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.

Speaking Spanish...
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.

*CHICAGO PD*
Season 09 Episode 14

Episode Title: "Blood Relation"
Aired on: March 02, 2022.

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?
