01x08 - Fueling Fires

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on APB...

The Reeves TK421.

If you have an oil
fire, it can do this.

Give me the 13th
district to run.

I will upgrade the 13th

to the best technology
money can buy.

I'm here to make it
possible with this.

It allows citizens to call in

GPS located crime reports.

You know those people you're
trying to serve and protect?

They just became your partners.

You are bleeding money with
this new little cop hobby.

We are here to drum
up new business

- and increase revenue, period.
- Please.

Remember the strategic
partnership with MilliScan?

Those boring gray
boxes find g*ns.

We could own
privatized policing.

I mean, this is not some
small Chicago experiment.

I mean, this could go global.

This could be a billion
dollar business.

Every 15 seconds,

an American home is broken into.

But with the innovations
of Reeves Security,

you don't need to live
or work in fear anymore.

For both residential
and corporate clients,

Reeves Security is always there,

keeping you safe no
matter where you go.

And now, for the
first time ever,

Reeves Security is
allowing subscribers

to select their own
levels of protection,

working directly with police

to customize patrols
in your area.

Whether you need them

or you just need peace of mind.

So, what do you think?

Do they all have
to smile so much?

Oh, Gideon,

this is everything
that we talked about.

No, no, no, it's everything
that you talked about.

Ah, the subscribers

and levels of protection?

You can't make people
pay to call the police.

All right, can we
just skip this part?

We don't have time for it.

You have your annual shareholders
meeting in two days.

So? I know the drill.

I go in and I give one
of my classic speeches,

shake a few hands, see
everybody next year.

No, no, this is not
of your TED Talks,

where you can just "Gideon"
your way through it.

You have to release your
quarterly statements.

So, you can either show a
$400 million write-down,

or a billion dollar...

new business.

It's just...

when I started all
this, I thought

I was making the world a
better place for everybody,

not just rich people like me.

Well, I knew you when
you were just a scared,

scrawny little freshman at MIT.

Everyone knew that
you were smart,

but I knew that there was
more to you than just that.

Gideon, this...

this is the fix to our problem.

One second.

They need me at a crime scene.
It sounds urgent.

Yeah, sounds familiar.

Will you promise me that
you will think about it?

If you promise to wear that...

that thing with the
leather and the straps.

Yeah, make it happen,

and you can have
anything you want.

Thank you for coming down, Mr.
Reeves.

Hate to bother you, I know you
had a big meeting today, but...

No, no, no.

We got a real nasty
situation here.

I need you to get on the
horn with the mayor,

see if you can get him to shut
down the streets of the 13th.

Oh, time for a block party or...

I wish. We need
to impose curfew.

Well, not that I don't enjoy
talking to the mayor,

but wha... why am I talking
to the mayor, exactly?

Aren't fires the fire
department's problem?

It's not about the fire.
It's about the g*ng w*r.

See that guy in the red flannel?

That's Andre Coates,

leader of the Green
Street Kings,

one of the two biggest gangs
in the 13th district.

- Who's the other?
- 38th Street Hustlas.

They had a building torched
in their hood two weeks ago.

Couple of 'em still
in the hospital.

So, this is retaliation.

That body in the bag,
that's one of Andre's boys.

So, yeah, I'd say
that's a safe bet.

There's nothing safe
about this situation.

We need to get out
in front of it

before someone else
is hurt or k*lled.

Okay, but I... shutting
down the district?

I don't like it, either,

but we can't round up
every banger in a day.

And as hot as this
situation's getting,

one day might be all we have.

These boys are out for blood.
We need answers.

All right, let's get some.

- Gideon, we can't go in there.
- To look.

- Gideon...
- Just give me one second.

- Oh, yeah.
- This is an active scene.

We can't be here unless fire
gives us the all-clear.

Relax. Got what I need.

What's this?

It performs a chemical analysis,

telling us what was
used to start the fire.

Well, it's acetone
and petrolatum.

Basically nail polish remover
and petroleum jelly.

That's great.

Can we get the molarity of
the acetone before ignition?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Gideon, we're supposed
to figure out

how to stop the fires,
not start them.

That's exactly what we're doing.

- By doing a science project?
- Yes.

When the going gets tough,
the smart work backwards.

