Hey, Mom.

Do you want to bless the food?

No, no. You do it.

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

off of him. They pushed me, and then they threw him into the van, and they

off. Did you get a look at their face, their skin color, anything like that?

they had masks on.

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 us.

Ivan is a good man. You need to be out there finding him, not accusing him. I'm

trying to do my job. I need you to do better, please.

Okay.

What?

What is it?

I think Ivan just made a withdrawal from an agency. Wait, hold up. How much? Let

me see.

1 ,940. And 2 ,000 is your max withdrawal?

Yes, why?

Ma, take him home.

I'm gonna 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. Well, just head over there.

Secure the scene.

Check for cameras. Maybe grab the plate off that van.

I'll meet you over there. All right, uh, Sarge.

I know this guy, Ivan. I know his family. My mom shops at a supermarket. I

basketball with his son. I gotta 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 Alvin.

What? about the offenders no it looks like he's 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're in trouble.

Dante? Yes, what happened?

Pucha!

Dante!

I'll get your bandage up, and you're going to need some stitches.

No, I'm good.

You got anything on that bed?

No, we got nothing yet. They stayed out the way of the bank cams, and there's no

pods in there.

Is this market Ivan on?

His cams are under maintenance.

Monty's cams in the scene right now for witnesses, but I don't think anybody saw

anything good because the offenders were masked 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 is that knowledge avoided the camp at 1148 p .m. They make just under the

max withdrawal Hold anchor. Then right after midnight, they do it all over

again. They're double dipping, waiting for the daily cap to reset.

That sounds like a flash kidnap. You know, that happens all the time in Latin

America. 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 you. We got a trapping trace on Alvarez's bank card. As soon

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

They won't hit ATMs again. So let's hope they're not smart. Get eyes on every

branch of that bank. You work at Canvas?

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

.O. All right, let's go. Very good.

Now, like I said, I saw the van, but the matches only came out when little

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.

My boy didn't offer you?

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

just focusing on that? Ahora te importamos, ¿verdad?

Lou 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 here in 18?

Yeah, paseo millonario.

Millionaire tour.

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

youth bro like some of the go -kos?

Thanks for your cooperation.

You good? Yeah, just a scratch.

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

But you gotta 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 Mimundo supermarket.

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

Dude's done well for himself.

Probably why he was targeted.

Latino supermarkets, 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 Pilsen, all in the last three months, but the records are

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

translators or bad victims.

We're not enough police working in Pilsen. 12th District is under staff.

running up against a wave right there. Also that, they're sending over the

files. 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 plate.

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 went for a ransom.

Here's Brenda.

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

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

Against this stuff.

I'm for the mayor.

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

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

This will do for now.

Let me give you some painkillers at least. 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 upstairs.

All right.

Is my dad okay?

Yeah.

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

All right?

Brenda? It's Officer Torrel.

How much?

I don't think I can get that.

Brenda!

Was that them?

And 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. Hey, what's up?

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

Did you know that there have been more of these?

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

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

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.

Nothing, huh? No, she wouldn't say a word to me. Absolutely nothing.

I can take another run at her. It's not gonna work. Not now, anyway.

It needs to work. She's gonna get her husband killed. We can squeeze her.

Leverage her for obstruction of justice. No, that woman doesn't trust law

enforcement. And for good reason.

Look, we're gonna destroy that even further. Not if we get her husband back

safe.

It won't work. If we squeeze her, she's gonna dig in.

Burgess? Yeah, I'm here. Did Brenda give you anything?

No. So what else do we have?

Still nothing on the van.

Brenna's phone carrier gave us the number that called her. It's a prepaid

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.

She 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.

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

No. It's opposite direction, on Canal.

Okay, keep calling it out.

I'm passing 18.

Approaching 16.

I got a turn left on 14th Street.

I'm going to take this turn, but no other.

I'm westbound on 14th getting plenty now.

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.

Sarge, I'm 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 just curved.

I'm heading in the west end again, and I... I got families and kids all 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. Kim, Adam, you set up for a

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

Keep real low.

Copy you.

We'll have her walking.

Any sign of an offender?

No contact.

Hasn't used her phone. Nothing here.

Has Brenda dropped the bag?

Still has the bag 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 it. Just hold your position.

Give me the bag.

Give me the bag. Give me the bag.

Hey, hey, hey. What are you doing?

Gun, gun, gun.

Hey, she's got police!

She's dead.

Stay with her.

Okay, call it in. Hey, we split in search for other offenders. Move!

50 -21 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?

And Anthony, please.

Here we go. Have.

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 we've 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 a couple priors for

Okay, we got him on cams entering 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, it's a real long list. Dude only knew asswipes. It's going to

take time to run.

Kev, you've got a 2014 Corolla?

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

Yeah, yeah.

Gustavo Sanz, he was...

A report on an abduction two months ago, sorted through about four different

detectives. And he said to one of them, here, here, here. Great Corolla looked

to be about a 2010 make.

Okay. Oh.

Emergency contact is with Cousin Ximena Sanz. Say that name again? Ximena Sanz.

S -A -N -Z.

Got her.

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

Jimena -san?

You her? We're closed for lunch right now.

How about 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 from dollar 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?

Yeah, 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 offenders, masked. They hit

three different ATMs and then smashed Gustavo somewhere until the daily

withdrawal limit reset.

And after they dumped him, he called police.

He got sorted by four different detectives and was asked about gang

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 bag of the yards. 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.

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

Raw pulp smells like sulfur.

That's good enough for me.

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

Up. Up.

Bridget.

Donna.

21, Eddie.

Got a body, paper mill in the corner.

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

their way. Security cameras.

A few out back, Atwater's running.

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

Alvarez and ran.

They'll be panicking. We can use it.

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

van fleeing a warehouse 20 minutes ago. You got a plate? Yeah, I got a plate and

I sent out a flash message to Anabolo.

To notify CPIC, have them run every traffic cam within a mile radius.

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

David, can you repeat that plate on your bolo?

That's 5021 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 from there. Sarge, someone needs to

Brenda.

Yeah.

It was really the right thing.

I'm sorry.

Oh, my God.

Oh, God. It's not your fault.

Okay?

It's not your fault.

No. No.

Right with me.

Perez, you got ears 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 house of blood in the van and we're working it right now.

Is she talking?

No, not yet. We got burgess on him.

You hear a shooter?

Hard to say.

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

I'll get started on the paperwork.

Let me run it.

Jason Monchal.

CPA, DePaul graduate.

Currently residing in Elmwood Park.

Pero... Resiste en Pilsen. So they're sending a Latino in to connect with me.

You betrayed your people, man. We've 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.

Needed 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

It's 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.

Kuban's 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?

Huh? I can't give you a name. Give me a name. Look, I'm helping. Give me a name.

Look, I'm talking to you. I didn't kill him, all right? All right.

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 Tilson.

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.

Whoa, get out of here now. Whoa.

Yeah.

Got eyes on a large. He's armed. Headed for the north stairwell.

I'm on my way.

Torrin, be ready.

Hey! Stop!

Give me a leg up.

Ready? Jump, jump.

Drop it!

Don't move!

Drop it!

Oh, this one speaks English.

Or don't.

We 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 them 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.

I'm 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 sarcasm.

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 helps, 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.
