Run.

Chicago PD! Get your hands up!

I run a safe place program.
I'm looking for Abby.

You go looking for every kid
that comes through your doors?

What the hell is he doing in here?

Sean has been playing me
this entire time.

I have more on Abby
than you're gonna get

in your DCFS file. Just let me help.

There are over two dozen girls

that have gone through Safe
Place that no longer exist.

What are you actually saying?

The chief's son is
trafficking underage girls.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Ha.

Jordan, you funny, man.

[CAR LOCK HONKS] For real.

Vinessa's comin' up
from Texas next week,

so you might as well just
stay with me until she leaves.

You know she gon' wanna
yap your head off anyway.

Right, we doin' family dinner, she say.

Girl & the Goat, right. [LAUGHS]

Nah, I just gotta see what I got,

'cause I got four units already done,
but all that's Section .

Yeah, boy, I got tenants moving
in the building next month,

so you can crash with me until
we find something you like.

We don't gotta rush it.

Oh, Jordan, I gotta go.

Just got here. Love you, bro.

You're late.

Lower Wacker was flooded, Sarge.

Yeah, rain'll do that.

No disrespect, but aren't I the one

that's doing you the big
last-minute favor, Sarge?

Yes, because your colleague,
Hailey Upton,

unceremoniously canceled on me,

and all of this will be remembered.

Mm, okay, so who are we doin' today?

We are doing a group of patrol officers.

The lecture series is supposed
to assist those inside

who are very young
and also very wound up.

The majority look like
tiny, little chickens

who just discovered what's on the menu,

so don't go in there all breezy.

All right.
But also, don't go at 'em too hard.

And don't middle ground it
and waste their time.

Thank you for that, Sarge.
You just left me with a lot.

- Sanchez?
- Yes, sir?

Get your wimpy ass up.

Stand right there.

There you go. Everybody, get up.

Get up.

Get up!

Get in a circle. Fill in the gaps.

Wherever you not at, fill in the gaps.

There you go. Come on.

Yeah, you feel that?

Tension.

Anxiety.

I felt it as soon
as I walked in the room,

but you feel it a lot more when
you stand like this, don't you?

That's what half this job
is about... readin' that.

Readin' the room when you walk in.

Readin' the car when you pull it over.

Feelin' v*olence that just happened

and v*olence that's on the way.

Feeling tension and anxiety in the air.

It's okay there's a little
tension around here right now,

but you acknowledge that here.

You feel it here,

and then you leave it.

Everybody, take a breath.

[INHALES DEEPLY]

Leave it.

Don't take it out there
on the street with you,

because it gonna be hard as hell

for you to read the air
when you need to.

So instead,

when you walk out of this room,

take your empathy with you.

Right?

Empathy is what you take
out there on the streets.

Empathy is where it starts,

and empathy is what we gon'
be talkin' about today,

whatever the hell that is.

So let's get these desks back in order.

And if y'all got any questions,
we can start with that.

Go ahead, Sanchez.

It's okay. Right this way.

All right. What do we got?

Another violent armed carjacking.

- Yeah?
- Victims are a mother and son.

Robin and Miles Reeves.

Miles didn't make it.
Robin is still in shock.

Was she able to tell you what happened?

Yeah, she said her son
was pumping gas in his BMW.

She was walking
towards the passenger side

after leaving the bathroom.

The jackers ran up, hit hard and fast.

- Well, she get a look at 'em?
- Yeah.

She said it was two of 'em,
both of 'em masked.

One of 'em was armed.

The one with the g*n dragged
her out the passenger side.

The other one hit the driver side.

- Hmm.
- How'd he end up here?

Yeah, so many blocks away?

The jacker yanked him inside the car.

Started drivin',
dragged him eight blocks.

Had to be goin' at least
miles an hour by his injuries.

Then they just tossed him out.

All right, so let's get a
BOLO out on the stolen vehicle.

Start chattin' up witnesses.

Pull the surveillance video
from the gas station.

Let's go.

- Anything about Sean?
- No.

Well, nothing actionable.

But he's been with a young boy
or girl every time I've seen him.

That is his job.

We should push him.

No, listen. We gotta be patient, okay?

- If there's something...
- There is.

There's something there.

We should loop in the rest of the team,

that way there's always
someone tracking him.

- We always have eyes.
- Hailey.

If... or when... we have
actionable evidence,

we will.

Till then, I wanna keep this

All right,
a -year-old dad of two just d*ed

tryin' to save his mom.

That's the case we've got right now.

Let's work it.

Excuse me.

I'm Officer Burgess.
This is Officer Ruzek.

