Hey, Mom.

Hey!

Do you want to bless the food?

No, no.

Hold on, man. I got it.

What's wrong? I need you to help me. What is it? Are you hurt? No, no, no.

fine. It's Ivan.

They just took him right in front of me. Brenda, Brenda, take a breath. Take a

breath. Come in.

I was picking him up from the market from his work, and then he came outside,

and these three men, they came out of nowhere and started grabbing him and

took him towards this van. And then I tried to get them off of him. They

me, and then they threw him into the van, and they drove off. Could you get a

look at their faces, skin color, anything like that? No, they had masks

What color was the van?

White. I told the 911 police lady all of this. Oh, so you called 911? Yes, and I

waited for like half an hour. Nobody came, so then I showed up here.

And you have no idea who could be doing this.

Was Ivan having any problems?

What? Was he involved in anything? Did he owe anybody money?

What kind of a question is that? You know, Ivan is a good man. You need to be

out there finding him, not accusing him. I'm trying to do my job. Well, I need

you to do better, please.

Okay.

What?

What is it?

I think Ivan just made a withdrawal from an ATM. Wait, hold up. How much did you

see? $1 ,940.

And $2 ,000 is your max withdrawal?

Yes, why?

Ma, llévalo a su casa.

Hijo, lo tienes que encontrar. I don't believe that something happened to him.

don't think that I could have.

I'm going to do everything that I can.

Yeah, alert came in at 11 .48 p .m.

Withdrawal from personal account.

How far are you from the ATM?

Seven blocks.

Okay, good.

Just head over there, secure the scene, check for cameras, maybe grab a plate

off that van.

I'll meet you over there. All right, Sarge, I know this guy, Ivan. I know his

family. My mom shops at a supermarket. I play basketball with his son. You know,

I just, I got to get him back.

All right, so let's get to it then.

Thank you.

Sergeant, I'm pulling up to the ATM.

I have eyes on Ivan Irvin. What? What about the offender? No, it looks like

alone. I don't see a van.

He's taking out more money right now. I have no idea what's going on. Okay, move

in light. Keep your head on a swivel. I'm still a mile out. All right.

Hey, Ivan, Ivan.

Your wife told me you were in trouble.

Dante? Yes, what happened?

Dante!

Get anything on that bed? Oh, we got nothing yet. They stayed out the way of

bank cameras and there's no files in there. If his cameras are under

maintenance. Monty's camera's in the scene right now for witnesses, but I

think anybody saw anything good because their friend is with masks and gloves.

What about that ATM camera?

That I do have.

Bank security just sent over the footage from the first withdrawal.

Here we go.

And there's that knowledge. Devoided the can.

Yep. At 11 .48 p .m., they make just under the max withdrawal, hold anchor.

right after midnight, they do it all over again. They're double dipping,

for the daily cap to reset.

That sounds like a flash kidnapping. That happens all the time in Latin

They take a victim to an ATM, and they bleed him out dry. It's a quick and easy

payout for them.

Contacted SF4 for sure. We got a trap and trace on Alvarez's bank card. Soon

anything pops, we'll know. They've already been made, though.

If they're smart, they won't hit the APMs again. Let's hope they're not

Get eyes on every branch of that bank. We work at Canvas.

They run the citywide through violent crimes for any abduction with a similar

.O. All right, let's go. Like I said, I saw the van, but the master's

only came out when the weapon here showed up.

That's when things popped off.

Okay, so you didn't get a plate, be looking at the driver or anything?

Your boy didn't.

Answer the question, please.

I wasn't enough for you?

Want me to do your taxes, too? Yo, someone just got kidnapped, man. How are

just focusing on that? Ah, no te importamos, verdad?

Who hasn't been focused on posting for a minute?

People getting snatched up out the streets, dudes pulling double -headers.

Snatched up?

So you heard of this before? People getting grabbed up in 18?

Paseo Millonario.

Millionaire tour.

So y 'all gonna do something about it now, or are you just hunting down some

rich dude's gold like Sunago Coast?

Thanks for your cooperation.

You good? Yeah.

Good scratch.

You know, I understand, man, when it's your people, your hood.

But you got to take care of yourself before you take care of that.

And would you listen to that speech?

I regretted it every time I did.

Get stitched up. We need you, Osher.

Ivan Alvarez lives in Pilsen. Owns the Mi Mundo supermarket.

Guy's got no prize, not even a parking ticket.

Dude's done well for himself.

Probably why he was targeted.

Latino supermarket cash, heavy retail.

This place clears 20 ,000 a day.

All right, so robbery homicide has five open abduction cases that may match our

crew's MO.

