Original subtitles

LeSean, you're not my CI anymore.

Don't tell nobody you heard it from me. Just look in the damn water.

We found Kendra Simmons' remains.

Go to the 11th to see what you can find.

Rob Parker, 32 years old, known as B-Rock.

Narcotics has been working B-Rock's tip for months.

Runs a corner near the women's shelter.

Blood came back as Kendra's and we got multiple hits of B-Rock coming and

going. Put your hands up, Rob!

B-Rod's corner's been up and running like a factory since late last night.

It's too damn fast.

Unless somebody knew it was coming.

Good shot.

So you're going to jump out your trick bag and ease on into hip bag, but you

ain't just exactly sure what's hip.

You started to let your hair grow, spin big butts to prop your wardrobe, but

somehow you know there's much more to the trip.

What is hip? Tell me, tell me, if you think you know.

What is hip? If you're really hip, the passing of years will show you in a hip

trip.

Maybe he was in here six damn hours That's the personal best funny. Am I

hearing right? You held LT six extra hours on the last minute call held him

Wow, he got to stay.

Oh Got to that's right. He got to stay six hours of OT with my sweet ass For

shootings last night three armed robberies one sexual assault We also had

a great Honda Accord popped on our camps twice. The Honda was stolen from 85th

two nights ago Now it's in our district Hot.

No plates.

Keep eyes out.

Everyone, stay safe.

Green, you're with Fitzpatrick, 11-22.

Dixon, keep on with Marco, 11-34.

Egan and Bright, 11-15. Jones and Rodriguez, 11-23.

Chavez and Bird, 11-11. And Penny, you hang back with me.

Private dressed out.

Hello.

Yes.

I think I've been real patient.

Put up with a lot of headaches, wouldn't you say?

But not tonight.

Tonight, my daughter has a dance recital at 1900. Amy's doing ballet now? Not

Amy, Jessa.

You got Jessa into ballet?

LT, that's fire. The stage is about to be lit. Kenny, I swear to God.

Sorry, sorry.

I get it, sir. I am leaving at 1900 hours.

You said the show starts at 1900.

1900.

Okay, 1900.

Do not call a last minute arrest. Do not be a suck magnet today.

You hear me?

And you and Connolly have a nice, easy shift.

I'm telling you, your honest-to-God problem, Penny, is you're good police,

but you don't know how to play the game.

Okay. You don't know how to dance the dance, move only when you got to. Okay.

And I know you ain't actually listening, you ass.

You're supposed to respect, senor.

My elders.

Kid, I make 50 look like 20.

Hey, 1 o'clock.

Hey, hey, little lady.

What's going on here? You okay?

What you even doing out here? You know where you at?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got you.

Hey. What are you doing out here?

Look at that. A whole tour.

See, I told you.

All you needed in life was an elder.

You my rabbit's foot, Connelly.

Want me to tell the boys? You're the new good luck charm.

All you want is a little rub?

You gotta ruin every damn thing. Oh, I actually love it. It's good.

Slow up.

Four o'clock.

Back it up.

Grey Honda Accord.

Matches the description of LT Stoll.

I called him for the next shift. Hey, Vinny, our tour's over. Call it in.

We're just going to do a walk-by.

Are you kidding me? Hey!

1121 Squad, I got eyes on a possible stolen great Honda Accord 4300 West

Alley at 24th.

I'm approaching now on foot.

Vehicle has no plates. I got one hooded male entered in the vehicle.

1121 Squad, make that three mails. Three unmasked and one is armed. I repeat,

three unmasked and one is armed. They're heading into the rear of a multi-unit

apartment building, 4350 West 24th.

1121 I got shots for help inside 43 50 West 24th send me back up now

One down. Stay with them.

11-21.

Shots fired by offenders and police.

I got three offenders fleeing out of 43-50 West 24th.

24th Inspector Staff House, Chicago Police.

Stop!

Offenders are back in that stolen Honda.

Now westbound on 25th at a high rate of speed.

I got him.

Meet the Amber all back.

Okay, hang in there.

You're gonna be just fine, okay?

Your name's Bernie, right? There we go.