If we can identify
the accelerant,

we could use our cars
to sniff it out.

- Sniff it out?
- Well, each of the D13 Caddies

is equipped with a chemical
olfactory trace technology.

So, it can actually detect
minute measurements

of TATP and TPH in the air.

b*mb stuff, they
smell b*mb stuff.

We're gonna me 'em
smell fire stuff.

Can it sniff out a good
Cuban restaurant, too?

I'm gonna work on that.

Then he hit me here,
then he kicked me there,

and then he held me
down and hit me again,

here, here and here.

And this was before or after

your altercation on
the dance floor?

After, but I told you, that
was a misunderstanding.

- The bastard you should be arresting...
- The bouncer.

Yeah, you said that already.

I think we get the picture.

We'll look into it and let
you know what we find.

That's it?

You'll look into it?

I was assaulted and
I've been sitting here

all morning, telling
the same story.

Hey, I understand
that you're upset.

But see everybody
running around here?

There was a quadruple homicide
last night and right now...

I'd like a copy of that report.

We'll send it to you when
we finish writing it up.

Yeah. Officer DeVoll
here will show you out.

We'll be in touch.

Follow me, please, sir.

Hey.

What you doing?

Saving us time.

That crap about the report?

Kid's just looking
for a lawsuit.

What, you think he did
that to his own face?

No.

I think the guy he was
talking crap to did it,

but he was too drunk to I.D.
anyone,

so he's going after the bar.

Yeah, but he said the
bouncer att*cked him.

Yeah, and see, that's
my other problem.

I know the bouncer,
he's a friend of mine.

Guy named Vic Evans,
we served together.

And I'm not buying that
Vic couldn't handle

some entitled rich kid
with a big mouth.

Yeah, well, you can't just
throw out the report.

Might be nothing, but we
still got to check it out.

I'm sorry, I know you're
a genius and all,

but I don't like this.

What are you talking about?

I got half the guys in the
department driving around

looking for fires
and all we've found

is some guys stripping paint.

Yeah, technically,
that means it's...

it's working.

Yeah, but I can lower the
detection threshold a little bit.

I don't know anything about
detection threshold,

but we're running out of time.

I feel like we're one fire away

from the whole district
going up in flames.

It's a balance, okay? We
just need to calibrate it

until we come up with the exact
right combination of smells.

But an active g*ng
w*r is not the time

to be working out the kinks.

I know, just give it a chance.

I promise you're
gonna love this.

Ah, we got a hit.

Cobb and Reyes, on a residential
street, outside Canaryville.

All right, let's go.

Squad, we got any idea which
address it's coming from?

Not unless you can
drive your Caddy

into all those houses.

That's actually something
I should be working on.

Looks like we're knocking.

CPD!

Can I help you?

Sorry, wrong address.

CPD, open up.

Yeah?

Never mind. Sorry to bother you.

You smell that?

CPD!

CPD, open up!

- Squad, unless our firebug
- Manicure...

is also giving mani-pedis
without a permit,

I'd say this one is a miss, too.

All right, Murphy, that's
it, I'm calling it.

It's time to start
combing through the SSL,

see who comes up.

Copy, Squad.

Sorry, Gideon.

Captain, Captain!

One more, one more, one more.

Murph, we got one more.
You getting that reading?

It's pretty weak.

Well, check out the
building on the corner.

The chemical signature is a
little bit different this time.

Is that supposed
to mean something?

Uh, yeah, it might.

You want me to explain the science
or can I just let her check it out?

Last one.

Murphy, it's coming
from somewhere

in the south side of the street.

Okay, I'll take a look.

Hey, check this out.

That's the Green
Street Kings tag.

Make sure, Murphy.

I'm sick of false alarms.

Captain?

This is not a false alarm.

Fire! Everybody out, come on!

Everybody out!

Gideon, I need backup.

Fire, police, everything.

All right, who can
you get over there?

Cobb and Reyes, but
they're not that close.

Fire department's on the
way, three minutes out.

_

_

_

Señora...

Okay?

Grab me that towel.

Okay?

It's okay, come on, follow me.

What the hell?

Hey, Murphy, head left.

We got your back.

Come on, come on.
Let's go, let's go.

Gideon, I can't see. The
smoke is too thick.