All in Tilsen, all in the last three months, but the records are crap. Files

all super thin. I don't know if it's Spanish speakers or poor translators or

victims. Well, not enough police working in Tilsen. 12th District is under

staff. We're running up against a wave right there. Also that.

They're sending over the file. It's going to take a second to sort through.

Okay, what do we have on that bed?

Still nothing.

We're looking, but no cams or pods, no leads on place.

Can't even lodge an investigative alert with what we got. We got six undercover

eyes on different branches in the area, nothing yet.

It's not a good sign.

These hits are meant to be hot, quick, low risk.

If these guys know Torres is police, if they know police are on to them, they're

going to know they can't hit any more ATMs. At which point, Alvarez is not

to hold any more useful.

He worked for a ransom.

Here's Brenda. Well, either way, the clock just sped up. We get a trap and

on Brenda's phone?

Working on it. Well, make it happen. Where's Torres?

Getting stitched up.

I'm going to send a man.

You should really get the man. I'm not supposed to be doing this.

This isn't just a surface cut. You might need deep dermal sutures.

This will do for now.

Let me give you some painkillers. I said this will do.

Thank you.

I'll get you a bandage.

Brenda!

Hey, it's Officer Torres.

Brenda? Hey.

What up, compa?

Hey, Dante.

Where's your mom at?

She's out fish.

All right.

Is my dad okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, you know he's... He's gonna be fine.

Right?

Brenda? Stop at your turret.

Brenda!

Was that them?

The men who took Ivan?

Did they make a demand?

Huh?

Set up a ransom drop?

Hey, Brenda.

Brenda, it's okay. Give me your phone.

Come here. Give me your phone.

Give me your phone.

Brenda. Brenda, listen to me.

I'm police.

I'm here to get Ivan back safe.

No, I need you out of my house now.

What? No, no, no. I want you to leave, Dante.

Brenda.

Whatever they told you... Nick, I don't want to talk to police. I can help. You

cannot, okay? Get out of my house now.

Listen to me.

I'm from right down the block, okay? You know me.

Born and raised. Born and raised, all right?

I'm on your side.

You have to trust me. What?

I waited. I waited and I called the cops and no one came.

Did you know that there have been more of these?

Yes. We're looking into the previous ones right now. Now?

After all these months, all Horacio's been down the street telling me that

have already been five of... Brenda, listen to me.

You need my help.

No, I do not. I need my husband home safe.

I need to protect my family. I need God to protect us. And I need you out of my

house now.

Now. Get out. Now. Now. Get out. Now.

No. So what else do we have?

Still nothing on the van. Brenda's phone carrier gave us the number that called

her. It's a prepaid mobile sold at a local corner store.

All right, can we get the tower location?

No, because the call duration lasted only four minutes. Just enough time to

out demand, amount, location.

Yeah, and I'm guessing that burner's turned off now.

Yeah, the provider said it was the first time it was turned on. Imani's headed

to the corner store where it was purchased now.

All right, monitor that burner so we know when it's back up and keep digging

into past abductions. I want to ID this crew before they make the drop.

Copy. Listen to me.

Keep an eye on Brenda. The second she moves, we move with her.

Sarge, I got Brenda coming out of her house.

She's holding an empty duffel bag.

I think she's gonna go get that ransom money. Just stay with her, I'm hitting

the team up now.

Alright, copy you.

He went into a bank on Washington and Racine.

I'm set up to the west.

All right, Dante, we got you. Just land it at your 12 o 'clock.

Yeah, I see you.

That's her.

She's loaded up.

This job could be happening now.

Dante, you stay tight. We'll take a long eye.

Yeah, I'm en route northbound on Halsted. She headed home?

No. It's opposite direction, on Canal.

Okay, keep calling it out.

Bypassing 18.

Approaching 16.

I got her turning left on 14th Street.

I'm gonna take this turn, but no other.

Copy you.

I'm westbound on 14th getting plenty enough.

Alright, she just parked her vehicle in front of the outdoor market at 14th and

South Peoria.

She's on foot.

Duffel bag in hand.

She's going inside.

Sergeant, following her in.

This has got to be where she's making the drop.

All right, we're in the area throwing down an anchor on University near the

entrance. There's no back exit to this place. Yeah, it's just current.

I'm heading in the west end again, and I... I got families and kids out in

If she's headed for a drop point, we don't have a clear line.

There's no way to mitigate the risk of moving in. Jim, Adam, you set up for a

takeaway in any direction. Torres, you keep eyes on Brenda.

Keep real low.

Copy you.

She won't have her walking.

Any sign of an offender?

No contact.

Hasn't used her phone. Nothing here.

Has Brennan dropped the bag?

The bag's still on the move.

Get closer, but stay in the shadows.

She's slowing down.

She's waiting.

Far east corner.

She seems nervous.

