01x15 - A Beautiful Friendship

Post by bunniefuu »

I figured out a way to make you worth my time.

25%.

Everything that you take off the street.

It doesn't look like I have a choice.

We got him.

[muffled scream]

I don't want that on my conscience.

[groans]

You can't do this.

The kid's right, man, not tonight.

I'm not a home wrecker.

What happened never happened.

Congratulations, Atwater. You just made Intelligence.

Can I ask why?

You didn't make the cut?

I don't tolerate in-house romance.

Listen, you've got a son, Charlie, with Annie.

The deal was I take you in, he stays out of Illinois.

I will handle it.

I got flushed down the toilet, so you could play cop.

You owe me.

Sure.

Good answer.

[child screams]

You had every opportunity to reach out to me.

Every opportunity, you shut me out!

Stop!

Erin!

She's fine!

She's fine.

Are you okay?

Yes.

You're gonna wish you'd stayed out of Chicago, Charlie.

No, what you're gonna wish is that I'd forgotten all about Sandoval.

But I haven't, have I?

You want to take me in? Let's go.

I'm happy to tell everyone what happened, not five streets from here, if I recall.

Or, hey, I got an idea.

Instead of the past, why don't we focus on the future?

Sure.

What do you want? How much?

More than you can afford on a cop's salary.

I'm gonna need the old Lindsay for this one.

[chuckles] You're out of your mind.

Really? You know, I played nice guy before and kept my mouth shut for you two.

What did it get me?

12 years wandering the wilderness while you got to play cop and you raised my son!

Don't touch her!

Nah, not this time.

I'm getting my payday, or I run my mouth.

I need that today.

[door opens, closes]

Please, Erin.

Annie...

Erin, please...

Whatever he needs, just...

[crying] Just give it to him.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

Hank.

You get paid when I get paid.

I'm supposed to wait around, take your word for it?

That's right.

You try and screw me...

You already told me already.

You got bear traps set up. Well, so do I.

What's it called... mutually assured destruction?

How about we avoid all that?

You just relax and wait for your cut.

Yeah.

Uh-huh.

Hey. Good morning.

Yeah. Morning.

Atwater, hey.

Hey.

Good morning.

Here, man, take Sumner's desk.

What's up, man?

What's up, bro?

Don't get used it to it, though.

We don't seem to stay in them for very long.

How is Burgess taking it?

Taking what?

You know, you getting promoted up here, when perhaps...

She deserves it a little bit more.

Oh, that.

Well, she's been assigned a new partner.

There he is.

[applause and whistling]

Hey, man, what the hell you doing back so soon, huh?

Oh, guys. You sound like my wife.

Listen, we got you a little "welcome back/glad you're not dead" gift.

Don't say we didn't ever do anything for you.

[chuckles] Oh.

Oh. That's hilarious.

Come here, a little closer.

His idea.

Oh, you want some of this?

Yeah?

Come on.

It was my idea.

I didn't think so.

[groans]

You okay?

All right, we're rolling out... five minutes.

We just caught a heater.

Glad you're back, bro.

Thanks.

Hey, do me a favor.

Just work the desk for a few days.

I don't want you dropping on me.

I'm fine. I'm suiting up.

Antonio, I'm not gonna argue with you about this.

All right.

They had a plan.

They took out all the security cameras in the area.

Jin checked the pods. There's nothing there.

They're missing 100 pounds of aluminized water-gel expl*sives.

Water gels?

It's for mining and tunneling.

Companies use it for blasting bedrock.

Yeah, that's a lot of expl*sives, like take-down-a-building big.

We've had enough of that around here.

They're also missing a security guard, boss.

All right, I want a list of all the demo-company employees and whoever signed for the materials here.

Anyone who knew water-gel expl*sives were gonna be on site.

Over here!

What's this?

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

All right, anyone who's been here in the last month, I want their name.

Got to go.

Hey, Jin.