The carjacking that
just happened at pump four,

- did you see anything?
- Nope.

Can't see pump four from here.

All right. Um, there was a woman.

Her name was Robin.
She was one of the victims.

She came in to use the restroom.

What do you remember?

A lot of customers come in here.

Your name's Clarita?

Right.

Well, Clarita, while your help
has been overwhelming,

it's probably best you just
show us the lot footage

and we can check for ourselves, okay?

None of these cameras work.
They're decoys.

Owner's a cheap-ass.

- Huh.
- This is Chicago.

Cars get jacked around here
two, three times a day.

I'm surprised you guys showed up.

You don't always.

Yeah. Well, we're here now.

Look, I didn't see anything,

but the guy across the street...
owns the liquor store...

he's obsessed with security cameras.

All right. Where are we?

Still going through old security footage

from the past two months.

Carjackings have tripled
in the Near South Side.

That south loop area,
where the jackings took place,

has been hit the hardest.

- Same M.O.? Same men?
- Uh-huh.

For that stretch,
that's what it looks like.

Always two masked guys, armed,

one of them always
in a black track jacket.

Between the height, weight, and masks,
it's a pretty good match, Sarge.

Clarita, the gas station clerk,

she may not be big on customer service,

but the girl can count.

This pair has been doing two,
three jackings a week.

All right, all right.
I got the latest footage.

Okay, okay.

Jesus, they hit it hard and fast.

They move like they know
what they're doing too.

Never lookin' near a camera.

Damn.

All right, the stolen cars
fit any recent sh**t?

No, sir. None of them pops on any crime.

They're not just doin' this
for joyrides.

They're flipping 'em for cash.

Got something a block
from the carjacking.

New traffic cam.

This was minutes before the carjacking.

Jackers get out of this car.

Car's registered to an Andrew Chaffey.

years old. No priors, no backgrounds.

He owns three homes,

but this Nissan is registered
to his mansion in Lakeview.

Never was reported stolen.

All right, Kev, Adam,
you guys hit Lakeview.

Rest of you, split up the other two.

- Let's move.
- Good work.

No, you swore to me!

You know how this works!

No, you promised him.

You don't get to tell me how things are.

Go, go, go!

Hey! Chicago PD!

I'm breaking left! I'm breaking left!

Headed west toward Halstead

in between Roscoe and Cornelia.

White male, slim build.

Black male, black track jacket

in connection with the carjacking,
and the homicide.

Hey!

[CAR HORN HONKS]

Son of a bitch.

I got an Asian male, about ' ".

Just hopped into a stolen
silver BMW, no plates,

heading north towards Cornelia.

Uh-huh.

There's nowhere else to go.

Okay?

I need y'all to put your hands

I'm puttin' my w*apon away.

Everybody's gonna be okay.

Why the hell you chasin' us, Cop?

Because you're persons of

Hey, Ruz, I got two in the back.

Yeah, copy. I'm heading back.

Hey, hey, what the hell are you doin'?

Don't go reachin' for nothin', man!

Why, so you can sh**t us,
and say you was fearin' for your life?

Yeah, a'ight, just keep your
hands where I can see 'em, okay?

- I didn't do anything, please.
- Okay.

That don't matter now, Johnny.
You see that g*n? You see it?

- Listen.
- No, you don't understand.

Okay, well, cooperate
and put your hands up.

If you didn't do anything,
everything's gonna be okay.

I'm gonna get a chance
to listen to both of you.

Nah, man. You put the g*n down first.

- Put it down.
- I really didn't do anything.

Okay, all right.

Put your hands up then, Johnny.
It's gonna be okay.

If you didn't do anything,
we gon' get a chance

- Nah, man!

No, we ain't goin' to jail!
Right, Johnny?

What? Jail? I can't...

I'm not going to jail!

Johnny, don't listen to him. Look at me.

Matter of fact, you ain't
even supposed to chase us

no more, Cop. You made the mistake.

Look at me.

Hey! Hey!

Oh. Oh, God.

Listen to me.

It's okay. You're okay.

I was just... [GRUNTS]

Shh.

Young male, white. GSW to the stomach.

I need an ambo right now. Kev, you good?

Yeah, I'm good. I'm good.
I just need that ambo!

Where's the other offender?
Ambo's on its way.

Don't worry about it. Come on!

You're okay.

What happened?

He lunged. He lunged at me.

- I...
- I...

I was just...

Dispatch, I need an ETA
on that ambo right now.

Hey, man.

Kev?

Wait.

Wait, wait. Stay here.

Second one today, Sarge.

Yeah, it's one of them days.

All right. Talk to me.