Uh, can you... can you put a
digital filter on the body-cam?

Yeah, I can throw out
the visual spectrum

and I can turn on the IR.

Hug the right,
there's a hot spot

- on the left side of the hall.
- Okay.

Come on, stay against
the wall, okay?

Good, good, good.

Stay close.

You got it.

Move, move, move, move!

Move!

All right, I see a clearing.
Come on.

Follow me, okay?

Good, you got it. You got it.

Yes.

Mima!

You got her?

Good? All right.

Gracias, Adriana.

Hey.

Do you have anywhere to stay?

Do you have family around here?

No, they're all
back in Honduras.

I'll figure something out.

Why don't you stay with me?

No, I'll be fine. I'm just...

Argue with a police officer?

I got a guest room you can use

until you get back on your feet.

Come on.

- Vic.
- Brando.

What's your ugly mug doing
in here before 6:00, huh?

Hey, let's get this guy a
beer, he's a buddy of mine.

- As much as I'd love to...
- Okay.

Yeah. There's a little something

we got to clear up
about last night.

That happened here?

Yeah. You got a sec?

Of course. I mean,
not much to tell.

It was just a regular
day at the office.

Yeah, some college kid,
he came in this morning

with a busted-up face,
said he got att*cked

on his way out of here.

- By who?
- By you.

It's probably nothing,
but, uh, the kid,

he's talking a big game, like
he wants to sue or something.

We just need to hear
your side of the story.

You remember what happened?

Yeah, of course I do.

He's a frat boy, right?

Yeah.

He got rowdy on the dance floor.

He had tequila coming
out of his ears.

He stepped on some girl's toe,

got into it with her boyfriend.

So I had to show him the door.

I didn't att*ck anybody.

So you threw him out?

Yeah. You know, I end
up tossing, like,

three or four drunks a night.

But this... this guy can't
actually sue me, right?

Well, not if I got a say in it.

Do you have cameras
in this place?

- Anything out front, maybe?
- Yeah.

But troublemakers don't
go out the front door.

The owner doesn't want 'em
scaring away customers.

What about cameras out back?

They don't have any
cameras by the rear exit.

Mind if we take a look?

Sure thing. The gate's unlocked.

Look, I got a few
more cases to stock.

Do your thing, Vic,
we're all good.

Oh, we got some sick new
flat-screens in the VIP room.

I'm not working tonight... you
want to watch the Bulls game?

Uh...

yeah, sounds fun.

Sounds fun?

What, you don't like free beer?

Would you just, like, relax
a little bit, please?

There's nothing to
investigate here.

It's just some rich drunk
kid's word against Vic's,

and I've known him for years.

And the guy got me
through boot camp.

If it wasn't for
him, I'd still be

face down in a ditch.

Now let's go.

Okay, here you go.

This one's really soft.
You should take this one.

- I'm sorry, I can't take it.
- No, please, I want you to.

Go on, try it on.

You know what, I used to always

dress my little brother
up in my old clothes.

I always wanted a little sister.

- I have a little sister.
- Yeah?

Yeah, back in Honduras.

I should have stayed there.

Why didn't you?

My mom got sick, so I
came here to find work.

And for five months
I sent money home.

When she d*ed, I didn't even
get to go to her funeral.

I was trying to
make it here alone.

But then the fire
took everything.

It just happened so fast.

Yeah, those old buildings,
they burn pretty quick.

But I've never seen a
fire move like that.

Hey, uh...

can I ask you something?

Yeah.

Do you ever feel unsafe?

Like from you or...

That's funny. No, I mean
in your daily life,

do you ever... find
yourself wishing

that you had more protection?

Now I do. What's this about?

Well, Lauren has an
idea for how we can

save the future of Reeves.

Ah. By asking vague questions?

By selling our police
tech to civilians.

Private security, right?

There's a lot of money there.

Pricey condos and
gated communities.

Yeah, that sounds awesome.
It sounds like, uh,

like Disneyland.

Or, you know, North Korea.

Can't exactly fund every
district in the country.

Even billionaires don't
have that kind of money.

Oh, my God.

You sound just like Lauren.

Man, it is crazy how quickly
she gets in your head.

But by all means, you guys
want to turn this world

into a police state,
that's fine with me.

