None of this is on you.

I think you are a very good man, Kevin.

Okay, that's it.

You're all set.

- That's it?

It's all yours.

Your very own tenant property.

Yeah? Why you say that?

"If I could say it in words,

Present to celebrate

Who painted it?

My student, Bobby.

He usually does these giant murals,

but, um, I asked him to do something

a little smaller,

and this is what he came up with.

I mean, he just might as well
make one out of this.

Huh?

Do a mural on my building.

It's a vacant lot in Humboldt.

We got two Tact teams
sitting on it right now,

but there's no sign of Jimmy,
there's no sign of a gray Kia.

Phone's off, but we did manage to track

this much down.

Jimmy bought his phone
from a -hour store

in Burnside.

Since then, it's pinged
in two different locations.

One on the far South Side
and one in Pilsen.

Hideout, place to stash cash?

Yeah, that's what we're thinking.

Start getting warrants typed up.

What about cameras?

Working them right now, Sarge.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Just got off the phone with Med.

Nando just made it out of surgery.

Kid's gonna pull through.

We think Jimmy's
gonna visit his brother?

Yeah, there's a big chance he will.

So get some Tact guys
sitting over at Med.

Uh, listen up. CPIC's got your man Jimmy

on one camera.

He sped through a red light

at the intersection
of Hamlin and Chicago

just ten minutes ago.

That's northwest Humboldt Park.

- Thanks, Sarge.
- Let's move on it.

Pulaski's clear, headed to Springfield.

I'm empty on Monticello.

We got nothing on Avers.

♪

I got a Kia with the plates torn off

on Springfield and Thomas, but no Jimmy.

Copy you, Kev. We'll head your way.

Hey.

I got Tovar's car
at an abandoned property

right to the east
of Jimmy's stolen vehicle.

I'm going dark.

Jimmy, put it down.

He k*lled my brother.

Mm-mm.

You lied to me, Kev.

Jimmy, I need you to put that down.

I spoke to my brother's girl.

This son of a bitch sh*t him, right?

Yes, he did, Jimmy,
but he didn't k*ll him.

All right? I told you the truth.

Nando's at Chicago Med right now.

We found him in time.

sh**t him!

Hey, listen, eyes on me.

Listen, Jimmy, I just want
everybody to walk out of here.

Just put the g*n down, and let's go.

He told me what he did.

And he came looking for me.

But I found him, didn't I?

I'm not stupid.
I heard about the bounty.

Yeah, then he came for
my little brother instead, huh?

I felt your little brother's pulse.

- Myself. He's okay.
- No.

No, you don't get to lie to me again.

Put the g*n down,
'cause you don't want to do this.

You're gonna ruin your life, man.

Ruin my life?

- You ruined my life.
- Mm-mm.

No, Jimmy, just put it down.

Then everything is gonna be fine.

Trust me. Okay?

I'm gonna make sure of that.

Why should I trust you now?

Look, okay? Look. You see that?

I'm done. I'm doing it.

I'm done.

I ain't gonna lie to you no more.

I'm gonna tell you the truth right now,

you're going to jail, Jimmy.

But it don't gotta be for this!

Not for m*rder.

I'm not lying to you when I tell you

that I can make this straight.

I can make all of this go away.
All of it.

- All right.
- Turn around.

Why, Jimmy? What'd I tell you, man?

You didn't have to do none of this, man.

You didn't have to!

You didn't have to run.

You didn't have to do any of it.

I was gonna help you.

So help me then.

It was self-defense, right?

- What?

and so I sh*t him.

Please.

Kev, anybody else in here?

Nah, we good.

One more lie. One more, please.

Come on.

You good?

Yeah.

Listen, about Celeste...

You gotta be honest with her, man.

I know I don't have to say it, but...

No, you don't.

And I know. I know what I gotta do.

Good.

Hey.

So Jimmy's saying it's self-defense.

Said he came here
to pay Tovar his cash back,

and Tovar tried to k*ll him.

When you showed up,
he was about to sh**t.

Jimmy had no choice
but to sh**t him first.

The stolen cash is in the Kia.

Jimmy came down here to k*ll Tovar.

sh*t him point-blank range
right in front of me.

It was m*rder. That's the truth.

Mm.

Okay, so I tried a new recipe,

Do you want a beer?

No, I'm okay.

We gotta talk.

Okay. What?

No.

I should have told you. A long time ago.

I don't understand.

Why the hell would you do that?

Celeste, you hate cops.

I hate the police system.

That doesn't mean that I hate