I know your name's Bernie.

You hit that Hezzy over in Central Court.

You got hops.

I know you.

You know me.

And I got you, Bernie.

I know you can hear me.

All right?

You keep on holding on and trust that I got you.

I got an ambo coming.

I got everyone coming on their way.

People are coming just to see you.

So you just keep on holding on and trust that I got you.

Just trust that I got you.

You caught the thief?

Yes, sir.

You ran it over the zone. It was a stash house rip?

Yes. Doping guns.

This building is mainly occupied by the Four Corner Boys.

Most of the street flies their colors.

Then walk us through.

So, I clocked the Honda first.

Vehicle was recently stolen.

Have been spotted in our district over the last 12 hours.

We got a bolo out on us, boss.

Huh.

This man with security for the Stash House?

His name's Bernie.

He's only 17, hardly in the game. Lives up on 28th.

Got his ID by running him?

No.

I just know who he is.

This is my beat.

So what else do you know about him?

That he ain't deep in.

Kid took night classes, washed out for his family.

Probably needed a quick buck.

Took this gig thinking it would be easy.

He's a good kid.

Was. How much weight did the offenders get?

At least three poles and three bricks.

They got long guns?

AKs.

Where's their vehicle parked?

Honda was parked right here.

Not much to see anymore.

Cams usually get destroyed around here?

Yes. Officer.

Happen to recognize this package here?

This sandwich looking fresh.

Yeah.

There's a corner store that uses those about six blocks over.

All right. You take me? Yeah. Let's go.

Penny. Wear a slow shoe.

Brother Jackie, what's up?

What's with this shirt?

No, no, I like it. I like it. It makes your eyes pop. It's a nice color on you.

It brings out your skin tones and your eyes. You look beautiful.

I've been telling you you got beautiful eyes, Jackie.

Beautiful.

Why the hell are you here?

You sell sandwiches to three young men today would have been a few hours ago.

I don't know. You don't know?

Really, Jackie?

You actually sold something and you're saying you don't know?

I don't know.

He's asking you about pastrami.

That ain't what he really asking. That is.

What, you gonna go and sign for meat and cheese, Jackie?

I don't know.

You're not.

So answer the question.

Maybe I sold a couple.

Okay. All right. Okay.

Then give us your footage.

Jackie, you already answered the question.

It's still meat and cheese.

Give us the footage.

Nice. I don't see no cameras, though.

Paranoid ass put the camera in the lizard.

Huh.

You were there with him. That Bernie, right? Tried to save him.

Mm-hmm.

I've been there, man.

The headshot is a tough save no matter what you do.

You know what I mean?

Jackie, some time today. Come on.

Got three on the footage.

All right.

Thank you, Jackie.

Officer Donovan believes these are a match for our offenders.

They are.

Stats and fuels are the same. You know these kids, too.

No, don't recognize them, but my bet, though, they're low-level slingers for

the Four Corner Boys.

Thought they knew when the house would be fat.

Thought a quick buck was better than an eight-hour shift on the tip.

They had him running through the face of the road. Give me some IDs.

Come on.

Yo, officer.

Yeah, man, it's Ruzik.

Right. Why is intelligence taking a west side dope? Our boss is interested in the

drug game in 11.

Hey, thanks for your help.

Come on, let's go do the favor.

Hey, don't you think it's strange that intelligence has taken us?

I mean, a random link on the west side?

We could ID these offenders way faster. What the hell is it with you?

Honestly? Is this some kind of damn syndrome?

You just have to step in the crap every possible minute? No. Yes, yes you do.

You gotta move on every little thing that pops.

You're working here six years now.

And what?

What, you still haven't noticed that you're not the only police on the

street? This little thing of yours is gonna get you thrown down to a crap

district writing parking tickets. Or you know what? It's gonna get you shot. No,

it's not. It's the opposite.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, the opposite.

You know what? I'm not letting you drag me down with you.

Intelligence is on this case now. So you and me, not doing jack, but writing the

paper and going the hell home.

You really think someone from this crew is a person who played you?

They're young, like, real young. There's no way they're good for LaShawn's hit.