Good morning, Erin.

I need a favor...

Off the books.

Isn't it always?

Do you have access to the city planning and zoning commission?

Uh... as in?

Blueprints.

Yes.

Without anybody knowing.

Hey, yo.

Your wife called.

Wants to know about dinner.

Ruzek, your fridge is getting delivered on Thursday.

Ah, finally.

Between 9:00 and 12:00 or 3:00 and 6:00?

Did they say?

Never mind.

Hey, Sarge.

Why don't we have a civilian aide up here taking calls?

It's in the budget.

It's all about who you can trust, Antonio.

What do you got?

I'm waiting on a list of employees from that construction site.

So far, no one's popped.

And you said they didn't get any blasting caps or detonation cords?

No.

You're gonna need those.

All right, det cords and caps... that's our angle for now.

I got a C.I. I can talk to about that.

All right.

Yo, Sarge.

Yeah?

You know, I grew up in Harvey, right there near the construction site.

That's Two-Eights territory.

Nothing goes down there without their permission.

I know a guy.

I think I can lean on him a little bit, see what he knows.

Olinsky...

Go with him.

Actually, I think I'm gonna do this by myself, O.

Oh, hey, everyone, Atwater's been in the unit two minutes, and already he's put himself in charge.

[applause]

Hey.

Congrats, bud.

I knew you were management material.

Oh, no, no, that's not what I was trying to say.

What were you saying?

It's just...

Oh, you're worried about your white-cop partner blowing the deal?

Yeah.

Maybe after 20 years working undercover, I know how not to get made...

Anywhere in the city.

My bad.

Antonio, I need a solid.

Yeah, sure.

All right.

You remember Nadia?

She helped us out back with Muñoz and Burgess.

Nadia? Oh, yeah, yeah, I remember Nadia.

Okay. She's getting out of rehab today.

I'm supposed to pick her up.

Please don't tell me you're gonna ask me to...

Dude, I'm serious.

Not today. I need some help.

No sweat. What's the address?

Thank you.

Just keep her up here, all right?

I don't want her going anywhere until I can take her home after shift.

[inhales sharply] Copy that.

[shivering loudly] It's cold.

What's up, Halstead?

Hey.

Who's your friend?

Ruzek.

Ruzek, Mouse.

Both: What's up, man?

Have some fries.

Hey, listen...

Can you tell me anything about this construction-site robbery in Harvey?

I might be tapped in on that.

Yeah?

It's my ears, man.

They get so waxy these days.

Oh, yeah, so waxy these days, yeah... his ears, yeah.

Yeah. Ding-ding.

Clear as a bell, just like that.

Just like that.

There's lots of talk.

There's this new player in town. He's looking for some bangers.

I'm kind of serving as a consultant.

Can you get us a meeting?

Tell him we're offering blasting caps and det cord.

What, straight up?

Yeah, straight up.

All you're doing is organizing a meet.

All right.

Drive toward Erie and Sedgwick.

Right on, man.

I'll set it up.

[laughs] Oh.

Commander At-At.

What's good, son?

Straight and narrow. You know me.

Yeah. Well, you always were.

You always were.

So what's up, man?

If only you could sh**t free throws straight.

Come on, man, I kept people out the paint, didn't I?

Nobody told me I had to score too.

[laughs] True.

What's up, man? Where the uniform at?

I'm on to big and better things now.

Special unit.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Well, look at you.

Look at you.

You know it.

So what's up, man?

You know I got the hookup over there at the convention center.

I can get you and the crew wholesale electronics right after the big C.E. Show.

I'm talking about Wii's, PlayStation's, everything you like, all on the up-and-up.

Yeah?

I'm listening. What's up?

Just need you to introduce me to Copeland Briggs.

[chuckles]

No way, man.

Come on, dog.

You're like my brother, man.

[grunts, chuckles] We are.

But listen, man, let me tell you something.

