Maybe the three of us,
we could live together

kind of permanently.

Do you think my new friend Teddy

can come over to the new place?

- Teddy a teacher from school?
- No.

He's the man who waits
by the fence for me.

I wanna see the footage.

His name is Theo Morris.

What the hell is going on, Alana?

He's Makayla's uncle.

Oh, Jesus.

He's filed a petition for full custody.

Carolina, we do not
understand how it got this far.

I mean, the only time
this man has spoken

to Makayla is when he's creeping around

outside of her school.
I mean, this is... This is insane.

When Mr. Morris showed
up at Makayla's school,

it wasn't illegal.

He and his wife,
they have a lot of money,

big house, big yard, all that.

And Theo Morris is a blood relation.

We're talking about
his brother's daughter.

A brother who's serving life for murder.

- Adam.
- No. This is the qualifier?

- I mean...
- I understand.

Tariq Morris killed Makayla's family.

I understand,
but in the eyes of the system

there's only one client here.
It's not you.

Yeah, I know.

The judge's decision will rest

only on what's best for Makayla,

where she's safe,
the stability of the home,

the mental and physical health
of the caretakers.

And being a blood relative
carries a lot of weight.

The truth?

You could lose.

You could lose Makayla.

To avoid that,
you need to keep it together.

Do what I say. We fight,

but we do it calmly, methodically.

Okay?

We got this.

We do.

Got some time before Theo's testimony.

You wanna grab a bit to eat,
think about anything else

for a little while?

I've got some errands to run,

but why don't we just meet back
here after?

All right.

You sure you don't want company?

I'm good, thanks.

All right.

Gang going at it.

Caller reports snow shovel
stolen from his shed,

58th and 10th.

Units in the 9th,

manager of the drugstore
at Pulaski and Bruce

says a couple walked out

with a bag of stolen toiletries.

They need a report taken.

Come on.

Units in the 24th and citywide,

call of a home invasion,
possible homicide.

3021 Longwood.

5021 Eddie, hold me down responding.

Police! You guys hurt?

Mr. Page, está muerto.

Upstairs?

Anyone else in the house?

¿Hay alguien más en la casa?

No lo sé.

Okay.

Go, go, go, go, go!

5021 Eddie, I got two witnesses
sequestered behind my vehicle

for their safety.

Keep the cars rolling,
I'm going in, and I'm going dark.

All right, go ahead and bag it.

Scrub the house, print
the place floor to ceiling.

Yes, sir.

Body was cold, no blood splatter,

no signs of a struggle,
no defensive wounds.

I think they cut off his hand
after he was dead.

But look at this.

Look, there's...

little bits of flesh
mixed in with the blood.

I think they used his hand
as a paintbrush.

Guy's name was David Page, 45.

He did okay,
middle-manager-of-a-bank type,

decent living, little bit
of a loner, divorced, no kids.

Neighbor said he lived by himself,

- but was a nice enough guy.
- Who called it in?

The housecleaners called it in.

They have a key. They let themselves in.

It's a weekly thing.

Victim's usually at work
when they get here,

- but this time...
- Uh, the ME's prelim

says that Page was strangled
sometime last night.

Weapon was a rope.

Yo, Sarge, we got the victim's wallet.

We got his cell phone.

The money's still in the wallet.

He's got a few decent watches upstairs

that we can inventory,
but there's no signs

of forced entry, so it
obviously wasn't a robbery.

Someone sure wanted this guy dead

and to send a message
while they're at it.

All right, we got some idea
of what it isn't.

Let's figure out what it is.

Hey.

You took this job?

Yeah, sorry.

No, it's not about sorries.
I'm just trying to...

- You know?
- I know, I know.

Well, listen, it's time.
We gotta go to court.

Okay.

So you were a bit
of a miracle, Mr. Morris.

A miracle suggests divine intervention.

With respect to the man upstairs,

I worked for mine.

Um...

The men in my family...

I had six months, tops... behind
bars or in the ground.

- Except...
- I got out.

Got a scholarship after high school.