I don't know why she's not dropping the bag.

Maybe this isn't the spot.

Wait, hold up, hold up, hold up.

I got a male, 40s, bald, 6 foot.

He's approaching Brenda.

Yeah, I see him.

Give me the bag and walk away.

Something's not right.

She's not handing it over.

Hey, hey, hey, stop.

Just hold him. Just hold your position.

Give me the bag.

Give me the... Give me the... Give me the... Hey, hey, hey. Give me the...

gun, gun.

Hey! Security!

He's dead.

Stay with her.

Okay, call it in.

Hey, we split and search for other offenders. Move.

5021 Ocean.

Emergency. Shots fired by the police.

Offender down. 1400 South Peoria.

Hey, you can't touch him. You can't touch him.

There's no one left to fight him now.

How are we going to fight him?

St. Anthony, please.

Pass. Sending you a printout now.

Got it?

Okay.

So, we have no sign of any other offenders. No sign of the white van.

The dead offender had no keys, phone, or wallet on him, so he's got no leads as

to where he was headed with the cash.

I got a hit on the prince, Ross Scoobin.

Used to work at a delivery company, often knowing couple priors for

Okay, we got him on can centering the market?

Not yet. No idea how this Scoobin got here.

But what about his LK?

He used to live in Garfield Park, according to his landlord. He skipped

three weeks ago.

But we do have a car registered to his name, a 2014 Corolla, but that was not

the market. I'm working on his phone records now.

Known associates is a real long list. Dude only knew asswipes. Gonna take time

to run.

Kev, you said a 2014 Corolla?

Yes, that's right. I feel like I've seen that in our previous... Got it, okay.

Yeah, yeah.

Gustavo Sanz, he was...

A report on an abduction two months ago. It was sorted through about four

different detectives.

And he said to one of them... Here, here. Great Corolla looked to be about a

2010 make.

Okay. Oh.

Emergency contact is with Cousin Jimena Sanz. Say that name again. Jimena Sanz.

S -A -N -Z.

Got her.

She owns a tattoo parlor in Westtown. Lives right above it. Go.

Ximena -san, you hurt? We're closed for lunch right now.

Is that your lunch?

Don't yuck my yums. What do you want?

Officer Torres, Detective Burgess. We'd like to ask you a few questions about

the abduction involving your cousin, Gustavo -san.

Oh, two months later.

That is some stellar police work.

Also, you're bleeding.

You should take care of that. You live in the apartment upstairs, right? Is

Gustavo here?

You guys clearly don't speak sarcasm.

I meant, please leave.

Gustavo's not here.

Do you know the Mi Mundo supermarket?

Yeah, the one on Talman.

Why? The owner, Ivan Alvarez, got abducted by three men, thrown into a

van, and taken to an ATM.

Does that sound familiar?

I'm sorry.

I don't know anything that can help you guys. Is that true?

Yes, that's true.

Besides, it would be a little bit late, right?

We had problems.

We came to you guys for help.

Please don't help. We get more problems. Listen, listen.

Ivan is running out of time, all right? He's out there right now. He's alone.

He's in trouble.

So if you know anything, or you know where Gustavo is... I'm here.

What do you want to know?

Gustavo got jumped walking with car three male offender's mask.

They hit three different ATMs and then stashed Gustavo somewhere until the

withdrawal limit reset.

And after they dumped him, he called police. He got sorted by four different

detectives and was asked about gang affiliation.

They threw a hood over him, but there was a tear in the fabric. He thinks he

caught a glimpse of the stockyard gate.

My nerves have gone to the back of the yard.

Gustavo also said that it smelled like rotten eggs where they kept him. Rotten

eggs like what, a food processing plant? Yeah, but he didn't hear anything and

those places are super loud.

Hang on.

Scooby needs to make deliveries to a paper warehouse that shut down a year

Well, pulp smells like sulfur.

That's good enough for me.

All right, grab a couple of pack guys. Let's hit it.

What? Robin?

Bridget.

Donna.

21, Eddie.

Got a body.

Paper mill in the corner.

No vehicles out front, no clear indication of anyone else here.

their way. Security cameras. A few out back, Atwater's running.

Funders must have cut bait after Scooby didn't show with the cash. Killed

Alvarez and ran.

They'll be panicking. We can use it.

Lars, security camera from a business across the street got a hit on a white

fleeing a warehouse 20 minutes ago. You got a plate?

Yeah, I got a plate and I sent out a fast message to Anabolo.

Okay, notify CPIC. Have them run every traffic cam within a mile radius.

Let's get this place clean. I want to know everyone who ever came or went. 50

-21, David. Can you repeat that plate on your bolo?

That's 50 -21, David. Here we go.

Adam, David, 8494.

