Video Summary
AI GeneratedThe narrative intertwines a violent bank robbery investigation with deep-seated systemic corruption within the city's police department and political leadership. As officers hunt a dangerous suspect, they must navigate internal betrayals, forced retirements, and a complex power struggle involving mob-linked construction schemes and high-level bribery.
Units in 18 and units on the city-wide,
we have an armed robbery in progress at City North Bank 1260 East Chestnut.
You're eyes are on the right.
First unit on scene, please identify yourself.
City North Bank 1260 East Chestnut.
Well, the first one's here.
Police! Everyone just give your hands where they are, nice and easy!
Can somebody tell me where the shooters are?
They went downstairs.
How many?
Two men, masked. There were gunshots.
Yeah, how long ago?
About a minute, maybe.
We got covered.
They're going down. Clear on the right.
I got a person down. Person down.
Going down the right, Jared.
Where'd the shooters go, ma'am?
They left about 30 seconds ago, out the back.
I heard a car.
How many of them?
Two.
Cover the right back door, Evers.
Male or female, ma'am?
Male, male.
Slow down.
What happened?
They took all the money from the cash drawers.
Only I put a GPS device in one of the bags.
It's activated.
B-5533 in pursuit.
Madison to Adams.
On the L train.
B-5533, we've got armed robbery offenders on the L train,
traveling west on the brown line towards the Quincy stop.
Get cars to the Quincy stop now.
Move, move.
Chicago Police, just keep nice and calm.
Slow down.
Evers, clear.
This is B-5533.
We're on the brown line traveling towards the Sal at Van Buren.
We're going to need this train stopped before we get there.
Police.
Nice and calm.
Did you guys see anything?
No?
Did we miss them?
Dispatch, we're going to see if we can show our targets out.
Over.
Down the train in front of us.
Dispatch, cancel that request to stop the train.
Just don't freak everyone out.
It's the only exit.
Did you see where he went?
No, I was just looking at the train.
This is the southwest corner of the Sal at Van Buren.
We've got one down with a PSW to the head.
We've got a bank tracking device right here.
Now we're flying blind.
Guess our robbers find the tracking device, get ready to dump it.
This poor sap gets in the way and bang.
Why not one more? He's already put down a security guard.
Did we find any ID yet?
No, no ID.
And unfortunately, not much of a face either.
No wallet?
No, no wallet, nothing.
No ID.
He came off the train that way. It's weird, right?
Can you get me Lieutenant Simons of the 23rd District, please?
Superintendent, we need to get going.
To what?
You have to remind her.
The dedication? I'm afraid I'm not going.
The mayor's speaking.
Yes, he does that.
Listen, do me a favor.
You tell them that as my chief of staff, you were there to show support.
And if anyone complains, you mention to them that there have been two shootings
and a bank robbery and the killer with an MP5 in an area where schools are about to let out.
Mary!
If any calls you need to make, we can make from the car.
What are they dedicating again? A boat?
A boat launch. It's on the south bank of the canal.
There's going to be a high school band there.
Lieutenant, I want to make sure we're increasing police presence in all school districts for the next few hours.
Where can we pull from?
So, sir, you got a look at the two robbers?
I did not get a look at them. I explained that to the other cops.
You already said that you were standing right next to one of the robbers.
Well, I was on the floor.
Okay, just see what he had on his feet, what shoes he was wearing.
White sneakers, high tops.
Any kind of design?
Laces, green laces.
Like those?
You caught him already, huh?
Maybe. Look, we appreciate your help.
One of the guys is going to get your contact details, so just hang around.
So, before he lost his face, our dead guy was in on the heist.
I guess his partner wanted all the money for himself.
That's one way to renegotiate. Let's see if this dead guy is going to rap sheet.
The best thing about being Chicago PD is having 10,000 friends.
Unless, like me, you work undercover.
Then you spend your whole day acting like your enemies are your friends and vice versa.
It's enough to get you mixed up on which one's which.
What?
You can't bluff to save your life.
Sure I can.
So how come you're broke?
It's a tactic. Breaking down your defenses. It's already working.
Surprised to see you got out of bed.
Well, at least asleep till four.
So?
Well, you're lucky you got a job.
