Original subtitles

You're awake.

Did you get any sleep at all?

Just a little.

It didn't work tonight?

Is this the messenger passage?

Is it?

I thought the seraphim were crows as a kid.

Isaiah fell to his knees and the crows cleansed his soul.

Because of the wings?

Yeah.

Seemed kind of scary.

My priest loved that passage.

And God asked for help, and Isaiah offered himself.

If you have trouble sleeping, wake me up next time.

We can go again.

Hello? Oh, my God. I can't believe one of you actually answered.

I was beginning to think y'all had silenced me on your notifications.

Do you know you can do that? Our neighbor showed Randall how.

Apparently, I get ferocious with my texting while he's at work and won't

answer, so I'm silenced.

It's a lovely new development in our marriage.

Are you still there?

Yeah.

I have a station assignment for you. My queue is full, and none of the other

nitwits are picking up.

Okay. What is it?

26th and Cal has a courtroom filing at 8 a.m., and Earps messed up the paperwork,

so I need someone to pick it up and run it over.

What, now?

Yeah. Torres, I'm not waking you up for the riveting conversation.

All right.

Earps has it? Yeah. I'll tell him you're coming now. You need to drop it off at

courtroom number 205, Judge Barton.

Yeah, I'll be there in 10, yeah?

Good luck with Randall.

Not cute or funny.

Hey.

You okay?

Hey, I can help you.

I'm gonna help you, huh?

Yeah.

Police?

Is anyone back there?

He's dead.

The driver started speeding.

Swerved. I think something was wrong with him.

We crashed.

Went flying.

We both hit the bench.

I think the arm got me.

What are the chances?

My driver croaks.

Van crashes.

Today of all days.

You move, I shoot. Need medical attention.

Probably.

I can take you.

Are you police?

You're bleeding pretty bad. I heard you.

You said police.

Are you?

Are you police?

What kind of cop?

I'm with intelligence.

Intelligence?

What are the chances?

Okay.

Get in the van.

Get his jacket and his cuffs.

I'm taking you with me.

I crashed into a CPD intelligence officer today.

You gonna help me?

Joe, it's too many calls in one morning. No, Barty, you are not wearing your

shoes like that. I'm not your mother. I'm tired of telling you these things.

What?

No, I talked to him ten minutes ago. He was five minutes out. He should be

there.

No, I don't know. I don't think so.

Okay, okay, okay, Joe.

I understand.

The judge is up your ass. I'll call him, all right? I'm calling him right now,

okay?

Jeez.

What's the plan? What plan? What plan you got?

What plan you got? Go away.

Huh? Where you taking me?

Move. Where you taking me? Where you taking me?

You know the police will be on their way right now, yeah? Yeah, move.

Yeah.

I'll shoot you. Shoot me? What are you waiting for? Yeah, I'll shoot somebody

else too.

Yeah, that's what it takes to stop you.

Stop!

What do you want from me?

What do you want? Huh? What do you want?

I'm doing life for a murder I didn't commit.

So today, you're gonna prove I'm innocent.

Get in the car!

You two heard from Dante?

No. No, ma'am. We skeleton today.

What's going on? He went AWOL doing me a favor. What the hell is up with that guy

lately?

If he told you he'd do you a favor, he will.

We'll track him down. Hey, we got it.

Sanchez. We got a prison transport van versus vehicle collision over on

Walkwell. What, near 26th and Cal?

Yeah, it's Columbo, Missouri now. We got two correctional officers dead on the

scene and prisoners escaped. Did they run the place of the other vehicle?

They're doing it now.

This is Boyd. Yeah?

Okay.

When?

You know, you probably have internal injuries. Keep your eyes on the road.

I can't drive like this. Yeah?

Yeah. Well, I'm not taking the damn cuffs off. So don't ask me again.

You're gonna take a word on 43rd. Head towards Bronzeville.

Why? What's in Bronzeville? The truth.

Eyes on the road. You're gonna have to tell me more than that if you want my

help. My appeal was gonna get denied.

That's where I was headed today.

Before I crashed into you.

Okay.

All right.

So, what's in Bronzeville?

Witness to my case.

My brother-in-law.