Engineering program at Hamburg.

- Germany?
- Yes.

Yes, built bridges and canals
all around Europe

for the past 20 years.
Um, met my wife there.

No children of your own?

We were not able.

You moved back to Chicago?

About six months ago,
a headhunter found me.

Brought me back home.

And that's when you learned
about Makayla?

First I heard the name, yeah.

Uh...

Look, I-I'm sure

that Ms. Burgess is a good person.

And Linda and I are grateful for you

for taking Makayla in.

What this girl's been through...

I just... I believe in my heart
that she should be with family.

Real... real family.

One last question, Mr. Morris.

When you first learned about
Makayla's story...

Where she's living now...

Did you ever think about it
in racial terms?

You mean, did I ever wonder
whether it was best

for a Black girl
to be raised by a white cop

in the city of Chicago?

Yes.

That.

No.

So how'd it go in there?

Uncle Theo knows how to work a room.

So where are we?

Toxicology report says there
was a high dose

of phenobarbital in the scotch
David Page was drinking.

Page would've been lethargic
by the time he was killed.

- Comatose?
- Yeah, we broke into the DMS

on Page's WhatsApp.

He's been a pill-popper for a long time.

He's talking about "rims and tires."

We're guessing that's Oxy and Percocet.

Guy was alone in the world
looking to numb out?

But then, Page changed
his tune about a week ago.

No more chill pills.
Page was looking to go up.

He starts referencing the "Big C"

in those DMs.

Coke. Bigger money.

Then on Sunday,
three days before Page was killed,

he's haggling about money with a dealer.

Dealer was not having it.

Dealer's burner triangulates

to a block claimed by the SL Boyz.

In the DMs, Page refers
to the dealer as "Sin."

The name popped in the alias database.

"Sin" is short for "Sinister."

His real name is Cesar Altuve.

This guy is a documented shot-caller.

He deals pills. He deals coke.

He's got a violent sheet.

Bring him in. Let me talk to him.

I said, "Call me a lawyer."

He's gonna tell you
the same thing I'm telling you.

We found an entire pharmacy
on you when we picked you up.

That's more than enough
to send you downstate.

That's even if we don't connect
you to David Page's murder.

Take a look at these.

Friend of mine from the DEA
loaned them to me.

It's El Salvador.

Soldados Locos, your ancestral gang.

Turns out that's what they do
to guys who don't pay.

I didn't kill him.

You were beefin' over money.

No.

No?

He just got in deeper than usual.

We were working it out, man.

That's all.

Deeper how?

- His thing's popping $5 pills.
- Hmm.

Entertaining a new girl,
that's a whole new price point.

What new girl?

Some girl.

She wanted to party.

Powder.

Sarge?

What?

We got another one.

So a meter man found that.

Crime lab is rolling in.

Anyone been inside?

No, sir. Waiting on you.

Christ.

All right, go.

Oh, my God.

I'll go check upstairs.

This one got messy.

Look at his leg.

Basement's clear.

There's another half-finished cocktail

on the nightstand up there.

Okay, so...

he realizes he's been drugged.

Makes a run for it. Legs give out.

He falls down the stairs.

Killer catches up with him here.

Yeah, well, this does not
look like gang violence.

We got a serial killer.

Second victim's Gus Thompson, 48.

ME said he'd been dead for a week.

Yeah, same deal as
our first victim, David Page.

Phenobarbital in his drink.

Strangled, then his hand was cut off.

Thompson's a middle-manager,
working stiff, lonely,

no family... same there too.

But no sign our victims know each other.

Two men from two different
sides of the city.

We got another one.

Joel McCall, 55, killed six weeks ago.

Drugged, strangled, his hand cut off.

Case didn't pop before?

It's not ours.
Belongs to Des Plaines PD.

I had to find it on ViCAP.

And just like the others,
no defensive wounds,

nothing disturbed in the home.

And this one, his blood was
used to write "Leave us."

- Us?
- Yeah, that part's weird,

among other things.

I arranged for you guys
to head over there.

They're copying case files.