What do you do?
I work construction.
What he means to say is he gets paid to not do construction.
Isn't that right, fat boy?
There are guys on the payroll who don't come to work.
So the city pays the bills, and then guys come to us, we split the paycheck.
I'm the man in City Hall.
Who's the man in City Hall?
The guy who gave me this gig.
My old man did give me some favors once.
Shut your stupid mouth. What the hell are you thinking?
Let me ask you, Bubba. You got money here to buy into this game.
So why are you short the last two weeks?
I was waiting to win it all from you.
I feel like I got a rush coming up.
Get the door!
You think you can sniff us for two weeks running and then just come in here and play cards with us?
All right, Evans, let's hit it.
Saki! First on the scene.
Yo, Moose.
What's up?
Can't come talk to us?
Man, I'm busy. What's going on?
You're busy, huh?
Well, I thought you might want to say goodbye to Jonesy before he retires.
You're a little young to be kicking it on a pontoon boat, huh?
Yeah, tell me about it.
You're a piece of work.
What do you mean by that?
What, did I miss something?
Yeah, your best buddy, Superintendent Colvin's running him off the force.
Moose, it's the first I've heard of it, man. It's got nothing to do with me.
I mean, as far as I'm concerned, Jonesy's good police.
You better get that.
Might be the superintendent asking for more recommendations for our hit list.
Saki.
Hey, it's Liam. I got something for you.
Are you in a secure line?
Yeah.
All right, go. What do you got?
Hey, Evans.
We're asking. What up?
You hear David Mullins is looking for a new partner?
I think maybe you two should team up.
No one's going to blame you if you trade horses.
Don't let Wasaki drag you down.
Come on, kid. Let's roll.
Moose.
Pearson wants to schedule a call.
I told him you have the CAPS meeting, so that's probably going to run from at least 11.30 till about 12.45, knowing the way things are.
Excuse me. Everyone, I need to have a word with Detective Wasaki, please.
Just be a minute.
Thank you.
Should I?
Thank you, Bill.
Next time you decide to retire a senior detective in my division, it might be nice if you give me a heads up.
Everybody, everybody thinks I'm behind it.
Are there any other decisions I should be running by you?
I'm serious. Wasaki just bawled me out in front of everybody.
Did he make you cry? Did it hurt your feelings?
No.
Jonesy and his two buddies were running a tow truck scam.
They were giving their friends an early heads up about cars in distress.
I didn't know.
No, you wouldn't, because Jonesy offered to resign rather than to submit to a department investigation.
Although I'm sure he's spinning it to all his boys as if I'm the Wicked Witch of the West.
Well, something like that, yeah.
Yeah, well, it wouldn't be the first time.
You said Liam called. What was it about?
Hugh Killian. You familiar with him?
One of the top players in the Irish mob.
Hides behind some front company, right?
Dan's worth construction.
Him and his mob buddies are pulling usual tricks, timesheets for no-shows, overbilling, double-billing, you name it.
Okay, the mob overcharges. I'm shocked.
And they got a big city contract, which, according to Liam, Gibbons made happen.
What do you mean, made happen?
Well, he's not on it officially, but according to Liam, he's behind it, pulling the strings, and taking his cut.
And do we have proof?
Well, if all of our conversation between two Irish drunks is proof, yeah.
If only it were, my get out of the job would be so much easier.
So?
I mean, come on, we could do something about this.
Look, I was positive that Gibbons was the one who tried to kill me.
Who killed Antonio.
All right? But I was wrong.
And quite frankly, so were you.
What are you saying?
I'm saying, how do we know anything about him?
Really, how do we know?
You feel it.
You feel it?
Yeah.
This is all innuendo.
You know, Saddam Hussein never even had WMDs, but he let the world think that he did.
Why? Because it made him seem more powerful.
What if Gibbons is doing the same thing?
What if he's just encouraging these rumors, letting everyone think that he has wise guy connections, so that no one crosses him?
What if it's exactly as it looks like?
All right, let's test your theory then.
We'll go hard on the construction site.
We'll get city inspectors from building, electrical, licensing, sanitation.
Good. If Gibbons reacts, we know he's in on it.
Exactly.