He said I killed my wife.

Put me in prison with lies.

Kept me there. Kept on lying and lying.

So today we're going to make him tell the truth.

We're searching all cams and pods as we speak. We've got men on every inch of a

three-mile radius.

Speed pick? Yes.

Tracking all traffic cameras in real time.

I'll keep you up to speed. Thanks.

This is Ricky. He was first on scene.

What the hell happened?

M.E.'s preliminary belief is that the transport driver suffered a stroke en

route, ran a red light, and collided at a high rate of speed. And we think this

was an accident, and think that the guard in the back of the van died in the

crash. Okay, who's the prisoner?

Name is Odell Morgan, convicted murderer, serving a life sentence at

Logan. Been locked up for five years. He was being transported in for an appeal

meeting with his lawyer this morning.

That's his lawyer there. Hey, over here.

Life sentence.

Odell Morgan, what can you tell me?

He's in for first-degree murder.

He was convicted of killing his wife, Simone.

Simone's body was never found, but the case against him was strong. How strong?

Simone and Morgan were seen fighting the night of. A heavy amount of Simone's

blood was found inside the house.

And Morgan's brother-in-law, who lived across the street, testified to seeing

Morgan transporting a heavy rug into his vehicle the night of.

I can get you all of his case files. Okay, was the appeal gonna be denied?

I can't tell you. Was it gonna fail?

Yes. Okay. Morgan's maintained his innocence.

He's been a model inmate.

No signs of violence? Except for murdering his wife and taking a police

officer hostage. Get me everything you can on Morgan. Any place he'd run.

Anyone who ever contacted him in prison. The homicide file. Everything.

Yeah. Trudy, I don't care if they plaster Morgan's face on every news

channel. I don't want an image of my officer out there. Understood.

I'm on. Got a radio call over the zone.

Woman just reported carjacking a couple blocks over.

Officers are on scene with her now.

Sounds like our men.

You know, your brother-in-law, he's not gonna... He's not gonna talk to you at

gunpoint. He will.

Even if he does, that's not gonna hold up in court.

That's coercion.

You're gonna be my witness.

Hell, then you can take him in front of a judge. That's not gonna happen. He

lied.

Over and over.

He was my friend.

My brother.

And he lied. Well, he keep on lying. To cops, to lawyers, on the stand, to our

family, to my own daughter, he lied.

I did not kill my wife.

He didn't see me that night.

He lied.

What makes you think he's gonna tell you the truth now?

He never looked me in the eye.

This time he will.

He'll look me in the eye.

And he won't be able to lie.

It's right there.

Fourth house on the right.

Park.

Pull over and park. You don't have a choice. I'm not going to let you hurt

these people. I'm not going to hurt anybody.

Park the car.

Where is he, Gabby? Where's your husband?

Carter, get out of here. Odell, what are you doing? Come on, Carter.

Come on out. He's not here.

Don't lie to me, because it's not going to work. He's not. He doesn't live here

anymore. Come on, Gabby.

Hey, hey, get down. Get down.

Hey, love.

Baby, are you hurt? No.

It's okay, it's okay. Are you? No.

Caleb?

Uncle Odell?

You got so big.

You've grown so much.

Mr. Mr.

Is he okay?

Get out of our house.

Kayla, are you okay?

I'm okay.

I'm not going to hurt you.

I will never hurt you.

Get out.

Where's Carter? I told you he's not here. Where is he, Gabby? I don't know

where he is.

Please don't lie to me. I'm not.

Okay, he's not here because of you.

That child destroyed him. He left us.

He lied, Gabby. I don't care that he lied.

I don't care what he saw that night, what he didn't see. I don't care.

He was terrified after that.

And then he left us.

He didn't tell me where he went. Won't tell me where he lives, so I don't know.

Get the hell out of my house.

Get out!

Out!

Out!

Move.

Would the police have ID'd the car that fast?

Yes.

Stay right there.

Okay, don't try anything.

You're gonna recup yourself to that metal.

Understand?

Try something, I'll kill you.

You try to disarm me again- You made your point.

Your brother-in-law, his name is Carter? Yes.

His wife didn't seem so shocked that he would have lied.