They even offered a couple
of their homicide cops

if you're interested.

Look at me making friends.

Thanks, Trudy.

Now listen, these men were
targeted for a reason.

These messages, they mean something.

We find the why, we'll find the who.

Dig in.

I'm gonna head up
to Des Plaines right now.

Yeah, I'm gonna come with you.

- No, no, no.
- Gabby can stay late.

- She can stay late.
- I'll take it alone.

Chances are I'll get
all the way up there

and I don't find out anything anyway.

You go be with Mack.

You guys need each other.

- Hello?
- Hey.

- Just cleaning up.
- No, no, no.

Gabby, please, I'll do that.

Hello.

What'd you have for dinner?

We ordered chicken parm.

- Saved some for you.
- Thank you.

And I had six peas and three carrots.

Six peas and three carrots.

- But who's counting, right?
- Got a bit of a project going.

Okay.

- Me and Jasmine...
- Jasmine and I.

That's what I said.

Me and Jasmine are
in a school skit tomorrow.

Our hair's gonna be the exact same.

Picked up the beads, but...

All right, um...

Can you hand me a bead?

Sure.

Okay.

Oop.

Okay, well, it's something
like this, right?

Um, I don't think so.

Okay, I'll try again.

Well, it's only hair.

What are we gonna do?

We're gonna call your Uncle Kevin.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Good news is, you can lord
this over me forever.

And you know I will.

What's up, Queen?

Yeah, yeah, come on in.

You remember my Auntie Jane?

Hey, Jane.

Do you remember, Makayla?

We met Jane at Jordan's birthday party.

Yeah, I remember.

Let me see my VIP client.

Black hair is its own thing.

Its own beautiful thing.

Come on, baby. We got this.

Come on.

Oh, Jane, beads.

Thank you.

It's actually not that bad.

Shut up.

I mean, I'll hand it to him.

Makayla's uncle found a way
to make this custody case

about race while denying
he was making it about race.

Okay, Theo came to fight, huh?

- Oh, yeah.
- Well, what'd the judge say?

She smiled. She got it.

Is this okay?

Black kid, white cop, this city.

I mean, I'm not gonna act like

this is some colorblind fairy tale.

But what you and Kev have got
is solid as hell.

Yeah, I know, there's truth there.
I just...

It hurt to hear in court.

But, Burgess, you are good for her.

You know that.

I do.

But to have to prove it...

Ta-da!

Oh, my, turn around!

Turn around. Let me see the whole thing.

Look at that.

Thank you.

You look beautiful.

Well, we got lucky.
Got a hit in Des Plaines.

Traffic cams got a good view
of the victim's home.

Rubber-bullet squad up there

was told the traffic cam
was down, so they missed it.

Now this right here, it's 4:12 p.m.

That's two hours before
Joel McCall was found dead.

This woman leaves the
victim's house, walking fast.

She gets into a Volkswagen Scirocco.

And right here you get
a decent view of the driver.

- Another female.
- So you're thinking

that's the woman Altuve mentioned?

The one David Page was seeing?

We haven't found a trace of her yet,

but maybe that's how they lured him in.

So a VW pulls out.

We got the plates.

Comes back to a Daniel Williams.

Now here's where it gets good.
Daniel doesn't have a sheet,

but he's got a sister.

Jackie Williams. She's 24.

That's a dead match for our driver.

LKA on Cottage Grove.

Nice work.

Hit it.

I got the back.

Chicago PD!

Move.

It's clear.

Looks like someone's home.

Dan Williams?

- Police, let me see your hands.
- Whoa!

Keep your hands where I can see them.

Does this mean...

You found her?

- Found who?
- Jackie, my sister.

Is she with him?

Is she?

We don't know
who you're talking about, Dan.

With who?

Micah.

With him, with the cult.

Isn't that why you're here?

- So what do you mean, "cult"?
- I don't know

if that's the right word.

Can you just tell me, is Jackie okay?

- Is she all right?
- We don't know, Dan.

Can you tell us what happened to her?

Look, she's just been
having a hard time.