You know, what if you get Ernie's team to issue moving violations to every truck that rolls through?
You want organized crime writing the tickets on this?
Well, sends a message, don't you think?
He's not going to like it.
What, you think it should be someone else?
No, I think Ernie's the right guy for this.
All right. Let's clap our hands, see if Gibbons jumps.
Got an ID on our faceless bank robber.
James T. Littleton. Did time in Stateville.
Twice for armed robbery, once for vehicular hijacking.
He's certainly got the pedigree.
Also, I called the hospital to check on our security guard, and she's in surgery, so...
Okay.
Are you okay?
Why?
All that crap with Jonesy and Musicki can get in your face.
No, I wouldn't worry about the moose.
Karma sent him to a construction site with a book full of tickets.
Right.
So, check it out. I pulled the contact cards for Littleton.
Find his running mates.
His last two street stops were with this solid citizen, Samuel Robbins.
Long rap sheet, even better than that.
The prosecutor on his last arrest said he spent six months in a psych ward.
Violent and crazy, eh?
Where do these two ends like to mix?
No known address on this guy.
Of course. Okay, let's pay faceless' pad a visit, see what we can dig up about his not-so-friend.
Yeah, that's our dead guy's car.
Plates match.
Sleeping bag.
Bunch of clothes.
Someone's taking a road trip.
Hoods worn.
B5533 requesting car 1650 West Harlem.
We've got a possible on the offender from the bank robbery.
Fifteen and a ten.
Fifteen and a ten?
Yes, sir.
And by my math, that's five miles per hour more than the posted limit.
You're in plain clothes.
Organized crime division. Should be doing real police work.
So how come you're writing tickets?
Trust me, we're almost as annoyed as you are.
5533, that's Jarek.
As much as I'd love to hightail it over there, your uncle gave us a job to do, so we're gonna do it.
Excuse me while I write a parking ticket.
That's him. That's Samuel Robbins. That's him.
Where's the backup?
All right, we're going in. Let's go.
Hey, stop!
Squad 10-1. 1650 West Harlem. Send all available cars now.
Can't get a shot off.
Sweetie, move out of the way! Behind the car!
Don't cover me, okay?
Elvis, talk to me! What's going on, man?
He's gone!
Squad, where's the backup?
Congratulations, fellas.
29-1 record. State champions.
Yeah, I expect to see some of y'all playing for the Bulls one day, right?
After you go to college and get a degree. Agree?
There's some guests waiting on you guys outside, okay? Go get them.
This is great stuff. Guys, make sure they get everything they need out there, all right?
Thank you. Appreciate it.
Roland, do you know anything about city departments cracking down on job sites?
No. What?
I just got a phone call. The Benton Street Project's getting hassled.
For what?
Sounds like petty stuff to me.
Don't I have an appointment with the superintendent later on?
Yes, you do.
Make sure you come with.
We have 300 rounds of armor-piercing ammo.
Oh, my God. You gotta be kidding.
No wonder it was shield medicine. We could just haul a haul from the bank job.
This desperate intrigue I had before. What's it gonna be like now?
20 minutes after I called, now you just, what, screw up, huh?
Annie?
Go easy puts you in hospital, and me and my partner and a little girl almost got a head shot off.
Well, we're the first ones here?
Yes, you're the first ones here.
It's all you missed was some guy spraying the neighborhood with a submachine gun.
And thanks to you, he got away.
Well, Saki, we were halfway across town when the call came in.
Wait, there's three other units who should be here.
Mousikian's crew was the closest. Where are they?
Where's Mousikian?
Somewhere else.
Fine, Thomas, I'm gonna start with you.
Where were you when the officer needs assistance call went out?
Which call was that?
Well, you were either out of your car with both your radios turned off, or you and I have a very serious problem.
Oh, because you both heard it, didn't you?
Well, you all heard the call, but none of you answered it. You left my partner and I to get our asses shot off.
You need to give me one reason why I shouldn't wipe the floor with you.
Look, we weren't trying to get you hurt.
It's about the guys being run off the force lately.
Mousikian said your feed names to the superintendent.
He said we should freeze you out for a day or two to show a little solidarity.
Solidarity?
Yeah, and I'm really sorry.
