- You know,
every time we have a day off,

we just end up at O'Malley's.

Even doing the outdoor thing,
that place has an aftertaste.

We gotta stop going there.

- No, O'Malley's was
a necessary evil.

I needed to play darts.
I needed to win.

- [chuckles]

- Even though I didn't do
any winning whatsoever.

You still got that beer
from last weekend?

- No.

I think I have the awful stout,
though.

- That's it?
- Yeah.

- Yum.

Are you gonna want
one of these?

- Nope.

We still watching that movie?

All right.
Gimme these legs here.

Okay.

- Whoa!

[both laughing]
Sorry. I'm so sorry.

I'm really not that sorry,
though.

I hate this rug so much.

This is a stupid rug.

My rug would've fit in here
much better.

- You are never gonna put your
ugly rug in my apartment.

- I was gonna put my rug
in here

and it was gonna be beautiful
with the décor.

- So what's happening
right now?

Are you gonna even pretend
to clean it up?

Or just--just gonna leave it?

- [laughing]

I wasn't even gonna pretend.
It's fine. It's just a splash.

- It's not a splash.
My rug is soaked.

- It's a splash.

I'm too comfortable.
Come on.

And you're very warm.
- [chuckles]

You smell like O'Malley's.

- So do you.
- [scoffs]

- Like, uh, whiskey and smoke.
Winter.

I like it.

[indistinct radio chatter]

- Seems way too coincidental

not to be related

He called 911
about 30 minutes ago.

- All right.
Hey, sir.

I'm Detective Halstead,
this is Detective Upton.

- Sir, you mind
going through it again?

- Yeah, sure.

So, I was working
right over there

and I heard some screaming,
so I looked over

and I saw three guys go past
wearing masks.

- Masks?
- Yeah, ski masks.

They were runnin' like hell.

One of 'em had a crowbar.

Another was tucking something
into their waistband.

A gun, I guess.

Then all of a sudden,
a gray SUV came up.

They hopped in and sped away.

Then about a minute later,
a blue BMW came speeding by.

- A blue BMW?

- I could see the driver.
His face was really bloody.

- What about the gray SUV?

Did you get a look
at that driver?

Get the plates?
- No, I'm sorry.

All I saw were the kids
in the masks

and the side of the SUV.
- Kids?

- I mean,
I didn't see their faces,

but by the way they're running,
the way they were dressed,

the way they were screaming
at each other,

I could tell they were kids.

Seemed like teenagers.

- Caught a strange one.

- The only witness was the guy
that called it in.

- And the victim?

- Blood tox came back negative
for drugs and alcohol.

The guy's still unconscious

but Med's gonna contact as soon
as we can question him.

- Okay, so what do we think
happened?

- Well, right now, we're
betting on a failed carjacking.

Been a 40% increase
in carjackings

in that neighborhood
this month alone.

Perfect territory.

There's a through line
from downtown,

usually pretty void
of pedestrians,

meaning there's a hell of
a lot of high-end vehicles

on a quiet street.

- The victim was driving
a $90,000 BMW,

and there was evidence
of a beating

inside and outside the car,
so they pulled him out.

- So a new, young crew
tries to jack Jeff's car,

things go wrong--
maybe Jeff fights back

or the kids get spooked.

Crew takes off,
hop in their buddy's car

and Jeff tries to drive away.

- We got a hit on
the offender's car.

Gray SUV was clocked on PODs
two blocks away.

- Nice. You get an angle
on the windows?

- Can't see inside
or see plates,

but I ran the car through
our HOT file.

Gray SUV was reported stolen
two months ago

by a Jessica Ramirez.
Now, the kicker?

Jessica works at a DCFS center

with kids aging out
of the system.

Teenagers.

- Okay, that's good.

Why don't you guys
check it out?

- So your SUV was stolen
from here?

- Uh, no.

Well, I mean yes, it was,

but I had parked it around back
in the lot.

- And the kids here
have access to it?

- Sure.
But really, anyone has access.

The lot's open to the street.

- What, you really think
just anyone took your car?

- [chuckles softly]
I don't know.

At this point,

I kind of just assumed
my car was gone for good.

- Right.

Well, Jessica, look.