Either way, we are working this to the end. Those kids walked off with three AK

-47s. I want them off the street.

Boss.

That beat cop Donovan, he was right.

That whole stretch of residential is owned by the Four Corner Boys.

More specifically, a known shot caller named Alfred Tony goes by Tony.

No connects so far to B-Rock, LeSean, or anything else that happened on that

block. We did get a hit-off facial rep from the corner store footage.

Ops says Trez Brown, 17.

Narcoticism index is working with tone. There's no LK for him or his mom.

That kid is low-level. This is looking like exactly what it appears to be. An

inside job, kids repping off their boss.

Any indication their boss knows they repped him? Not yet, but, I mean, it's

only a matter of time. All right, so beat him to it. Find him.

I have my paper set. How much more you got?

Uh, just a little bit of input.

We straight?

Connie, it's gonna take a whole lot more than your thick-ass rod of me to piss me

off.

Do the paper.

And go home, Benny.

Yeah, of course.

I'm right behind you, man.

Miss Brown, I'm asking it. I already told you. I don't know where my son is.

I find that hard to believe.

Why? You got a teenager?

They got laid. Man, you understand, Tress. He's in real trouble.

So you say. And yet you don't seem to understand.

Do you need me to explain it to you again? I will. I don't know where he is.

The boy can't keep still.

17. An adult.

Oh, no, not by law. Legally, your son, still your responsibility.

And legally, you can still eat the charges for not knowing where he lays

his head.

Where's he crashing?

I said I don't know where that idiot's crashing.

I don't hang with Trez no more. He only cares about Tony Cash. I don't mess with

none of that.

That's real good, man.

I'm real proud of you for that.

Shut the hell up.

But you know that doesn't mean that your boy Hakeem isn't rolling with Trez.

And that doesn't mean that sometimes you're not rolling with Hakeem when he's

rolling with Trez.

So that doesn't really mean you don't know where Trez is crashing, Cam.

Supposed to make some kind of sense to me.

She moved.

Yeah.

Hey.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

If anyone ever finds out, I told you. Cam, what do I look like to you?

Tres likes this old arcade on Augusta. Crash in the basement.

Mama says Tres sleeps here with a couple friends most nights. Back room's empty.

Kids use it like a honeycomb. She didn't ID any of the friends, but most likely

they're our crew.

It's the same P.O. from yesterday.

Okay, go loop him in before he screws us.

up the east stairwell. Keep eyes.

Copy.

Police! Stop!

Kim,

boss, you alright?

We're good.

Kim? We no longer have eyes. Searching now.

That was a player!

Sweep the streets and take your friends and neighbors out too?

That was the damn plan!

Two offenders are still in the wind. Kim's with our

shooter. His name's Dre. He's not talking.

While somehow simultaneously not shutting the hell up. Gen Z.

Think he's Gen Alpha.

Oh, well.

6'7". This

the dope and guns they ripped?

Yes. Type 1, first edition.

All three young men down here were a match for the offenders.

Trans in the other two?

5'8", 5'11". Gray hoodie, black jeans over bread-toed Jordans. Black hoodie,

blue jeans over black and white new school vans. Those kind of look fugazi,

though. Not gonna lie.

None of them bother changing.

I want a phone.

And a wallet.

School ID.

Government name's Andre Jamison.

Guessing this is backpack, this is burner.

All right, give me the phone.

Go with me.

that stolen Honda Accord about a block out. No sign of the offenders.

We're tolling it in now.

You got any cams?

CPIC's monitoring.

We got an investigative load up, too.

Anything? Nothing we can use.

Kid's playing tough. Says he has no idea where his friends would run.

Okay. Come on.

If I were you, I'd move.

Give me the code.

Man, we're a lady cop. She had enough.

You're going to give me the code.

No, I ain't. And I already said I don't know where Tres and Will are at, so

don't even ask.

Man, they're going to be in Florida by the time y'all catch up.

Florida. Is that right?

They're shooting big, slingshotting towards those stars, huh, Dre?

So we both know they ain't gonna make it, man.

They runnin' with what, 40 bucks in their pocket?