Tell Mousikian I'm looking for him.
Last time, three burglaries in the last month near Shaw, right around Brook Street.
Well, we'll pay special attention to that neighborhood.
That's what I want to hear. Thank you.
Anything else?
Oh, you've taken enough of your time. Good to see you again.
Thank you, Alderman.
Oh, actually, Superintendent, there is one more little thing.
Yes?
What, are we not done?
Oh, it's just a little thing.
Dan's Worth Construction, they've got a building on Benton Street.
They feel they've been targeted with excessive fines and ticketing.
I'm sorry, Benton Street, is that site in your ward?
No, no it's not.
Well, I'm not sure where your interest in this project lies.
Where is it again?
It's Benton and 23rd.
Well, what I can tell you is I've got a lot of constituents in my ward who are construction workers.
Carpenters, truckers, they need those jobs desperately.
Now, it seems to me, in this economy, we should be doing everything we can do to help those people stay in their jobs.
But look, this is your call, and I respect that.
I can call the Department of Buildings.
I'll take another look at it.
Thanks again.
Sure.
And you too, Mr. Hampton.
Alderman, I didn't mean to step on your toes.
If you want to call the DOB yourself, that's great.
Just ask them to go easy on this one construction site, and then we'll tell them that...
I'd like them to shut it down.
Shut it down?
The alderman who controls this entire department's purse string has just asked us to lay off.
I am aware, and I'm asking you to have the site closed.
This is about Gibbons, right?
Look, I know I was forced on you by the mayor's office.
But I can't be useful to you unless you share your thoughts.
Look, when I have proof, I will bring you up to speed, I promise.
But until then, it's best if I handle this on my own.
You mean with Wasaki?
It's not personal, Bill.
I know that.
I'll call them and tell them you want the site closed.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Who's that?
Robin's old doctor at the site ward.
I told her that he had shot two people and robbed a bank.
She told me she wasn't even surprised.
He's paranoid, delusional, doesn't trust anyone.
Did she say why they let him out?
Yeah, the treatment was too expensive.
It's cheaper to chase him, huh?
Unbelievable.
Is something on your mind, kid?
Yes.
The deal that you have with the superintendent where you get to take whatever case you want.
Yeah, what about it?
Well, I think it's great that we get to take over all these high-profile cases,
and then you get to oversee the entire investigation.
But?
But it puts us on the outside of everybody else.
So?
Superintendent Colvin's not winning any popularity contests right now.
Your point?
Moose isn't the only one talking smack.
Guys from the locker room, guys, buddies of mine from my old district.
Think I'm Teresa's snitch, huh?
And as your partner...
As my partner?
Well, that doesn't have to be a permanent situation, kid.
When I'm married...
Okay, hold on.
I'm just asking.
Do you think that it's all worth it?
I want to do my job.
But we can't even trust other cops to have our backs.
This job gets dangerous.
Yes, it does.
All right, what's going on?
Neighbors heard shots fired.
Called it in.
We're taking fire from whoever's inside.
Fully automatic weapon?
No, something smaller.
Oh!
That doesn't sound like our guy.
No, well, he's got his ammo, so maybe he got himself a handgun.
All right, wait.
You guys are going to take the rear.
We're going to go in the front door, okay?
All right, you good?
All right, let's go.
Police! Police!
Drop the gun!
Hands! Hands! Hands!
I thought he was trying to kill me.
What happened?
I got held up at 150.
This guy was saying he would come back and kill me.
How long ago?
A few minutes ago.
All right, the offender fled the building, out the back.
You guys see anything?
Recognize any of these guys?
This is the guy.
This one?
Yes.
Where is he?
You can still take it, though.
Hang on, I'll be back in a second.
Better late than never, huh?
Came by to say I'm sorry.
For what?
A dozen officers failed to show up,
and your own niece was one of them.
So you can definitely give that order, though?
Yeah, of course I can.
What if something had happened?
That's fine, nothing happened.
Yeah, but if something happened...
No, no, it's fine, it's okay.
Nothing happened, all right?
Any other guys just busting their chops about me?
Don't worry.
I don't stick up for you.
That's a good plan.
Seriously, though, just keep a low profile
until I get this sorted out.