Just don't ask for my help.

What does she think
about all this?

Hasn't really come up.

- Huh.
- What?

Well, if you can't talk
to Murphy about it,

it's probably a
really dumb idea.

We need to talk.

Sounds serious.

I've got a hunch.

Oh, how Scooby-Doo of you.
What is it?

I can't explain it, but I
can't shake this-this feeling

that this isn't a real g*ng w*r.

I mean, if the Hustlas and Kings
really wanted to k*ll each other,

all it would take would
be, like, some drive-bys.

Both of those gangs are
armed to the teeth.

Why burn down a building
full of immigrant families?

I just combed through the
records, and before last month,

there's never been any history of
arson with either one of them.

Maybe they decided
to turn up the heat.

See what I did there?

There's only one way
to find out for sure.

- What's that?
- It's time to have dinner with Andre.

There's always some kind of beef
between us and the Hustlas,

but k*lling grandmas, that
ain't how we get down.

We want new turf, we need
customers, not corpses.

Right.

Don't you think the
Hustlas feel the same?

I don't give a damn
how they feel.

You still think they set the
fire that k*lled your boy?

- Probably not.
- Good.

So you're not gonna hit back?

I didn't say all that.

I still got to do
what I got to do.

You just said that
they didn't do it.

I know what I said.

I'm a CEO, just like you.

End of the day, I
got a bottom line.

Situation like this creates

what you might call a
leadership challenge.

I can't let my people see me
taking, and not giving it back.

Andre, please, just
hold off a day.

Okay?

Give us a chance.

What the hell you
gonna do with a day?

Get the guy who really did this,

and put his ass in jail.

Fine.

I'll tell my boys to chill,

but you and Richie Rich over here...
better hurry.

By the way, dinner's on you.

If this wasn't the
Hustlas and the Kings,

we're back at square one.

Or... and I'm just
throwing this out there...

maybe the career criminal
was lying to us.

Andre knows he's better
off telling me the truth.

If he says he didn't do
it, he didn't do it.

But he's not gonna keep
the peace for long

unless we can
figure out who did.

Anything else on
the fire report?

No, no. I read it.
It's pretty useless.

They had to come up with new
ways to say "catastrophic."

Damn it.

How did those fires
spread so quick?

I wish I could just
go back in time

and pay more attention
when I was in there.

Go back in time to
when you were there.

Murphy...

you're a genius.

I'm-I'm... I'm the genius,

but you're very smart.

Let's get back to the station.

I got an idea.

So I was able to use the footage
from Murphy's body-cam,

along with some that Ada
pulled off her phone

to reconstruct the fire
in this 360-degree

- virtual view of what happened.
- Hell yes!

It's great. So the
full-size one,

it'll have the same resolution?

Full-size? What, you
want it bigger?

Oh, yeah, I got to be able to
walk around in it with Murphy.

I'm thinking, like,
ten or 12 feet.

How big is this room?

Gideon, that's not
gonna be cheap.

No. Good thing
you're not paying.

When can you have it done?

Uh, four hours, I guess.

Cool, I'll be down there in two.

Good work.

Oh, come... come on!

What are you calling a foul?

Just let these guys play.

Ah, we never should
have got rid of Noah.

Man, I still haven't
gotten over Jordan.

Yeah. Well, you got to love
the Bulls, you know...

Hey, uh, I've been
meaning to ask you.

What do you think it would take
for me to get on the force?

The force? You want to be a cop?

Why not? I mean, I got
the training for it.

You can vouch for me.

Plus, I figure, if they
let you do it, anyone...

Ah, right, right.

Look, I just want to do
something I'm proud of.

You know, bouncing's no
way to make a living.

It's late night, crappy food,

drunks in your friggin'
face all the time.

You know that cops have
all that, too, right?

Yeah, but you get decent
pay and benefits.

Well, there's a lot more
politics involved with it.

I mean, just getting a badge, you got
to jump through all kinds of hoops.

My partner, she's got this friend
at the personnel division,

and they just straight deny
applications all day long.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, she's got
a friend in personnel?

Yeah.

Then call her, put
in a word for me.

Oh, come on, man.

I-I just, I need a sh*t.

All right.