Because I'm not a killer. She knows that.

And you say you haven't had contact with Carter?

I haven't.

Only unanswered letters.

Then why is he scared?

Why doesn't he want his wife to know where he lives?

Because I didn't kill my wife.

I drank way too much that night. I passed out in bed. Someone came and

murdered my wife and made Carter lie.

That's why he's so scared.

Like I told you, it's all a goddamn lie.

Get in the car.

Where am I driving?

How can we find where Carter's living now? I don't know.

You need medical attention.

No.

You know, my team...

They can look into this. They can look into your case.

If you call us now, they'll dig into it, you know? We can re-interview Carter.

And Carter will lie.

What is it that you're not getting?

If I turn myself in, we both know exactly what will happen.

I'm going immediately back to prison.

And no lawyer in hell will ever look at my case again. My unit will. And you'll

get the same answer.

Carter will lie.

And that'll be the end.

But I'll never know who killed her.

Someone killed my wife.

They came inside and killed her while I was in the house.

They took my whole life in one night.

My kid thinks I killed them all.

Let this be over.

What happened that night?

You were at a bar.

Dominic, my daughter, she was at a friend's.

Staying over that night.

So, Simone and I went out.

Simone's off.

She was upset.

But I didn't know why.

So he's full.

And I drank.

Drank more when we got home.

Passed out in our room.

Then I woke up that morning.

There was blood everywhere.

So much blood.

I called police.

I was screaming.

They arrested me that day.

There. Pull in there.

You feeling all right?

Yep.

Want a bag?

Okay. It's 10 extra cents.

That's fine. Want to round up for Children's Relief Fund?

No. Here.

Here's your change.

Thirsty takes a minute. The machine...

Slow.

Morgan.

Keep moving.

You're bleeding really bad. I said keep moving.

I have to know.

I have to look Carter in the eye.

Myself. Just me.

I have to ask him why he lied.

He's the only hope I got.

He won't lie if I'm there.

You can't know that. I do.

Call it faith.

I do.

Keep moving.

Please.

Morgan!

All right.

Thanks.

No sign of them or the stolen vehicle. Patrol just missed them. How long? Four

minutes. Pulling all pods and cams now, Sarge. All right, get all these people

out on the street searching the area. Chevy might not have gotten far.

This blood?

I think it's Morgan's.

Charlie's inside.

Dude was bleeding all over the place. We have to house him at the store. You

called it in? Yeah. Where are your cameras?

Dude, I'm... Honestly thought I didn't see him soaking through his jacket.

People are idiots.

The man with him, he was all right?

I don't know.

Seemed fine.

His face was kind of blank. Like, I don't know, it might just be his face.

Security cameras are back there.

Quality leaves a whole lot to be desired.

Let's keep it in-house.

He passed out.

He stitched you up.

Yeah, but... But I'm not a doctor.

Why am I here?

You lost too much blood.

You might be in shock right now.

You need to go to the hospital.

I know.

But I won't until I do this.

You get that?

I know you get that.

Or else I'll be waking up surrounded by police, cuffed to a hospital bed.

You should be. But yet...

You brought me here Wow

What

are the chances

My man hits a police car this morning Yo

car what are the damn chances?

It's fate.

What else could it be?

I'm innocent.

I think you know that.

You brought me here.

You've already made your decision.

Right?

You believe Carter will tell you the truth?

If you're standing there, do you believe that?

Yes.

When I helped you find Carter,

And let you have your moment.

And look him in the eye.

And that's it.

Okay.

He'll be back in prison after.

Okay.

I won't let you run.

I know.

Do you know what you're risking?

I need to see him.

You're

making the right

decision.

I promise.

Do you still have the old computer?

Come.

These are our old.

Won't police know you accessed this?

Yeah. I'm telling you, we don't have a loan.

Who did Carter trust the most?

I don't know.

Um, he had a few guys on the block.

Frank with him.

I don't know, he trusted me, Simone.

They had a cousin. Name?

I don't know.

Simone didn't like him, but Carter did.

Dion Cruz.

Is he the cousin?

Mm-hmm.

That's Carter in the middle. Dion on the right.

Dion owns two properties in Gresham.