If you think for one second that a couple wholesale Wii's is gonna get your jolly green giant-looking ass into Copeland Briggs, you got another thing coming, brother.

[chuckles]

Yeah, what's that?

You sit me down next to Briggs, you always got that number next time you get pinched.

You know how much that's worth.

[door closes]

Hey.

As requested.

Nobody knows about this?

Nope.

Not even you?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Delaney, I'm glad Platt partnered us up.

I've been looking forward to working with an experienced officer.

My name's Burgess.

Yeah, well, I'm gonna park it right here.

Do you see something?

Are we onto something?

I'm just gonna rest my eyes for a minute.

[sighs]

[snoring lightly]

[camera shutter clicks]

[cell phone chimes]

[chuckles]

What is it?

Uh, Burgess.

She got a sleeping beauty.

Burgess, huh?

Just get your head in the game.

Okay, pards.

[knock at door]

How well you know these guys, Mouse?

I don't know. How well does anybody know anybody, you know?

That's not that helpful.

What do we got?

You're looking for some stuff I can get for you.

Stuff?

Like what exactly?

Blasting caps, det cord.

Why would I need something like that?

Hey, what you do with it is your business, right?

Really, Detective?

Would it be my business?

Detective?

What are you talking about, Charlie?

Shut up, Mouse.

We met at the station with Erin Lindsay, or did you forget?

No, I definitely wouldn't forget something like that.

Is there anything you want to tell us, Charlie?

Nope. I'm super cool, man.

Tell Erin I said hey, though.

Back in the day, she was, mm, something.

[chuckles]

What the hell was that?

Just like he said... I met him with Lindsay.

I'm so made, man.

Relax.

Mouse, I got you on this.

Okay, what's our next play here?

I don't know yet.

Uh-huh. I heard what the doctor said.

Yes, this is me healing up, doing my job and not staring at the ceiling... two things I love to do.

This is stressful.

Arguing with you right now is stressful.

Baby?

Hey, Nadia.

Antonio Dawson... I work with Erin.

Yeah, I remember.

Well, she's very sorry, but a case jumped off, so I'm supposed to bring you back to the District.

It's cool. I'll take the bus.

Are you kidding me right now?

Come on.

I mean, it's a little weird.

You know, Lindsay's supposed to be picking me up.

She dodges my texts.

Now a cop shows up and wants me to get in his car.

What address is that?

The clinic, here.

Is that a man's handwriting or a woman's?

Woman's.

Right.

Will you please get in the car?

Yeah.

Sorry I yelled at you.

[laughs]

Thank you.

It's my wife.

[over radio] 21-13, we got a panic alarm tripped at 601 West Adams.

21-13 we got a panic alarm tripped, 601 West Adams.

Do you copy?


21-13, 10-4, en route!

Panic alarm sounded, 601 West Adams.

Honey, I don't know your name.

I don't want to know your name.

But after today, we're through.

Oh, you're damn right we are.

This is far too important. We have to pursue this.

Yeah, well, sit tight until I give the word.

Whoa. Hey. Hey.

You can't talk to me like I just joined the unit, man.

I put my vest on every day.

I get my knuckles dirty every day just like you.

Come on.

No, right.

You're right.

I'll talk to Erin.

Okay.

[clears throat]

Charlie Pugliese, or however you say his frickin' name... do you know what he's into?

Why?

I just had a C.I. sit me down in front of him.

He's involved in the construction-site hit.

Uh...

What do you need here, Erin?

I can handle it.

Really?

How?

When? Voight's upstairs.

He's waiting for an update.

Just stall.

I just need to move a couple things around.

What does this guy have on you?

It's bad.

What's Voight always say?

Tell him the truth so he can lie for you.

No, if I tell the truth on this one, I'm done.

Do you understand?

There's a dead security guard that they left behind a dumpster like a bag of trash.

Oh, man.

I was telling Friedman.

He hit the alarm. He said, "No, I didn't."