We're looking for a crew
of teenagers

that were involved
in what we believe to be

a pretty brutal
attempted carjacking,

and they're using your SUV.

So I understand you want
to protect these kids, but--

- I noticed my spare keys
were missing, uh,

after I called the police.

These kids, they have it rough.

I was just trying to give them
a moment of peace, but...

my spare keys
were in the drawer.

- You know
who might've taken 'em?

- No, but I know the kids
who had access.

- Huh.

- A lot of names.
13 teenagers.

- Be hard to find, too.

Kids that age out
notoriously disappear.

- Medics took the victim
to Chicago Med.

Had signs
of a massive heart attack.

His name's Troy Wrightman,
62 years old.

This is his car.

Married, no children,
no priors.

The kids that we saw fleeing--

looks like they were
three males and a female.

- Ruzek's talking to a witness.

Says he saw two kids
rush the car.

- Two?
What happened to the third?

- Don't know.
Says he saw two.

Here's what's weird.

The kids ran off,
they opened the doors,

they ripped the victim out,
they beat him,

and then they took off running.
- So, what,

you guys got here and scared
'em before they can

actually take the car?
- I don't think so.

We got here right as the SUV
was about to hit the alley.

Seemed like a getaway car.

- You don't need a getaway car
for a carjacking.

- No.

- Guy's pockets were rabbited.
No wallet.

Maybe we're looking
at a robbery crew.

- Hell of a lot of trouble
for a wallet.

- Yeah.
I don't know.

- All right.
Keep working the scene.

I mean, we got one witness.
Maybe there're more.

Dig into this Troy.

Search that SUV top to bottom.
Whole thing's evidence.

- Yeah.

- Thank you, thank you.

- Was that Alanah?
- Yeah.

- Everything good?
- Yeah, I think so.

I guess Kathy
missed some school pickups

so the teacher
had to call DCFS,

but now Makayla and Kathy
are back together,

and they're offering Kathy
extra support, so...

- That's good.
- That's good.

- Okay, where we at?

- I connected with Med.

Our two victims, Jeff and Troy,
are conscious,

but they're refusing
police help.

They don't wanna talk.
- Huh.

- We searched the SUV
top to bottom.

We found 2 grand in cash

and six wallets
with the IDs in 'em.

Upton and Atwater
are chasing that right now.

Car's loaded with stuff.

It's like these
are street kids.

They're living in there.

Maybe they use the car
when it gets cold out.

- Right.
So we ran those profiles

of those other robbery victims
from the six wallets.

Definitely a pattern.

- They're all men?
- Yeah.

Three of the IDs have
prior pops for solicitation,

so we ran the crime scenes
with that information in mind.

First one is five blocks
from a male stroll,

second one is two blocks from
a corner Vice recently ID'd.

- The kids are prostitutes
robbing their johns.

- Yeah.

Which makes sense why

our witness only saw two kids
rush the car.

The third one
was already inside.

They take the job, get into
a car, go into a quiet place--

the other kids are there
waiting to rush the car.

- Explains our 2 grand in cash.

- So the kids get tired
of touching their johns,

find a new way to make money.

I mean, they're doing this
to survive, right?

- Well, let's run that DCFS
list again with this in mind,

loop in Vice,
hit every stroll and corner

young prostitutes frequent,
any place street kids crash.

We just took their car
and all their cash,

so they gotta know
the heat's on 'em.

Let's find these kids before
they get more desperate.

- This case, the kids,
the prostitution...

it's starting to remind me

of the case
where we lost the baby.

- Yeah.

- Do you ever wonder if maybe

that's the reason
we're even closer now?

Like, why we want to be
together all the time,

why we act like a couple...

because of this terrible thing
that happened to us?

- Of course it is.

What?

- That's not a good thing,
Adam.

- Why not?
- Because it's not real.

It's not closeness,
it's just trauma.

- It's not real?
- No.

- Kim, hold on.
- Yeah.

- You and I, we've always
been us, all right?

Then we were gonna have a baby.
- Yeah.

- So we fell in love
with something together,

then we lost something
together.

I mean, sometimes trauma
just brings people closer.

Why is that not real?

Excuse me.

Started robbing people

so you wouldn't have
to turn tricks anymore.