Looks like he lives in one and the other's unoccupied.

Maybe that's where Carter is.

All right.

I know I haven't been here.

My car keys are hanging by the door.

Hello?

Hello?

Whatever it is, I'm not interested.

You don't see the no solicitation sign?

Hey!

Carter! Wait, wait, wait, hold up.

Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up. We're not gonna hurt you. We're not

gonna hurt you, all right? Hey, hey, hey, back up!

Don't touch him!

Don't touch him.

Okay?

Listen. I'm police and he's not armed.

So I'm not going to let him hurt you, okay?

What the hell is he doing here? He's supposed to be in prison. Take a breath

for me.

Take a breath for me. He's not supposed to be here. I know, I know, I know.

I promised him one conversation.

One.

Then we're gone. Oh, no. I want to know why you lied. I'm not doing this. I'm

not doing this. Hey, hey, hey.

Listen. One conversation.

And we're out.

I was locked up for five years.

Because of what you said.

Why did you lie?

How is he here? I want to know why you lied.

If he ran from prison, then he's a fugitive. This is illegal. Look at me.

I can't be here.

Please, Carter, look at me and tell me why you lied.

You know me.

You stood up at our wedding.

Dominique's your goddaughter.

You're supposed to protect your sister.

You're supposed to be my family. Instead, you lied over and over. Do not

do this. Why did you lie? No, no. Look at me. No! Why can't you look at him?

You did lie, didn't you?

You can't be him.

Why?

Who you scared of?

Please.

Carter.

Did you even see Morgan that night?

Please. I had to.

I had no choice, man. They made me.

What?

Who made you lie?

I can't.

Who?

No, I can't, man. You can't be. Why not? Why, why? Who are you scared of?

Carter.

Look at him again.

Just look at him.

He's dying, man.

Just... Just tell him the truth.

No.

Well, Simone, you know I didn't tell her.

That's your sister. I know that.

They killed her.

They said they would kill me, my wife, and my kid.

I had no choice. I don't know. I've never known. How is that possible? They

called.

They called me. They threatened me. They got in my house.

They sent me pictures of my sleeping child with a gun to his head, okay?

I don't know who it was, but when he told me what to say, I said it.

I lied.

Then who killed him? I don't know.

I believe him.

I know. We dug into it. We all know what you were doing. Now stop talking.

5021, where's my ambo?

Morgan, look at me.

Stay with me.

Stay with me.

Just breathe.

Breathe. Breathe.

Just breathe with me.

Yeah.

Did they get caught on record?

I don't need to see.

Will they clear my name?

We're gonna work the case.

I wanna know who killed my wife.

Is that not working?

You need to call my daughter.

We will.

I told you.

What were the chances that I crashed into you?

The lawyer will meet you at the district.

We will get everything on record.

It was five years ago.

I don't have the phone that they called on. I don't have any information to give

you. I can be able to remember... You know more than you think, okay?

Watch your head.

Bring him straight to 21st. Sergeant Platt will meet you. Take him straight

to the interview room.

Any tech inside?

Yeah, we got a couple computers, a game console.

Get down! Get down!

They ain't from across the street!

Stay low! Stay low! We got one down!

No...

How?

He must have been lying in wait, watching Carter's place.

They must have known Morgan would run there.

They were scared Carter would talk.

Right. As soon as the shooter had a clear shot, he took it, made a clean

escape. We're still searching pods and cams. We could get lucky there.

We've got Carter's wife and son in protective custody. Did we get anything

out of Carter before he was shot? No. We were taking him into the district for

questioning. And someone took him out?

What is this?

I don't know.

Someone framed Morgan.

Yeah.

What?

Hi.

Can I help you?

You're Dominique Morgan?

Yes.

I'm Dante Torres with the Chicago Police Department.

Oh, uh, someone actually came already to notify me.

I didn't know about my dad's death. I'm here for something else.

What?

Some new evidence has come to light on your mother's case.

And we believe that your father was innocent.

What do you mean? That can't be... We uncovered new evidence.

Your dad didn't kill her.

I don't understand.

How is that... Who did?

I don't know yet.

But I'm here.

And I'm gonna help Can I

come in?

Yeah