I said, "I'll bet you a Pizano's deep dish you did."

Well, he's gonna be paying now.

So false alarm.

Yeah.

Sorry. They really got to move that alarm button.

It's right at knee level.

Well, as long as we're here, I'll take a beef and sausage combo.

21-13 reporting a robbery in progress, 601 West Adams, requesting immediate backup.

What are you doing?

As we were coming out, I saw the security camera lens had been freshly sprayed with black paint.

I also saw the cash drawer was open, no tray.

[groans]

[door opens, bell jingles]
Show me your hands.

My name is Burgess, by the way.

Feel free to forget it.

The kid here set up an appointment with Copeland Briggs.

Let me get this straight.

You talked to a guy in order to talk to a guy?

Sarge, Copeland Briggs... he comes to you, not the other way around.

It's true. It was worth a trip.

All right, so what's Briggs gonna give us?

Word I got is he provided a little off-the-book security to the construction site.

Briggs'll know who's involved in that robbery, for a fact.

[cell phone chimes]

Yeah, go ahead.

What about Halstead's C.I.?

Snake eyes.

Took you guys four hours to roll that?

It was a big runaround, boss. You know how it is.

I guess I'm beginning to.

Jin...

What do you got?

I got ears in Voight's office, like you wanted.

You don't say?

It's Lindsay.

She was sniffing around for some blueprints to a jewelry mart.

I don't know what it is, but, well, that's something, right?

I need details.

Your father and his gambling problems need details.

I know.

I know.

I don't want immigration involved with your old man, but without details, what choice do I have?

Let's go for a ride.

Keep driving.

Turn.

I don't know what you think I might've said or done.

Pull over up here.

Something you want to tell me?

Look, obviously something happened...

You told Platt you were updating the computer in my office.

It hasn't been updated.

Then you meet with Internal Affairs.

[sobs]

They busted up an underground casino that my Dad owes money to.

Stillwell's been using it against me.

Everybody gets squeezed, Jin.

[shouts]

You violated my number-one rule.

Who do you work for?

You.

You.

[whistles]

Hey.

Oh. [laughs]

Oh.

Come on.

Thank you.

Hey. Your wife called.

[sighs]

So the next step would be finding a job, a real job...

One that I'm proud of.

Do you have any leads?

Well, nothing in stone.

But there's this woman that helps out at the clinic.

She said she'd introduce me to her daughter, who runs some sort of clothing store or something.

I don't know. I need to work on that one.

It's all good.

Listen, Nadia, don't break my heart again.

I won't.

I promise.

All right.

Uh, you're gonna stay up here till I'm off, all right?

It might be a while, but you can stay with me till you get settled.

Okay.

Okay.

[door closes]

Is everything all right?

Uh, no...

Not by a long sh*t.

Charlie Pugliese.

What now?

Back then, I was a mess.

You know.

I thought that I loved him.

Erin...

You were 16.

He was 25.

He got you hooked on dope.

Yeah. I don't deny any of that.

But Dad had been locked up forever, and when my Mom stopped coming home at all, Charlie kept the heat on.

He kept food on the table.

I was loyal to him.

And if that's a fault of mine, then so be it.

But, um...

My best friend, Annie... she was mixed up with Charlie too, and...

And she got pulled into some stuff...

Way worse than me and, um...

Hey.

You're gonna be okay.

Just tell me what's going on.

He's got us boxed in real bad...

Me and Annie both.

Well, I'll need a couple clean-cut white guys.

Got any white guys around?

I'm 1/16 cherokee. Does that disqualify me?

Nah, you're good.

What's the play?

Kid's got a sit-down with Copeland Briggs, gonna run a game on him, see what he knows about the robbery.

Hit it.

What do you got, bro?

These are records of anyone with expl*sives training who recently got out of jail.

I'm looking for any mentions of water gels or det cords in their arrest records.

All right, keep looking.