You don't need to pay my bills.
No, thank you.
Superintendent, you know my niece?
Superintendent.
Officer Rosaki, nice to see you.
Excuse us, please.
Sure.
You're always chasing people off,
you ever notice that?
No, I'm just saying.
Gibbons came by today.
Asked me to go easy on Dan's worth construction.
Indirectly, of course.
What'd you do?
Shut the site down.
So now Killian's blaming Gibbons.
I think it's time we had a chat with Killian.
Why don't you let Evers take the lead here,
tell him you'll catch up.
Ride with me.
Why don't you tell me where we're going
and I'll get myself there.
Yeah, you look like the kind of guy
that would know where Hugh Killian is, huh?
Is he here?
Am I right?
Go and work off some of that weight
and go and fetch him, huh?
And you, know the drills.
Why don't you just beat it?
Make sure he gets tears about this.
Officer Kamosh.
This place is known for its peaceful ambience.
I'm sure.
We're just about to sit down.
Why don't you join us?
You tried the food here?
They got a shepherd's pie and it'll blow your mind.
Not to mention it can feed a small village.
I think we'll pass, buddy.
We're here to talk about Dansworth Construction.
I'm more of a silent partner now.
Really?
So then you won't mind if the construction site
on Benton Street is closed permanently.
See, we don't even really need to arrest you.
Just dry up your income,
put a serious cramp in your lifestyle.
Yeah, we used to have a pretty steep dry cleaning bill.
Fancy suit like that.
Since you two sat down here,
I've been waiting patiently, I think you'd agree,
to hear what the hell it is you want.
Here it is.
You've been working with a city official,
someone who's supposed to be protecting you from all of this.
That's who we want.
You give us a name, we'll back off of you.
I do business with hundreds of city officials.
I wouldn't know where to start.
Then get over it.
And when the money dries up,
ask yourself who your friends really are.
She just got out of surgery.
She's not supposed to have visitors here.
We understand.
We're just trying to catch the men that did this.
Time is of the essence.
Just a couple of questions.
Please.
Just don't upset her.
No, we won't. Let's go.
How are you doing?
Ethel, I'm Detective Musaki,
and this is Detective Evers.
I'm just going to show you a couple of pictures
for you to take a look at.
Do you recognize any of these men?
They're wearing masks during the robbery,
but did you see any of them in the bank
in the days leading up to it?
Mm-mm.
No?
What do you remember from the robbery?
Someone took my gun.
It was two men.
They made me help them with the cash drawers.
Yeah.
One of them hit me over the head,
and then he shot me.
And then he shot you.
Why do you think he shot you?
He thought I hit the alarm.
He shot you because you hit the alarm.
His shots were fired before the alarm went off,
according to our witnesses.
Which one was it?
Did the alarm go off before or after you were shot?
It's okay.
No, it's okay.
Just think.
Please, just think.
Okay, I'm sorry.
We have to stop.
Okay, excuse me.
You have to stop.
You're not even supposed to be here.
She's in pain.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Nurse!
Is she lying to us?
Yeah, I think so.
Well, you know, I can think of
smarter places for us to meet.
Come to think of it,
that'd be most other places in the city.
I want you to see this for yourself.
Seven grand a day
just to rent the machinery we got in there.
It'd be nice if no one would turn it back on.
You know, there must be a reason
that Teresa's targeting you.
Either somebody on your end
spills the beans, or somebody...
You do your job, and I'll do mine.
And your job is to protect us from that bitch.
I spoke with Teresa.
I specifically mentioned this site.
Then she puts a lock across the gate.
What does that say about your pull
with the superintendent?
For all we know,
you're the reason she's clamping down.
You know something I don't?
Plenty.
Well, then why don't you...
Let's stay on topic.
You told me you helped her get the job
because you could control her.
This your idea of control?
Put your house in order.
Don't you threaten me, Hugh.
It's not productive, and it's not polite.
Hey, you're used to being the man
who gives orders.
But when you're dealing with me,
it's about leverage.
Who needs the other guy more?
Who's got more to lose?
You understand?
So I'm telling you,
it's your job to fix it.
Right now,
it's your only job.
Because if I wake up one day
and decide I don't need you,
that changes everything.