I wrote that van a mover two minutes ago. Got him blowing the red at West

and Ashland. Let's go.

We'll fan out your man. Sergeant, someone needs to notify Brenda.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Oh my God.

Oh God.

It's not your fault.

Okay?

It's not your fault.

Go ahead. You got here then?

Yeah, go ahead. We recovered the van. We got the driver in custody.

We're headed back in now.

I'm on my way.

Driver's name is Jason Machado.

Guy's an accountant with a serious gambling debt.

Seemed like he was serving up his whole clientele to his crew.

No gun on him, no gunshot residue.

We just traced some amounts of blood in the van and we're working it right now.

Is he talking?

No, not yet. We got Burgess on him.

He a shooter?

Hard to say.

All right.

That's the way you want to play it. That's how we're going to play it.

I'll get started on paperwork.

Let me run it.

Jason Manchal.

CPA, DePaul graduate. Currently residing in Elmwood Park.

Pero... So they send a Latino in to connect with me.

You betrayed your people, man. We got nothing to connect on.

Officer, feel free to leave.

I will, but first you're going to give me a name.

Third one on your crew.

Crew? It's all here, most of it. You know, you lost too much in the ponies.

You need a cash for your second mortgage for your kid.

Bet you tried to con your clients out of their money first, but it wasn't fast

enough, so you, Skuban, and a third got some guns and masks and

stole from Pilsen.

They don't trust police. They don't trust anybody, really.

And for good reason. They've been ignored, stepped on, taken advantage of.

And you knew that.

You knew it'd be easy.

But then, as far as I'm concerned, that's when you decided to kill Ivan

Not so easy anymore. I don't know anything about any killing. No, no, no.

It's all here.

He put two bullets in him while he was hooded in a closet.

That's messy.

That's first -degree murder.

Scuba is dead.

I shot him.

So he's dead. You won't give me a name.

Guess who eats the whole charge? You don't know what you're talking about.

You're never going to see your kid again.

You're going to die in federal prison because nobody's coming.

No lawyer is walking through that door to save you. No other police.

No family member to visit you.

No God to answer your prayers.

You'll get no protection at all.

Nobody's coming.

It's just me.

I wouldn't tell me nothing. I didn't kill him.

I didn't kill him.

It doesn't matter what their name is. Nobody was supposed to die. I wasn't

near them. I told them to stop.

Who?

I can't give you a name. Give me a name. Look, I'm talking to you. I didn't kill

him, all right?

Allard!

Okay?

Allard. Mike Allard. He killed Ivan.

Where is he now? I don't know.

I don't know.

You say he didn't want to run. I don't know.

Do better. Do better. He's got a short spot in Pilsen.

3 ,800.

3 ,800 Logan.

He said he wasn't coming home. So he'll be there.

Hey.

Don't I get a deal?

I never promised you a damn thing.

Look, get out of here now. Look!

I've got eyes on a large. He's arms headed for the north stairwell.

I'm on my way. Come on. Be ready.

Hey! Stop!

Give me a leg up.

Ready? Ready?

Drop it!

Don't move!

Drop it!

Oh, this must speak English.

Or don't.

You can just hold court right here.

I'll make it quick.

Police, drop it.

Hey, the Lord dropped the gun. Put your hands in the air and turn around.

The Lord, listen to me.

Drop the weapon. He will shoot you while you're playing. He will drop you dead

right where you stand if he don't drop that damn gun.

Drop it.

Wake the hell now. Drop it.

All right.

Palms to the sky.

Turn around.

Welcome back. Restore the sound of my voice.

Take your time.

All you need.

Yo, thanks for that up there, man.

I was reading it wrong, and I didn't think you would give up.

Yeah.

You good?

Looks like your suture's ripped out.

You gotta get that checked.

Look, I know this was a tough one.

I know last year was real tough.

But if you keep beating yourself up about what happened... I just gotta... I

just gotta find a way to deal with it all.

But I'll find it.

Oh yeah, you will.

Thank you.

Over here.

You stalking me, officer?

Kidding. I was drinking over there and saw you.

Thought I'd come and join the party.

Not really a party over here.

That was also StarCat.

You should take some lessons.

Do a lingo, maybe.

What did you do to it?

What?

I do ink and piercings. I know when people mess with their wounds.

Where are you?

You didn't get him back.

Eva.

Makes it feel better, doesn't it?

The pain.

I used to pray when things felt too much.

And it made me feel better, safe.

It's like something in me would settle and it wouldn't hurt as bad.

But that's not working now.

I don't feel him.

It's not the pain.

It's not the pain that helped. It's just... It's the release of it.

I know it's stupid. I know.

It's not going to take it away. It's just...

I just, um, I just want to feel better.

Yeah.