Every police on this side of Cermak is looking for them. They won't make it.

They don't make it. They won't. And if your Mensa Man buddies are smart, if

they don't try and scrap with the police, they'll join you inside.

Yeah, you already be there.

You goin' in for life, brother. You just swept the streets with an AK-47 that was

stolen.

So now we got all three of you in Stateville. What happens next, Dre?

I'll tell you.

You're on the block with the same brothers you stole from.

Your life turns to hell day in and day out. They will make you pay for what you

took from them.

Until one of you realize you can't take it anymore.

And you start to remember, police tried to help me.

Offered me protection.

So now you call me. And guess what I say, Dre?

Come on, guess.

It was a one-time offer.

You're 16, man.

You have a long life ahead of you. Take what I'm giving.

Unlock the phone.

I can say you cooperated. I can help.

Code 1228.

Which one you get it from me?

Anything on it?

Code 1228. Other offender's name is Will. Get back to the district. Get me a

positive ID. Copy.

How did you end up here exactly?

What shift are you on right now?

No shift.

The victim, Bernie?

You know him well?

No, sir. Look, like I said, I just knew him from around the way.

Okay.

I just don't like letting things go.

But I can stay on this.

This is my beat.

I know it well.

I can help.

How long you been up?

I don't know.

Okay, then go home.

Tell me what we got.

We confirmed all three offenders now off of Dre's phone. The third offender is

Willis Peterson, 16.

Got hundreds of texts between Will, Dre, and Trez in the last six hours. A lot of

these texts are about them just running their mouths about the Rift, but there's

one from Will to Dre that says, meet up at our spot.

The cash gotta be at the bitches. We can still hit it. The phones are off now?

Yeah, but we got a trap in Tres set up.

When did Dre get that text?

About 22 minutes before we got to the arcade.

Okay, so the arcade is their spot, the cash.

That's got to be Tone's cash. So what, there's an alert?

Stash house? They wanted the rip again.

Yeah, that makes sense, but who's this girl?

Run all of Tone's known female associates. Anyone he trusts enough to

hold his cash, then they still might try to hit it. Hey, we got a pod hit.

Two offenders matching the descriptors for Willis and Trez were just caught

jacking a silver Dodge minivan two miles from the arcade.

CPIC's tracking it on pods right now.

I need a couple of tack cars assigned to that address front and back.

We'll advise en route.

1121 Squad, can I get a mobile with 5021?

Jet 4, 1121.

5021, do you have your ears on?

Yeah, go for 5021.

This is 1121, Officer Donovan Watts.

I'm close to 157th, currently en route, and I can beat you there. Can I assist?

Six minutes, sir.

All right, you will be this there. That address belongs to Tone's sister. We

believe Tone is stashing his cash there. The traffic pods put Trez and Will three

blocks from that address in a stolen Silver Dodge minivan. We believe they're

headed that way to rip the house.

Just get eyes and hold.

10-4.

I'm here.

Long eye.

All looks quiet. No movement. No sign of the offenders.

Copy. Hold tight.

Will do.

I got eyes on that stolen minivan. Pulling up to confirm.

It is not occupied but it is parked behind the house.

I think there's a kid in this house.

I respect your order, but I believe there's a child in danger. My eye, my

call. I'll live with it.

I'm telling you. Listen to me. I'm telling you. Tell him he's here about an

hour ago.

He took his cash. Yeah.

No, stop.

Stop. No.

Stop. Give me my son. I'm done playing. Okay, no.

Stop.

Stop. Mommy.

Grab the key.

What are you doing?

Where's the money at? I don't know. I know you're lying.

Give me my son.

Police. Drop the guns and put your hands up.

I said put the guns down now.

Shut the hell up. I said that.

Back the hell up! Back up! Back the hell up! Showdown!

Advise responding officers to hold. We've got the scene.

Covert positions around the house.

Nobody moves till we get eyes inside.

Officer Watts, you copy?

Watts, do you copy?

Look at me. What do you want?

Just tell me what you want. I can get it for you. I will help. I want that money.

You tell her to get me that money. All right. All right. We can do that. Hey, I

can get that cash for you. Whether it's here or not, I can get it for you.