I mean, she always has.

But last couple years, she lost her job.

We don't have any other family,
any money.

She was just desperate.

And that's when she met Micah?

Yeah.

He calmed her down.

Then she started
talking about him weird.

Like he wasn't a friend, boyfriend.

Okay.

What was he?

Like a teacher.

Guy lives with other women.

Asked Jackie to move in and then...

I told her this guy's no good,
but she couldn't hear it.

I think she started using again.

Cut me out.

And then she was gone.

Recognize this woman?

No.

What about her?

Yeah, that's Jackie.

And my old car. What...

Why?

What'd they do?

This is from Jackie Williams'
social media.

It was deleted,
but we were able to recover it.

Okay, so that's Jackie.

That is the woman who exited
the house in Des Plaines.

All these women,
they look undernourished,

off the streets, possible drug use.

And that is Micah Thurman, 44 years old.

We are going to build a life together.

You will be loved, safe,
but this won't come free.

You must choose this family.

You must choose me.

Now this is going to require discipline.

Accountability.

But you're home.

Micah Thurman, he's a grifter.

A conman.
He's been on the run for years.

Got numerous civil and criminal charges,

two-bit fraud, check-bouncing.

He's got a domestic from a decade ago.

- Mm.
- And these women are trying

to make a family with him?

I mean, he knows exactly what they need

to replace fear with hope.

It'll take discipline,
but you have to do what I say.

What if they would do anything

that he said to be in his family?

What if they would kill for him?

Mm, so where's Micah now?

We don't know. He's off the grid.

Creditors haven't been able
to find him in years.

He doesn't have a cell phone.
No utilities in his name.

Only connection
we actually have is Jackie.

And we threw a BOLO
out there on her Scirocco,

but we ain't got a hit yet.

We do have one more thread on her.

It's not much, but she swipes
her Link card once a week

at a market off Hamlin.

Okay, good. That's a string to pull.

Do it.

Nah, maybe this is a bust.

Just gotta ride it out.

There.

I can't make out the plate though.

Guys, we got a VW north side of the lot.

Female subject exiting the vehicle.

Any signs of Micah or the other women?

Negative, she's alone.

That's her.

It's a positive on Jackie Williams.

- Let's move.
- All right.

We're gonna cover the back.

Jackie? Jackie Williams?

Chicago police,
we just wanna talk to you.

Jackie, hey.

- Hey.
- Jackie?

Stop running.

No!

Take it easy.

- Jackie.
- No!

- Take a breath.
- No, no!

Please get off! No!

Okay, Jackie, I'm gonna uncuff you now.

And I need you to not do
what you did at the market.

You understand?

All right.

Is this you in this Volkswagen?

That's your brother's car.
We talked to him.

Your brother Dan, do you remember him?

What about this photo?

Who's this person?
Who got into the car with you?

All right.

Why this house?

Did you know the man who lived there?

Why him?

Hey, where'd you go
when you left Des Plaines?

Did you go to Micah?

Yeah? Where is Micah?

He's with me.

Right now.

- Oh.
- Not actually here.

I'm not crazy. I don't see ghosts.

Good.

We were on the edge
of a cliff when he found us.

Saved us. Made us family.

What'd he save you from?

The wobblies.

Wobblies?

That's what we call it.

Fear.

But we're safe now.

Part of something bigger than ourselves.

Might not look like a family to you,

but it feels like one to us.

You got the wobblies too?

No, we're not gonna talk
about me, Jackie.

I can see it.

You're scared.

Micah can help you.

He can take it away.

Three men were murdered, Jackie.

And you were there
for at least one of them.

Yeah.

Do you get what's happening?

Do you understand the stakes?

If we don't get her talking,
we're dead in the water.

I mean, we got nothing on Micah,

no leads on that other female offender.

And nothing connecting any of them

to any of our victims either.

I can get her to break.

I can feel it.

Deep down, this girl knows
she's hanging on to something

that isn't really there. It's not real.

Just need to find the right way
to tear it down.

Go ahead, put her on ice for the night.