Yeah, I'll give her a call.

What, you want me to
call her right now?

Yeah! Come on. Look, I'll get
us some sh*ts, all right?

All right.

Hey. Hey! Get a room.

Aah...

Ha, ha!

Wow, I mean,

I can't believe that Pete
built this in one day.

It's pretty cool, right?

It's like being inside
a KISS concert.

Oh, yeah.

Are you people ready
to rock and...

You...

What? Never been
to a KISS concert?

Sorry, I'm not a
hundred years old.

So is this everything
from my body-cam?

Can you loop it back?

Stop. Frame zero,

play speed standard,
smooth interpolation,

no blur.

Every time that I look at this,

it just feels like the fire's
coming out of nowhere.

What's that?

Take it back ten seconds.

Frame 455.

Pay attention to the
ducts as we walk by.

That's how it spread so fast.

You can't get into those ducts
without anyone seeing you.

Whoever did this, had access and
knew exactly what they were doing.

So unless Chicago's gangs

have gotten into the heating and
air conditioning business...

We're looking in
the wrong place.

Here's the problem, Gideon.

If we don't find this guy fast,
then the Green Street Kings

are gonna burn this
district to the ground.

I'm sorry, Detective.

I don't understand
what you mean.

We've been looking
into a series of fires

that've been going on
in the 13th district,

trying to find some
kind of a link.

So what do you want with me?

Well, it turns out that
your company has had jobs

for every single one of those
buildings that've been b*rned.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Are you suggesting I'm involved
in this in some way? I...

No. No, no. Of course not.

But we do think that someone
that works for you might be.

So with your permission,
we'd really like to look

at your employment files.

No. Not gonna do it.

Why not?

Well, I'm not gonna be
railroaded without a warrant.

- I know my rights.
- That's good.

You're a smart man.


How much?

How much for what?

All of it, Mr. Kim. I want
to buy your business.

Oh, it's not for sale.

Well, maybe not, but
I need your records.

So from a negotiation
standpoint,

you're in the catbird seat.

Does 300 grand cover it?

Wha... look, this is crazy.

I don't even know how much
my business is worth.

Half a million. Final offer.

Sold.

Here you go.

Uh...

so, s-should I just go, then?

- Yeah.
- Oh, okay.

Thanks.

Do we need that?

You're unbelievable.

I'd help, but I think you're
better at this than me.

I think you're right.

You and your computer screens.

I mean, can you even
read handwriting?

Come on, I bought all the files.

You expect me to read them, too?

Shh.

- Boom.
- What? Find something?

This guy, Duke Johnson.

He was the Lakefront H-VAC
supervisor for both buildings.

I mean, if anybody can
tell us about the guys

that worked there,
it's this guy.

But this file's ancient, though.

I mean, there's no address,
there's no number.

It's gonna be impossible
to track him this way.

How about that way?

Well, look at that.

You can read after all.

Hey, Cap, you got a sec?

Well, if I didn't, it
doesn't matter now.

I wanted to talk to you about
a new potential recruit.

Vic Evans. Yeah, I
already got your e-mail.

Oh, good, good.

So you know he was
a great soldier.

He's gonna make a great cop.

Not while he's the subject
of an active investigation.

Active?

What do you mean?

Maybe you should talk
to your partner.

Tell me you didn't
poison the well for Vic.

I didn't poison anything.

Just not drinking this
dude's Kool-Aid yet.

- Goss, you got to trust me.
- I do trust you.

- I also want to protect you.
- From what?

Look, I know you think you
owe Vic from helping you out

back in the Army, but what if
you get this guy on the force

and he loses his
cool on someone?

You really want to put
your ass on the line

for somebody you used to know?

Hey. I'm telling you.

- He's not what you think.
- Good.

Then I'm sure we won't
find anything on this.

It's the alley behind
your friend's bar,

where he says he doesn't
b*at anyone up.

- Oh, hell no.
- Hey.

If he's really the
angel you say he is,

you have my word and I'll call
the personnel division myself

and recommend Vic
for the academy.

But if I'm right,
we arrest his ass

and you buy my iced tea
for the next six months.

You want me to spy on my friend?

No, Brandt.

I want you to back
up your partner.

Look, it's not like I wanted
to buy the place, Lauren.