But the problem is
you robbed these men.

You beat them, you had a gun,
you had a crowbar.

with a deadly weapon.

- No.

I mean, they won't.

He's telling you the truth

because the chances are
we will find them,

and it's a lot harder to claim
self-defense once you've run.

And let me tell you:

if they cross state lines,
that's it, we can't help them.

- You can't guarantee me
that you can help now.

I'm all they have.
They're all that I've ever had.

I need to help them.

- No, you need
to help yourself right now.

- No, no.
I'm not gonna hurt them.

There's a chance
you guys don't find them,

that they'll have a shot
at something.

[scoffs]

I'm done talking to you.

- Miguel.

All right, Miguel is not gonna
roll on his friends.

So what do we have?

- Ballistics did come back

on the 9 millimeter from
the shooting at the house,

and it's match for the killing.

- Forensics also came back
as a match for the SUV.

We got three separate prints
on the crowbar.

One of 'em is Miguel's.

- All right, what do we have
on Michael and Sammie?

- Nothing yet.

We're up on buses
and train stations.

We've got investigative reports
out.

- Yeah, I mean,
we've been digging,

but they were in foster care
for over a decade.

They got no family,
no connections to anybody

other than each other.
I mean, it's gonna be

tough to pinpoint
where they're gonna run to.

- We have enough evidence
to charge Miguel on all counts.

- Okay, so we start processing
charges on Miguel.

Maybe once they feel real,
it'll scare him into talking.

- So that's it?

They're kids.

They were doing this
to put a roof over their heads.

They've got these dream houses
scribbled in their notebooks.

They're kids
with no place to go,

a system that failed them.

Hell,
they're robbing their johns,

and the answer is,
"They can go to jail"?

That's the best
we can do for them?

- Look, I get it, but...

they did rob these men.

One of 'em's dead, and
Miguel's not talking, so...

unless you got a better play
I'm not thinking of...

- I don't have another play.

- Okay, so keep searching.

[phone buzzes]
Okay?

Miguel's only chance
is we find his friends

so they can corroborate
his self-defense story.

Let's go.
- Hello?

Hey.

- You confronted Kathy?
- I went to offer help.

- But it turned into
accusations?

- Well,
I didn't mean for it to.

- She filed a complaint.

- Okay, is this--[huffs]

is this really what
we're gonna talk about?

You're Makayla's social worker,

and we're not gonna talk
about Makayla?

- You want this
to have a clean solution.

- Yes, I want this
to have a solution.

- Well, it's way
more complicated than that.

It's also way more complicated
than you falsely believing

that everyone here
isn't doing their very best.

- Yeah, well--I'm--
I know, sorry.

- Kathy is dealing
with mental issues.

Anxiety, depression.

If we keep Makayla in her care,

there's a thousand possible
bad outcomes.

Kathy is telling us it's
not best for either of them,

so we find
an alternate placement.

- A group home?
- For right now, yes.

- What if Makayla
came home with me?

- I know you feel for her,

but there are so many ways
to be there for a child

without fostering them.

She's a child who's just
experienced trauma,

she's a Black child,

you're a cop
with a very demanding job

who's white, who's single.

None of this is
to be discouraging.

That's all fine,

but these are very real issues
you need to think about.

Makayla deserves someone...
committed.

It's just--you can't make
a decision like this

in a moment
when life seems unfair.

[dramatic music]

.

- Hey. Anything?
- Nothing.

The kids moved last night,

and I don't think
we clocked 'em.

- Hey, uh, might have them.

Patrol car report of a stolen
Chevy downtown around 5 a.m.

POD caught it.
Two teenage offenders.

Physicals match
Michael and Sammie.

- There we go.
We got a BOLO on that?

- Patrol's actually got it
in a truck lot on Ashland--

unoccupied.

- That's gotta be them.
We'll take it.

There's our Chevy.

- Keys are still in the car.

- Hey.
- Hey, how you doin'?

- Morning.
We're with Chicago PD.

We're looking for the two kids
that were driving the Chevy

that's parked out front.

You recognize
either of these guys?

- No.
Haven't seem either of them.

- Got anybody else working here
this morning?

- Just me.
- Security cameras?

- No. City might have some
down the way.