What do you think I'm doing?

[sighs]

It's Laura.

She nearly flipped when I told her I was coming back to work.

What does she expect you to do?

She wants me to move out to Crystal Lake near her sister, Barney Fife it out there.

Well, she's been through a lot.

I mean, your whole family has.

I know.

But...

I hear you.

Mm.

I met your Detective friend.

He had a look in his eye when I said your name.

I seen that look in your boys' eyes before.

Don't.

Here's your blueprints.

I need one more thing.

Go to hell.

Just call in a sh**t at the Hancock at midnight.

That should get a lot of attention, eh?

Almost there, Erin... 5-yard line.

That's my girl.

[indistinct chatter]

All right, players, listen up.

You two are Northwestern kids.

You sell 100 pounds of weed every month all over the big ten.

Of which there are 12 schools. Somebody explain that one.

Let's just do this.

Exactly.

I'm gonna tell Briggs in return for the info on you guys, all I want to know is what he knows about the construction robbery, you feel me?

They feel you. I'll wait outside.

No doubt.

Let's do it.

What's up, dog?

What's going on?

Where's Copeland Briggs?

Got some stone-cold wildcats right here.

Yeah.

Hey, well, I don't...

I think I changed my mind about this deal.

Now.

[sighs]

What's up, Briggs?

Who is you? Who is this?

Here to make you rich, boy.

I'm rich already, homey, in ways you don't even know.

What's up?

Hold on. Wait a minute.

Now, see, these are my homeys, right?

Now, these are a couple of...

Cops.

We're all cops.

I think you're in my chair. Why don't you hop up?

We'd like to know about the construction-site robbery.

And?

What's in it for me?

Nothing.

So how about we let the school around the corner get out, let all the kids file by, and they can see the cops just kicking it with Copeland Briggs.

Maybe later, we'll get a 12-pack, bring it by your place, let everybody know that you're a C.I., at best.

Or you just tell us what we want right now, and we'll be out of here in 30 seconds.

Look, man...

Dude named Red Radner stopped by here.

Dropped a bunch of bread off for us to watch the gate at the construction site while a bunch of white boys went in there and robbed the place.

Now, I heard g*nshots, but I ain't know nobody got k*lled.

That's all I know.

Atwater, sometimes the badge is mightier than the B.S.

Kevin "Red" Radner.

He's wanted in New York, Indiana, and Illinois for m*rder, armed robbery, and trafficking.

dr*gs or...

Girls.

b*at a r*pe charge too.

We like him for pulling the strings on that construction-site robbery.

He's in the wind, but he's had a lot of prior dealings with this guy, Charlie Pugliese.

We have every reason to believe Pugliese was part of Red's crew.

Tip from a C.I. came in, said Pugliese's planning on using the expl*sives stolen from that site to knock off this jewelry exchange on North Lawndale.

We're moving out.

Can't avoid this.

I know.

All right, be ready.

All right, that's it. Move in.

[engine revs]

Hands up. Keep them up.

Don't move!

Freeze!

Put your hands up! Get 'em up!

Turn around, get them hands up!

Don't move.

Don't look at me. Look away.

Keep 'em high!

Yeah, yeah, look away.

Anything in the trunk that could hurt me?

No.

I don't hear you.

No.

expl*sives in the car.

I'd like to report a m*rder from October 12, 2002.

Victim's name was Ricky Sandoval.

I have all the information... who k*lled him and who helped get rid of the body.

Put him in the car.

[door closes]

Anything from the other two?

Lawyered up.

All right, everybody clear out.

Hang on. I want to talk to him first.

Then you can do whatever you want.

[sighs]

You wanted to go by the book, Erin.

Well, here we are.

You know what Sandoval was doing to Annie.

You know why she snapped.

It's too late for all that.

I gave you a chance to keep it buried.

You want to go public about everything, fine.

But just so you know, I'm gonna say I k*lled Sandoval... keep Annie and Travis together.