You and I,
we have different priorities, and that's fine.
But we also have a lot in common.
How's that?
You work with heavy hitters.
You carry a lot of responsibility.
You think?
Mr. Hampton,
you're Teresa Colvin's
chief of staff.
I respect Teresa.
But...
She's got her favorites.
Just like anyone, I guess.
I get the feeling you're not one of them.
And neither are you, as a matter of fact.
Yeah, I get that feeling, too.
What?
Ah, please, please.
Cuban.
Nice.
Do you mind if I get to it?
No.
You want to know what Teresa's next move is
on the Dansworth construction project?
Maybe we can discuss what I want
and what I'm willing to do.
I am listening.
I'd need a monthly stipend.
Off the books, of course, and in cash.
And in return,
I'll keep you one step ahead of the superintendent.
And when she's gone,
you put me up for the super job.
Do you have a number in mind
for these services you're intending on providing?
Mr. Hampton,
I can't tell you how happy I am you stopped by.
With your sister recovering from her surgery,
we thought maybe you could answer some questions for us.
Yeah, of course.
Do you know who this gentleman is?
No, I've never seen him.
Is he the one who shot her?
Yeah, Samuel Robbins.
They went to high school together.
Same year.
I don't recognize him.
They couldn't have been friends.
No, they sat in the same classes.
A couple of the same committees.
The yearbook committee, was it?
Your sister's been having some financial problems.
Is that right?
She lost her house.
Half the people in this neighborhood lost houses.
Wait, no, Ethel's doing good.
She lives with us, she works her butt off.
She's in that hospital fighting for her life,
and what are you trying to tell me?
That she's a bank robber?
Why'd he shoot her then?
Robbins robbed the bank with another man,
shot him and killed him right afterwards.
Did you speak with Ethel yesterday?
We were set to celebrate my daughter's birthday
and she got called into work.
That's what she told you.
What do you mean, told me?
Ethel didn't work yesterday.
We spoke to the bank manager.
No, I was right here.
The phone rang and it was someone from the bank.
What, that phone?
Alderman.
Lieutenant, where is he?
He's inside.
He says he only wants to talk to you.
Anybody else know about this?
It's just me and my man.
Give us some privacy for a moment, John.
I just got the call.
What the hell happened here?
They arrested me.
For what?
They found child pornography in my garage.
What?
It's not mine.
Whose is it then?
They planted it to frame me.
Who?
Superintendent Colvin or someone working for her.
They can't get me by playing it straight,
so she sets me up.
Thinks she can squeeze me into giving up your name.
I'm not buying that.
Can you get me out of this?
Probably, but what good will that do
if we don't figure out who did this to you?
You think it was someone in my crew?
No.
You keep all those fellas in line, right?
Yeah, but who then?
It's got to be somebody else close to you.
Well, there is no one.
No, think, you think.
Somebody else really close to you.
I mean, really, really, really close to you.
You did this to me.
Lieutenant Kelly.
First mandatory sentence for
possessing a child pornography.
It's a minimum of eight years,
but there's a lot of nasty stuff in here.
You know, jury sees that and...
Son of a bitch.
And how do kiddy lovers tend to get treated
in prison, Lieutenant Kelly?
Not well, really. I would say not well.
You. Both of you.
You think you're doing this to me?
What I think is that you're in a lot of trouble, Hugh.
And I'm asking you, would you like my help?
I'm going to end you.
Well, you're getting mad.
Just take your lesson to heart.
My lesson?
About leverage. You're about to hold me to it more.
Now, would you like my help, Hugh?
Or should I have Lieutenant Kelly here making arrest?
I'd like your help.
Say it like you mean it, Hugh.
I would like your help.
Because I really want to give it to you.
But understand,
Lieutenant Kelly and his friends
are going to hold on to that evidence
in case the relationship
between you and I should deteriorate.
Or if something,
anything,
should happen to me or my loved ones when I meet.
Am I understood?
Completely.
Very good.
Lieutenant Kelly,
let's get rid of all that pornographic garbage,
put everything back where we found it,
and let Mr. Killen here get back to his evening.
Yes, sir.
Hugh, nice house.
We got an address on the shooter.