It was just a means to an end.

Okay, well, the only end that
you need to be worried about

is convincing the shareholders
that you are in control of Reeves.

I just finished with the board,

and we have a meet-and-greet
tonight at Gibson's.

Mm. No, no.

I-I don't think I can make that.

All right. Well, I'll cover
for you, like I always do.

But listen, it is very important

that you are prepared tomorrow.
This is a big deal.

Yeah. I've been thinking.

What if I don't give
a speech this year?

You could spin it
as a good PR move.

Intrigue the shareholders.

You're nervous. I get it.

But just give the
speech that I wrote.

You are gonna do great.

You good?

Yeah, I'm fine.

What do you think about
privatized policing?

Like rent-a-cops?

Mm. No, more like actual police.

Like if people could pay

for some of the stuff that
the 13th District does now.

What, what, what?

People want more security.

I'm just supposed to
ignore their money?

Gideon, the people who
need our help the most

can't pay for it.

There's this girl, Adriana, from
the last building that b*rned.

She lost everything
in that fire.

If we start protecting rich
people from their shadows,

who's gonna protect
people like Adriana?

Fair point, yes.

But I do have a responsibility
to my shareholders

as Lauren reminds
me twice a day.

Well, I'm one of
those shareholders.

And I don't think
it's a good idea.

What are you talking about?

I bought a couple shares
in Reeves Industries.

Mateo's college fund.

So, do I want you to make money?
Yeah.

But not if it means
selling my badge.

The job site's up here.

Okay.

If Duke can tell us who
we're looking for,

then we might b*at
Andre to the punch.

And now they're telling
us that we have to be

some kind of sanctuary city?
Can you believe that?

We need to march on city
hall and tell the mayor

that Chicago is for Americans.

I've had enough of
this liberal, multi...

Duke Johnson?

Yeah, that's me.

Detective Murphy, CPD.

Do you mind if we ask
you a few questions?

The immigrants come in...

Hey!

Stop!

Gideon, move!

Damn it!

It's okay.

It's just my ankle.

We lost him.

Well...

not entirely.

Hey.

How's the foot?

It'd be better if you told me we
got something out of that phone.

Well, then get ready for
a miraculous recovery.

We checked the cell's
location history.

Turns out Duke the Supervisor

has been spending a lot of
time in an old warehouse.

Yeah, it's a place he used
to own in Fuller Park?

It's been abandoned since he
filed for bankruptcy in '08.

Send the address to my car.

- I'm gonna check it out.
- Are you sure?

I can still kick ass
with my good foot.

- I actually believe her.
- I do, too.

This is a complete
waste of time.

Yeah. You mentioned that.

And told me I was full
of crap at least twice.

Well, you know. If the poo fits.

Shut up.

Uh... he's coming out again.

Come on, man.

Kicking me out over a
little spilled drink?

You spilled three drinks
on two girls, all right?

All right, you've had enough.
Just head home, pal.

There.

Do you see that?

One more politely
escorted drunk.

How much longer do
we need to do this?

Yeah, what if I don't want to go?
Huh?

What you gonna do
then, bouncer boy?

Oh, damn it.

- Hey, hey.
- Vic!

Chicago Police.

Put him down, Vic!

Hey, Hey, hey, hey, hey, bud.

What the hell's wrong
with you, man?!

Squad, we need an ambulance.

Just stay still,
just stay still...

Calm down, just calm down.

Got Murphy, Cobb and
Reyes at the warehouse

we found on Duke
Johnson's phone.

Great, great, great. Let's
just hope he's in there.

Welcome to Hatefest.

What kind of sicko is this guy?

The kind that spells
America with three "K" 's.

This bastard just wanted
to hurt immigrants

and let Andre and his
boys take the heat.

Let's go see if we can find him.

Need more backup.

Yeah, especially with a
n*zi firebug on the loose.

Freeze. Police.

Drop the can and put your
hands over your head.

Easy, chica.

This stuff's very flammable.

Do what I told you, you
r*cist son of a bitch.

It's not a problem.

No problemo.

Squad, offender on the move and
he set the damn place on fire.

Gideon, they need help.

Yeah, I can see that.

Let him go, Murph.

Just get out of there.