- You got none on the lot
whatsoever?

- No, sorry. Kids do come here
to hitch a lot, though.

A lot of trucks
move in and out.

- Thanks very much.

Listen,
I'm gonna go around back.

- Yeah.

[soft dramatic music]

- I'm gonna keep checking,
but back looks clear.

- Front, too.

[engine turns]

- We could pull the PODs
nearby,

maybe grab whatever semi
they hopped into.

- We're hours behind them,
Adam.

If they're smart,
they'll keep switching trucks,

keep hitching.

Already gone.

Nothing on any PODs.

- Yeah,
nothing on traffic cams,

no security footage.

- There's just every reason
to believe

they already crossed
state lines.

- Process Miguel,

get out leads, messages
on Michael and Sammie.

Look, chances are

some state policeman
will pick 'em up soon.

♪

- Okay, Miguel.

Patrol will be here in a few,
transport you to County.

- What about Lily?
- She's still unconscious.

It's too early
to know the damage,

but they think
there will be some.

I can let you know.
- Okay.

- Miguel, when we were
in that abandoned house,

when you told Michael
and Sammie to run,

you said,
"I'll meet you there."

Is "there" where you were
gonna build a home together?

Where is "there"?

Your friends ran.
They crossed state lines.

I told you before
what that would mean,

what their chances would be.

They will be picked up
by state police

I know you wanna protect them.

That's why
you're doing all this.

I do, too.

So tell me, Miguel,
where is "there"?

♪

- They're in Iowa.

♪

- Yeah,
I've got credible information

that our offenders
are fleeing to Iowa,

so I've limited
the investigative alerts

to your jurisdiction alone.

No, nothing down south.

No, no other BOLOs or alerts
needed.

Yeah, Iowa.
Thank you.

- You're still here?
- Yeah.

I'm just finishing up.

- Sorry we can't solve every
case and save every kid.

- You know,
I never told anybody this,

didn't even tell Adam...

but a couple of months
after I lost the baby,

I looked up that girl
that I saved in the motel room.

- Really?

- Think I thought it would
make me feel something.

Called her mom.

Said she hadn't seen her
daughter in months.

She'd run away,
and she was gone.

What would you think
if I took Makayla in?

- [chuckles]

I think
that would change her life.

- I know I'm not her family,
I know I'm a cop, I'm white.

I know these are real things.

- You're right.

You are not her family
and you and white,

so you're gonna be
up against a lot.

- I think I can
do right by her.

- Kim, you asked me
what I needed before.

It wasn't about me,
it was about what they needed.

I had to keep my family
together.

Had to make sure
that Vinessa and Jordan

didn't get stuck in a system

that I knew
they couldn't get out of.

So, yeah, it was impossible.
We did need everything.

I just--

I was theirs...

you know what I'm saying?

I loved them, and that
took care of the rest.

And if you got that,
you'll be good.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- I was coming to find you.
- Yeah?

Hey, do you wanna
get some dinner?

Before you say yes,
I want to tell you

that I'm gonna turn off our
radios as a preemptive strike.

That way,
you'll have to talk to me.

- Kathy gave up
her parental rights.

- No.
Why?

- Because she loves Makayla
and wants what's best for her.

- But where's Makayla gonna go?
- With me.

- Really?

Like, on a temporary basis?

- Well, for now,
but Alanah's working on it.

There's a lot of red tape,
logistics, but it's possible

it could become
a more permanent situation.

- Like you fostering her?
- Yeah.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- Okay.
Have you thought that through?

I mean, what would that
even look like?

- I don't know.
- Kim?

- Adam, you can say whatever
you want to say.

- It's not about what I want
to say, it's just, I mean--

that's a lot, you know?

You know you can't replace
what we lost.

- I'm not trying to.

I feel something for this kid.
I do.

I feel close to her.
- I understand.

But just yesterday,
we're talking about trauma

and you told me
how that's not real, right?

- Right.
Well, what if you're right?

What if it doesn't matter?

I know that this might change
what we have,

you know, what we can have.

- Kim, that's not why
I'm saying any of this.

It's just not.

I'm always gonna be
in your life.

That's not gonna change.

It's just this is, like...

I'm a little worried