We're heading in now.
Hey, Will, you getting any updates on our friendly Alderman?
Not yet.
At least now we know who we're dealing with.
It's just a matter of time before everyone else knows, too.
Stay safe.
I will do.
I was watching this stuff that night.
It was very, very, very close.
We'll get them internationals.
Alderman.
Teresa.
I'm sorry we didn't give you more warning.
I'm here on a matter that's important.
This is Assistant U.S. Attorney Desmond Harris.
Good to meet you.
Go into my office.
Teresa,
this should probably be a private meeting,
just the three of us.
Well, Bill is my chief of staff.
Anything that we have to...
For the purpose of this conversation,
Mr. Hampton should not be present.
What's going on?
Bill, would you excuse us, please?
So, what's this about?
Well, given some of the conversations
you and I have had recently,
there's something you should hear
before I have to speak to the press.
There's corruption inside your administration.
What kind of corruption?
Play the tape.
Construction project.
Maybe we can discuss what I want.
Who is that?
William Hampton, your chief of staff.
I'd need a monthly stipend in cash.
In return, I'll keep you one step ahead
of the superintendent.
And when she's gone,
you put me up for the super job.
Given how serious this is, Teresa,
the chief of staff soliciting a bribe,
you understand my obligation to go public.
You look good.
New fashion state.
Detective.
Sergeant.
What's our status?
Fill him in, Evers.
We checked the phone history,
and the call to our wounded bank guard
came from apartment 4D in this building.
It's registered to an old lady.
She's just renting the place out.
Does not live on the premises.
Okay, is anyone in there?
No idea. We're gonna take the lead.
You two are gonna follow.
Moose, Sanchez, you cover the back.
Is that good with you?
Yeah.
All right, let's do it.
My grandma.
You gonna yell police?
He just did.
Police!
Clear.
Clear the back door open.
Moose, you see anything out there?
We got shots fired.
I will not, and I will not stay quiet
in the face of such a blatant betrayal
of my constituents.
That this corruption
took place in the office
of the police superintendent of this city
at the highest level
makes this an outrage and a violation
that needs to be addressed.
And let me say,
on behalf of the people of Chicago,
we will not stand for this.
I'm fine.
On the bright side of this,
mandatory days off.
Officer-involved shooting.
Yeah, right after the paperwork
and the prostate exam.
Saki, a couple things to say.
Obviously, thanks
for keeping that clown
from putting a few extra holes in me.
You know, when I told the guys
to freeze you out for a couple days,
I never meant to put you in danger.
It was stupid,
I was way out of line,
and I'm sorry.
So are we cool?
Did I kill a man?
Because you're what, you're playing games?
Get off of me!
Roger, this is Detective Wastaki.
Saki, this is Lieutenant Kelly,
my new chief of staff.
Heard a lot about you, man.
Congrats on the job.
Wish I got it under different circumstances,
but I guess I shouldn't complain.
While I have you both here,
there's something that I wanted to say.
It's about Ronan Gibbons.
Yeah, I saw the press conference.
I was convinced
that Gibbons was guilty of any number of crimes,
and I tried everything I could to prove it,
without any success.
Now, I'm embarrassed that it's taken me this long
to see it,
but while I might not like the way he operates,
he's not breaking any laws.
So from here on out,
the witch hunt is over.
All right, we're just gonna focus
on protecting this city
from the real criminals.
Now, does anyone have a problem with that?
Jarek.
No.
Good. All right, do you have that case file for me?
The, uh, which one?
Uh, you were gonna walk me through the case file.
Yes, right here.
Yeah, this'll just take a minute.
Sure, I look forward to working with you.
Absolutely. Good luck.
All right, so, uh,
you found out where the guy lives.
Why don't you trust him?
He was forced on me.
He's supposedly the mayor's choice,
and he spent five years on the force
working in Gibbons' ward.
Okay, so we gotta be careful what we say over in headquarters.
Yeah, but on the bright side,
he doesn't know that we're onto him,
so we can funnel any intel we want to Gibbons.
We're still exactly taking Gibbons on head-to-head.
Well, I don't mind sucker-punching Gibbons
as long as it knocks him out.
Carry on, Detective.
Okay, boss.