Nobody wants a kid to get hurt.

So now we're going to negotiate.

Feel me?

You are going to let that kid go.

I help.

No. Nobody walking up out of here for us.

With that cash? Hey, you're not gonna get that cash if you don't give me

something. She's lying!

Okay, she knows where it is.

Just give us the money! Okay, just give us the money.

Hey, yo!

Stop!

You want to shoot somebody, shoot me, okay?

I'm putting my gun down.

You want to shoot somebody, you shoot me.

Please, please, please, no.

Hey, we're here. Hey, look at me. Look at me.

Okay?

I can help.

Please, please.

No gun in my hands. No gun in my hands. Hey, look at me.

You're Tres, right?

Man, how you know it's me? You sit up. Don't say anything. Look, I don't care

about the money. You can have the money. I can get you the money. I just want to

make sure that these people are safe.

I don't want nobody getting hurt, including you.

See?

You got the leverage. You're in charge.

So I'm going to get you the money.

But there's police outside right now.

Just let us go! Hey, shut up!

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! If I radio them, they won't crash.

They, like me, they don't want nobody getting hurt.

You got the leverage.

So let me call them, tell them not to breach, and we tell them what you want.

Right? Easy.

Feel me?

1121 Mobile with 5021.

I've got two civilians, including a tender age, here in the living room.

We're all good.

I don't want anyone breaching.

I don't want anyone taking a shot.

Repeat. Do not... Breach copy you 1121 living room find a shot

Okay, see now we got a little time

You can get your cash and a way out But first you got to do something for me

What

is it

You just gotta put your guns down and let the child go. The hell no. Just let

him run out the front door. No, nobody's leaving. Yo!

I'm trying to help.

Stop! Okay.

Don't move!

I'm not, I'm not, I'm not moving. I ain't moving. Get back! Oh my God. Get

back! Okay, okay, all right.

You do that again and you see what happens, you hear me? Okay. You hear me?

Boss, I got joy.

Take it.

Gotta put the guns down. No.

Nobody's putting down weapons.

Put those guns down now. People are going to get jumpy outside. Man, shut

up! Lower your guns. I will help.

He's lying, Will.

He's lying to us. No, no.

They're never going to let us out. No.

That ain't true.

You're going to tell us what his cash is, bitch. I don't know where it is.

Chicago PD!

Watts, you good? Yeah, I'm good.

Come on, let's go. Hey.

Why couldn't you just stop? My God.

Why couldn't you just stop? Why couldn't you both just stop? Why couldn't I talk

you down?

Think about it now.

Yeah, how you doing?

You good, bro?

And this time, I want those corners cleared before that school gets out.

Okay, today, Green with Fitzpatrick, 11-23.

Dixon and Markle, 11-13.

Egan, putting you with Rodriguez, 11-43.

Brighton Jones, 11-32.

Chavez, you take Conley today, 11-12.

And Penny, hang back with me.

Stay safe.

You ain't staying for me.

Outside.

Sir? Why do they call you Penny?

Uh, it's not a secret. They call me Penny because I'm a bad penny. A bad

penny always turns up.

Right.

Is that what you think? You think you just turn up in the suck?

No, sir.

Then what is it?

So I've been this way since I was a child.

I see something and I move on it. I see mostly everything.

My mom called it ADHD.

My lieutenant called it skill. Whatever the hell it is, I got it.

And when I don't move on it, when I don't let my eyes lead,

that's when trouble comes.

I'm always in it, sir, because I see it first and I move.

That lieutenant you just mentioned, is that... At Barrett?

No. Yeah, I didn't think so.

I looked you up. Good record.

There's this gap before Chicago. You policed in Durham?

Yes, sir.

All documentation of your time there has been sealed.

Yes.

Why?

I can't answer any of that.

Legally, I can't.

Okay, good enough.

I need an officer in my unit. We've been running low. I don't want to be.

If you want the position, report tomorrow at 800.

Hold up.

Sir.

You're asking me to join because I'm good police.

Or because I know the 11th and you're hard up for someone who's running dope

there?

Both.