Just dig back in tomorrow.

Okay.

This is Kim.

Hey.

There you are. What's going on?

What happened?

The judge, she's allowing Theo's lawyers

to access my medical records.

From when you got hurt?

And to depose my doctors,
and to access my personnel file...

Well, what does that mean?

That's their case. It's their argument.

I can't possibly offer Makayla
a stable home

because I almost died.

And I was offered a desk job
and I came back to this.

- I chose this.
- Kim.

Oh, my God,
what if they're right though?

What if I'm not good for Makayla?

No, no. You stop that now.

Stop it.

But they're trying to prove
how close I came to dying

in order to...

To take away the one thing
that kept me alive.

- They cannot do that.
- They can and they are.

We're gonna lose her, Adam.

Just... we're gonna lose her.

Micah lied to you.

- He doesn't lie.
- Okay.

That's David Page.

Before you came on the scene,
Micah bought a car.

He couldn't keep up with the payments,
and he fought the bank

until he got a mid-level manager

who told him his hands were tied.

He had to repo the car.

That manager was... do you see
that signature right there?

David Page.

The others were the same.
There's Gus Thompson.

He owned a couple of lending stores.

He gave Micah a crappy loan
at a crappy rate.

Micah couldn't pay it off.
It drove him deeper into debt.

- That's not true.
- It is.

Then there is Joel McCall.

He turned down Micah's application

for a second mortgage,
and Micah lost his house.

This was years ago and you
were still in high school.

So all these guys,

they were just doing their job.

Regular men with friends,
family, people who loved them.

No.

- Yes.
- Micah told us.

What'd he tell you?

They were after our family.

No.

They didn't even know you existed.

They just... they made Micah mad
a long time ago.

That's it. That's it, Jackie.

That's all this ever was.

No.

No.

No...

You were right about me.
I've been scared.

I get why you'd reach out
for something like this.

But the thing is,
is that Micah used you.

- No.
- Yeah.

But you can fight him.

You can help me.
You could help me make this right.

I never hurt anybody.

Okay.

And I never went inside anywhere.

That's good.

I believe you.

That means we can work together.

And if you help me,
I'll do everything I can

to make sure you go free
at the end of this.

You can go home, Jackie.

Home to your real family.

Our offender's name
is Jenny Valentine, 27.

ID'd by Jackie.

Jenny, she's been in and out
of jail for years.

Possession, small-time sales of meth.

And that's actually Jenny
in the Des Plaines video

getting into the Volkswagen.

According to Jackie,

Jenny murdered all three of our victims.

Okay, but did Jackie say
if Micah ordered the kills?

She doesn't know. Not exactly.

How's that work?

Micah fed them lies.

Told them their family was in danger,

that these men hated them.

She just never specifically heard Micah

tell Jenny to kill anyone.

Jackie also said she never
saw blood on Jenny.

She was never explicitly told
why she was driving Jenny

to these locations.

That's plenty for a warrant on Jenny

but real shaky on Micah.

I know.

Yeah, I want Micah.

All right, where did they live?

Abandoned property in Humboldt Park.

Well, we wire Jackie.
Send her back to the family.

Get Micah talking. Can she deliver?

Is she stable enough?

I don't know.

But I'd try.

All right.

There we go.

Jackie.

Positive on Micah Thurman.

We were worried.

Just ran into a couple of friends

from my old life.

They had just scored and, um,
asked if I wanted to party.

I was weak.

It was a mistake.

Attagirl.

I don't need them anymore.

All I need is us.

I missed you.

Jenny was worried sick.

All right, that's the first
mention of Valentine.

- Stay on your toes.
- Jenny thought...

- Copy.
- That you...

panicked because of
the nights you went driving.

Everything we did made us safer.

We're close.

Are you ready for more, Jackie?

What do you mean?

What do you want me to do next?

Oh, my...

What happened to you?

You're like a little deer.

So frightened.

Let me feel your heart beat.

Yes.

Something's happened.

I'm fine.

Is the family in danger?

Tell me what you've done, Jackie.

I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.

No.

