarm or...

Excuse me, you have to stop.

You're not even
supposed to be here.

No, it's okay,
seriously. Sorry.

She's in pain.
Thank you very much.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Nurse?

She lying to us?

Yeah, I think so.

Well, you know, I
can think of, uh,

smarter places for us to meet.

Come to think of it, that'd be
most other places in the city.

I wanted you
to see this for yourself.

Seven grand a day

just to rent the machinery
we got in there.

It'd be nice to know
when we'll turn it back on.

Now, there must be a reason
that Teresa's targeting you.

Either somebody on your end
spilled the beans or...

You do your job,
and I'll do mine.

And your job is to protect us
from that bitch.

I spoke with Teresa.

I specifically
mentioned this site.

Then she puts a lock
across the gate.

What does that say about your
pull with the superintendent?

For all we know,

you're the reason
she's clamping down.

You know something I don't?

Plenty.
Well, then why don't you...

Let's stay on topic.

You told me
you helped her get the job

because you could control her.

This your idea of control?

Put your house in order.

Don't you threaten me, Hugh.

It's not productive
and it's not polite.

Hey!

You're used to being the man

who gives orders.

But when you're dealing with me,
it's about leverage.

Who needs the other guy more.

Who's got more to lose.

You understand?

So I'm telling you
it's your job to fix it.

Right now...
it's your only job.

Because if I wake up one day
and decide I don't need you...

that changes everything.

You and I... we have different
priorities, and that's fine.

But we also have
a lot in common.

How's that?

You've worked with
heavy hitters.

You carry a lot
of responsibility.

You'd think.

Mr. Hampton,
you're Teresa Colvin's

chief of staff.

I respect Teresa.

But she's got her favorites.

Just like anyone, I guess.

I get the feeling
you're not one of them.

And neither are you,
as a matter of fact.

Yeah, I...
get that feeling, too.

Mind if I take one?

Ah, please, please.

Cuban.

Nice, ah.

Uh-huh.

You mind if I get to it?

No.

You want to know what
Teresa's next move is

on the Dansworth
Construction project.

Maybe we can discuss
what I want

and what I'm willing to do.

I am listening.

I'd need a monthly stipend.

Off the books, of course,
and in cash.

In return, I'll keep you

one step ahead of
the superintendent.

And when she's gone,
you put me up for the super job.

You have a number in mind
for these services

you're intending on providing?

Mr. Hampton...

I can't tell you how
happy I am you stopped by.

With your sister
recovering from her surgery,

we thought maybe you could
answer some questions for us.

Yeah, of course.

Do you know who
this gentleman is?

No, I've never seen him.

Is he the one who shot her?

Yeah.

Samuel Robbins.

They went to
high school together.

Same year.

I don't recognize him.

They couldn't have been friends.
No?

They sat in the same classes.

Couple of the same committees.

Yearbook committee, was it?

Your sister's been having

some financial problems...
is that right?

She lost her house.

Half the people in
this neighborhood lost houses.

Wait, now, Ethel's doing good.

She lives with us;
she works her butt off.

She's in that hospital
fighting for her life.

Now, what are you
trying to tell me?

That she's a bank robber?

Why'd he shoot her, then?
Robbins robbed

a bank with another man,

shot him and killed him
right afterwards.

Did you speak
with Ethel yesterday?

Did you speak
with Ethel yesterday?

We were set to celebrate
my daughter's birthday,

and she got called into work.

That's what she told you?
What do you mean, told me?

Ethel didn't work yesterday;
we spoke to the bank manager.

No, I was right here...

the phone rang, and it
was someone from the bank.

That phone?

Alderman.

Lieutenant.

Where is he?

He's inside.

He says he only wants
to talk to you.

Anybody else know about this?

No, it's just me and my man.

Finally!

Where were you?

Would you give us some privacy
for a moment?

I just got the call... what
the hell happened here?

They arrested me! For what?

They found child pornography
in my garage.

What? It's not mine.

Whose is it, then?
They planted it

to frame me. Who?

Superintendent Colvin
or someone working for her.

They can't get me by playing it
straight, so she sets me up.

Thinks she can squeeze me
into giving up your name.

Nah, nah, nah,
I don't think so.

You don't think what?

Teresa Colvin's got way too much
integrity to frame someone.

Nah, nah, nah, I'm
not buying that.

Can you get me out of this?

Probably, but what
good would that do,

if we don't figure out
who did this to you?

You think it was
someone in my crew?

No. You keep all those
fellas in line, right?

Yeah. Well, who, then?

Could be somebody else
close to you.

There is no one!
Now, think, Hugh, think.

Somebody else...
really close to you.

I mean...

really, really,

really close to you.

You did this to me?

Lieutenant Kelly?

Yes, Alderman?

What's the mandatory sentence for
possession of child pornography?

It's a minimum eight years, uh,

but there's a lot of
nasty stuff in there.

You know, jury sees that and...

You son of a bitch.

And how do kiddy lovers
tend to get treated

in prison, Lieutenant Kelly?

Not well, really.

I would say, uh, not well.

You... both of you... you think
you're doing this to me?

What I think is that you're
in a lot of trouble, Hugh.

And I'm asking you,
would you like my help?

I'm gonna end you.

Why are you getting mad?

All I did was take
your lesson to heart.

My lesson? About leverage.

About who needs who more.

Now would you
like my help, Hugh?

Or should I have Lieutenant
Kelly here make an arrest?

I'd like your help.

Say it like you mean it, Hugh.

I would like your help.

Good.

Because I really want
to give it to you.