Squad, the offender's exiting

from the east side
of the building.

Reyes, they're headed your way.

Try and cut him off.

Chicago Police.

You're under arrest,
you son of a bitch.

Well done, guys.

Offender's in custody.

Good, now let's get
Murphy out of there.

Uh, guys?

Hang on, Murphy.

I'm coming.

Yeah, thanks.

Fire department's a ways out,

at least another
eight, ten minutes.

I'll be there in two, tops.

What the hell's a
drone gonna do?

This is not an ordinary drone.

This is the TK421.

This one uses a concussive
charge to extinguish flames.

You're gonna blow up the fire?

Murph. Stay low.

Short, shallow breaths.

There's no way back in.

Which means there's
no way back out.

Okay, drone's on site.

Talk to me, Ada.

There's got to be some
way to get inside.

There's an opening in the
roof on the east wall.

Okay. Big enough for this drone?

I don't know. It's
about eight feed wide.

It's gonna be pretty difficult.

Well, I do love a challenge.

- Murph, you still with me?
- Yeah, but...

I don't know how much longer.

Murph,

I'm gonna clear a path for you
and you're gonna run, okay?

Okay, okay.

Murph, one more thing.

This could get a little loud.

Go now!

You got this, Murph. Just
a little bit further.

Almost there.

Go!

Hey, hey. We got, we
got you, we got you.

She's out!

Thank God.

And me.

And-and God.

Hey, bro.

Hey.

Sorry about last night.

Just got a little amped up.

Why don't you just let me
go home and sleep it off?

I can't do that, Vic.

You lied to us.

Someone comes at me,
I just suddenly...

black out.

Yeah, well, um...

now, listen, I'll, uh...

I'll talk to the prosecutor.

I'll see if he'll consider
your service record.

See about getting
you some real help.

Brando.

Thanks, brother.

You talk to him?

Yeah.

Sorry I was such a jerk.

Listen, I know he's
your buddy, and...

Yeah, but you're my partner.

Next time I'll listen.

Needs more sugar.

In light of Johnson's arrest,

the g*ng conflict that has
plagued the 13th district

is rumored to be
nearing a truce.

Leaders from both sides...

I hate the way I look on TV.

You looked amazing.

I can't believe you
actually caught him.

Well, it takes a special kind
of crazy to do that job.

I was thinking...

maybe I'd like to be
that kind of crazy.

You want to be a cop?

Do you think I could do it?

Yeah, I think you can do
anything you want to do.

sh**t, I'm late.

Um, do you mind waiting

until Mateo and Mita come
back from the store?

She's an awesome cook.

Don't worry. I'm happy.

Okay, good.

As you all know,

I have solved a lot of
tough problems in my life.

Reusable rocket stages,

asteroid hunting telescopes,

you name it, but,
uh, you know what?

I never faced a problem
tougher than law enforcement.

In engineering, math,
problems have solutions.

Once you figure them
out, you're done.

You're ready for
a new challenge.

But as long as one
person in the world

still wants to take unfair
advantage of another,

there's no real
solution to crime.

Now, fortunately, a
problem being unsolvable

does not mean that
it can't make money,

which is why in the
next fiscal quarter,

Reeves Industries will
proudly introduce...

APB Prime.

Bravo!

This revolutionary approach...

to privatized policing...

will offer Reeves customers...

a new level of
personal security...

on a pay-as-you-go...

or subscription basis.

So, uh, whether we are
working in tandem...

with local law enforcement...

or offering our
services à la carte...

to an elite clientele...

um...

yeah, we're not
doing any of that.

♪ Get up slow ♪

♪ Come down... ♪

Here's the deal.

I started this company from
a South Side storage space

and turned it into the global
powerhouse that it is today.

Seven divisions,
28,000 employees,

48 billion in the bank,
and I used to think

that making those numbers
bigger was all that mattered.

But in the last few months,

I've looked at some new numbers.

3,248 sh**t.

564 homicides.

14 cases of deadly arson.

That's just Chicago.

So, all that matters to me now

is making those
numbers smaller...

no matter what the cost.

Listen...

I've made each and
every one of you folks

a crap-load of money.

So, like it or not,

you're just gonna have
to trust me on this one.

Gideon out.