Oh, Jackie.

We're dark.

Let's move in. Move!

We're headed to the south.

Breach wherever you can,
but move in silent.

We're entering north side.

Hey, stop!

Stop, don't make me shoot you, okay?

I don't wanna shoot.

There you go. We know everything, okay?

Calm down. We know everything!

He ain't worth it.

Jackie?

Is Micah in here?

Jackie.

Can you respond to me?

Cover me.

Jackie?

It's me. Hey, look at me.

You're safe. You're good.

Where's Micah?

Kim... hey, hey!

Chicago PD!

It's over, Micah!

The girls, they know who you really are.

It's over. Your family, it's over!

Last chance, Micah!

I'm coming for ya!

Kim, are you all right?

I'm okay!

Your Honor, we're here today

because of fundamental questions

about Ms. Burgess' fitness as a mother.

Makayla has seen you
with a gun in your hand.

Suffers from night terrors.

There seems to be some confusion

about the role that Mr. Ruzek
plays in her life,

about the role
that he plays in your life.

And can you guarantee
that after being shot

at close range, nearly bleeding out,

flatlining in the hospital,

that there'll be no lasting
physical complications?

That's my hope.

How about mental complications?

Is it your opinion that after
being that close to death,

there are no residual effects?

I don't know.

The CPD has given you ample opportunity

to take desk work after this incident.

You overruled your own doctors.

Insisted on going back to Intelligence.

When was the last time someone
fired a weapon at you?

About four hours ago.

Makayla's favorite snack...

is tortilla chips dipped
in whipped cream.

It's... well, it's disgusting.

But she'll trade me for it
for eating her veggies, so,

you know, you do what you do.

She collects these pieces of sea glass.

We go up to Loyola Beach
on Sunday mornings,

if I'm not working.

And she's obsessed with them.

My pockets are full of them.

Sometimes I think they're multiplying.

Your Honor.

Makayla's discovered
that we have a freckle

inside of the same toe on the same foot.

And she's decided
that we can communicate

as a result, telepathically.

So when she's at school,
like in the middle of the day,

she sends me happy thoughts.

And when I come home,
I'm supposed to know

what those happy thoughts were,
which is hard.

You were right
about pretty much everything.

I don't have a ton of money.

I don't have a ton of time, a big house.

Yes, Adam Ruzek, my ex-fiancé,
is moving in with us.

I don't know how to explain
that except that we're family.

And, yes, I almost died
and went back to a job

when I didn't have to,
but it was what I needed then.

And it's what I want now.

I'm good at my job.

I help people, and I'm proud
that my kid sees me doing that.

I am a mess, and I make mistakes.

Makayla, that's something that
I've done pretty damn right.

Theo, I... I get
what you're trying to do.

Truly, truly, I do.

But what Makayla and I have,

you can't just snap
your fingers and make that up.

It's real.

She's my family. And I'm hers.

- We'll make the murders?
- Yeah, all three.

There was tons of evidence
in the warehouse...

More video, social media.

Any of it make sense with the hands?

Yeah, part of Micah's message

was that these men were trying
to strike at the family,

tear them down.

So the women had to take
their hands, their fists,

as a preemptive strike.

And Jackie Williams?

Yeah, I got her a deal with the ASA.

She'll be back home with her brother.

That's good work.

Hmm.

Yeah.

For what it's worth...

I'd bet on you every time.

This is Kim.

Yeah, I can talk.

Adam!

We won!

Are you kidding me?

Tell me what the judge said.

I guess, bottom line is

who the child's most bonded with,

so... so she's ours.

You are my hero right now.

Oh, my God!

Oh.

All right, let's go see her.

- Let's go see our kid.
- All right.

Champagne and pizza.

- It's very upstairs, downstairs.
- You'd think.

It's actually an expensive pizza

and a very cheap bottle of champagne.

- Gabby?
- Jesus.

Find Mack... find Makayla.

Gabby, Gabby, it's Adam.

Gabby, hey!

Hey, what happened? Where's Makayla?

Mak...

Makayla?