But understand...

Lieutenant Kelly
and his friends

are going to hold on to
that evidence, in case

the relationship between you
and I should deteriorate.

Or if something... anything...

should happen to me
or my loved ones,

and I mean anything.

Am I understood?

Completely.

Very good.

Lieutenant Kelly,

let's get rid of all that
pornographic garbage.

Put everything back
where we found it,

and let Mr. Killian here get
back to his evening. Yes, sir.

Hugh... nice house.

Thanks.

Heard you had a breakthrough.

Yeah, we did.

We got an address on the shooter...
we're heading there now.

All right.
Well, let me know how it goes.

I will. You got any updates
on our friendly alderman?

Not yet.

At least now we know
who we're dealing with.

Just a matter of time before
everyone else knows, too.

Stay safe. Will do.

I was
watching the stuff...

It was very, very, very close.

We'll get them
international exposure.

Alderman.

Teresa.

I'm sorry we didn't
give you more warning.

I'm here on a matter...

It's important.

This is Assistant U.S. Attorney
Desmond Harris.

Good to meet you.

This is William Hampton,
my chief of staff.

Why don't we move
into my office.

Teresa,
this should probably

be a private meeting.
Just the three of us.

Well, Bill is
my chief of staff.

Anything that we have...

For the purpose of
this conversation,

Mr. Hampton should
not be present.

What's going on?

Bill, would you
excuse us, please?

So what's this about?

Well, given some of the conversations
you and I have had recently,

there's something
you should hear

before I have to speak
to the press.

Speak to the press about what?

Corruption inside
your administration.

What kind of corruption?

Play the tape.

...construction project.

Maybe we can discuss what I want

and what I'm willing to do.

William
Hampton, your chief of staff.

I need a monthly stipend...

off the books, of course,
and in cash.

In return, I'll
keep you one step ahead

of the superintendent.

And when she's gone, you put me
up for the super job.

All right.

Given how serious
this is, Teresa...

your chief of staff
soliciting a bribe...

you understand my obligation
to go public, right?

You look good.

New fashion statement.

Detective.

Sergeant.

What's our status?
Fill him in, Evers.

We checked his phone history,

and the call to our wounded bank
guard came from Apartment 4-D

in this building.
It's registered to an old lady.

She's just renting
the place out.

Does not live on the premises.

Okay, is anyone in there? No idea.
We're going to take the lead.

You two are going to follow.

Moose, Sanchez, you cover the back.
Is that good with you?

Yeah. All right, let's do it.

All right...

We gonna yell "Police"?

You just did.

Police!

Go! Go! Go!

Chicago Police! CPD!

Clear.

Clear.

Clear.

The back door's open.

Moose, you see
anything out there?

We got shots fired!

Shots fired in the back!

Keep behind me.

Call it.

As an elected representative
of this great city,

I cannot and I will not
stay quiet

in the face of such a blatant
betrayal of my constituents.

Now this...

corruption took place

in the office of the police
superintendent of this city,

at the highest level,
makes this an outrage

and a violation that needs
to be addressed.

And let me say, on behalf
of the people of Chicago,

we will not stand for this!

Damn it!

Superintendent,
are you okay?

I'm fine!

I'm fine.

You know the bright side
of this?

Mandatory days off.

Officer-involved shooting.

Yeah, right after the paperwork
and the prostate exam.

Wysocki.

Couple things to say.

Obviously, thanks...

for keeping that clown from
putting a few extra holes in me.

You know, when I told the guys to
freeze you out for a couple days,

I never meant
to put you in danger.

It was stupid.

I was way out of line.

And I'm sorry.

I really am.

So? So?

So, are we cool?

What are you doing?!
What are you doing?!

Wysocki... What are you doing?!

I just apologized!
You didn't hear me?!

We could have arrested the guy!

We could have arrested him!

Instead I killed a man
because you were playing games!

Get off of me!

Yeah.

Roger, this is
Detective Wysocki.

Wysocki, this is
Lieutenant Kelly,

my new chief of staff.

Heard a lot about you.

Congrats on the job. Thank you.

Wish I got it under
different circumstances,

but I guess I shouldn't
complain.

While I
have you both here,

there's something
that I wanted to say.

It's about Ronin Gibbons.

Yeah, I saw the press conference...
Jarek, just please. Let me just say this.

You know, for a long time,
I was convinced

that Gibbons was guilty
of any number of crimes.

And I tried everything
I could to prove it.

Without any success.

Now I'm embarrassed that it's
taken me this long to see it,

but while I might not
like the way he operates,

he's not breaking any laws.

So, from here on out,
the witch hunt is over.

All right, we're
just going to focus

on protecting this city
from the real criminals.

Now does anyone have
a problem with that?

Jarek? No.

Good.

All right, you have
that case file for me?

The uh... Which one?

You were going to walk
me through the case file.

Yes, right here. Yeah.
This will just take a minute.

Sure. Hey, look forward
to working with you.

Absolutely.

Good luck.

All right, so found
out where the guy lives.

Why don't you trust him?
He was forced on me.

He's supposedly
the mayor's choice,

only I don't think the mayor's
ever even heard of him.

Then I learned Kelly spent the first five
years on the force

working in Gibbons' ward.

Okay, so we got to be careful
what we say around headquarters.

Yeah, but on the bright side, he
doesn't know that we're onto him,

so we can funnel any intel
we want to Gibbons.

That's not exactly taking
Gibbons on head to head.

I don't mind
sucker-punching Gibbons,

as long as it knocks him out.

Carry on, Detective.

Okay, boss.