Wow. You really are a cop, aren't you?

Bluffing your ass off.

Try me.

You let Voight run me out of town with nothing.

Nothing!

You were headed for the bottom of the lake.

I begged for your life.

Do something with it, for once.

Give us Radner, cooperate fully, and you're out in a year.

Clean yourself up on the inside, become a man, and then maybe you can be a dad to your son.

Or give a statement on Sandoval.

And then you and me... we can go down the tubes together.

It's up to you.

I didn't k*ll that guard.

Red did.

Where is he now?

He's waiting for his cut of the heist.

He was gonna call me.

But he ain't calling now.

Where does he flop?

Does he have a girl in town?

I heard one of the guys say he worked out of a warehouse in B.Y.

Never heard of that area before.

A lot's changed in 12 years, I guess.

[computer mouse clicking]

B.Y... I've never heard of it before.

I don't think anyone has.

[clears throat]

Hey, you know, at my old job, sometimes we'd get called to this area behind the stockyards.

Guys liked to park there 'cause it was quiet at night.

Back of the yards was B.Y.

Let's go.

Hey, Burgess.

Sergeant.

How do you like working with Delaney?

He's soft.

And you yourself, you once told me that you have no tolerance for soft cops.

You know what? I don't either.

I want someone like Atwater, someone who isn't afraid to mix it up.

Otherwise, what the hell am I doing this for?

You're right. He's a dog ass.

When you got passed over for Intelligence, I thought for sure you'd crumble like a chocolate-chip cookie.

So tomorrow I'll put you with Gogan.

He's only a few years on the job, but he's good police.

Thank you, Sergeant.

I'll just deny every word of this conversation.

Of course.

Hey.

Hey.

I heard you had a good bust.

Yeah, well, thanks to you, I get to keep proving myself as a uniform.

[chuckles] I guess I had that coming.

I'll see you later.

It's pretty secure... metal doors, boards on the windows...

Pretty usual.

This is definitely the place.

Guy just pulled in a van, put eyes on me.

Did he make you as police?

I can't tell.

All right, keep eyes on the place.

[g*nf*re]

Yeah, I'd say I'm made!

[g*nf*re continues]

[g*nf*re]

10-1!

Multiple sh*ts fired at the police!

We are taking heavy fire!

Need immediate backup!

Requesting S.W.A.T.!

Van!

Van!

[tires squealing]

[horn blares]

Go, go, go! Get alongside!

Clear! I can't clear!

Cover back.

Don't move! Show me your hands.

g*n! I got a g*n!

[g*nsh*t]

Squared away?

Yeah.

Paperwork up the yin-yang, but I'm toast for today.

Thank you...

For everything.

That's why you have backup.

Yeah, I guess so.

[sighs]

Hank.

There's a lot of ways this relationship can go.

I figure this is the easiest.

It's $5,000.

It's 10% of what I just took off the street... totally untraceable.

[sighs]

[cell phone vibrating]

Dad.

I need you to pack up everything you have, okay?

And get out of Chicago.

Go now, Dad. Go.

I'll call you. Bye.

[knock at door]

Adam.

Hey.

Hey.

I, um...

I came here to apologize to you.

Okay.

So, uh, I'm sorry.

You're a really good cop, and you are gonna get your sh*t again soon.

You came all the way here just to tell me that.

I like you.

I know you know that.

And I miss you.

He's the only good thing I've ever done.

That's not true.

You know what I mean.

You're a good mom.

Let's leave it at that.

I don't even know what I would have done if he was taken away from me.

You don't have to think about that now.

So...

Charlie...

Confessed.

He'll probably get a little rhythm for cooperating.

Annie, I'm sorry.

I should've never let Charlie back in.

People don't change.

You did.

Hey, guys.

Dad's home.

Laura?

Guys?

Sheldon Jin.

I believe he worked in your unit.

Yeah, that's right.