We were approaching three young males

- outside Andrew Chaffey's LKA.
- Okay.

One of them had on a black track jacket

from the carjacking footage.

The other one split
to the stolen vehicle.

- It's obviously the crew.
- Mm-hmm.

I chased the third one in there.

Ruzek gets his ID out
of his pocket in the ambo,

and it's Andrew Chaffey's son, Johnny.

Listen, kid's still hangin' on, okay?

Just got to Med. Adam's with him.

Look, now I need you
to take a few breaths.

- I'm fine.
- All right, Kev.

I get that.

Still, I need you to take a few breaths

before you talk to IRT, okay?

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

Yeah, and then I was
in foot pursuit of both of 'em.

At this point,
you were the only officer?

At this point, yes, sir.

I drew my w*apon to clear this area.

Once I corned both of 'em,
I seized my w*apon,

I gave 'em both verbal commands
to raise their hands

at least three or four times.
They both refused.

And one of 'em,
the unidentified Black male,

reached.

I drew my w*apon again.

It was just his cell phone,
and the kid panicked.

- The offender?
- Right.

Right. Yeah, I'm sorry.

Panicked offender.

That's okay. It's just the facts.

Keep going.

Yeah, well, he was just a kid.

I tried to de-escalate,
talk to both of 'em.

I told them that I would listen to 'em.

The kid... the offender... charged me.

He got his hand on my arm, the grip.

He pushed the trigger.

The offender pushed the trigger?

Yes, sir.

I did my best to point
my w*apon away from him,

keep my finger off of the trigger.

He fired it.

The only witness?

Was the other individual that fled...

the other person of interest
in our carjacking.

Okay.

Now, we're gonna need your clothes.

We're gonna need your service
w*apon to check for GSR as well.

All right.

All right.

- Kev...
- Mm-hmm.

A'ight, we got anything
on the two that got away?

Not yet. We don't have their IDs.

We didn't catch 'em on cams.

[SIGHS]

They were already scrappin'
when we got there.

- Yeah.
- Right?

The oldest of the three...
the one with the track jacket...

he was roughing Johnny up already.

Johnny was screamin' somethin' about,

"You promised. You promised."

I feel like they knew
each other pretty well.

I'll run his last known associates,

A'ight, we got anything on
his logs from the phone carrier?

Been runnin' 'em.

Last calls and texts were to his mom.
Nothing pops yet.

Johnny Chaffey just d*ed at Med.

Chaffey was an honor student
at Latin Prep High School.

He had no criminal record.

The Chaffeys are a very wealthy family.

They are also politically active.

What are you saying?

They've already retained legal counsel

and have called a press conference.

They're claiming
the sh**ting was unprompted.

They're claiming that their son's
death was CPD incompetence.

They're claiming that it was m*rder.

but not g*nsh*t residue

The only GSR was found on the officer.

Johnny's prints weren't on the g*n.

There's no footage. There no body cam.
There's no evidence.

We asked you here,

hoping you'll extend us
the same humanity

and accountability you show

for our friends in the NAACP

so that this cop,
who happens to be Black,

- as white cops guilty...

Of illegally sh**ting down
Black children.

You don't need to be watching that.

He's a bad cop. He's a bad cop.

We got work to do. Come on.

They know I tested positive for GSR

and they know that I'm Black?
How do they even know that?

Because someone on our end is talkin'.

Believe me, I'm lookin' into it.

Nah, Johnny got that black
eye from the other carjacker.

The street was wet, so
the GSR would've never stuck.

And I'm plainclothes, Sarge,

- Kev,

Kev, you did nothin' wrong.

I know that.

It doesn't matter what you know.

You and I both know that.

It does not matter.
We have no witnesses.

Yeah, but we got footage.
The carjacker was filming, right?

So all we gotta do is find him
and find his phone.

Okay, we got two carjackers out there

who just brutally dragged a man
to his death.

They also got video footage
of a police-involved sh**ting.

So let's do our jobs and find 'em.

All right, tell me we got somethin'.

No IDs on them yet.

We're running Johnny's social media.

He's got lots of friends, lots of posts,

but no g*n flashing, no g*ng disses,

no joyride videos... nothing.

The Latin High School
has been really cooperative.

They sent a list of Johnny's friends,

teachers, club members, mentors.

We've been going through it,
but so far, nothin'.

But...

the carjacker filming wasn't a kid.

He was older. Maybe he's leadin' 'em.

Okay, so let's expand our search.

My man.

[LAUGHS]

Or maybe it was something else.

You probably want some proof of that.

You probably need it.

What I need is for you two
to lessen the charges.

No more than two years.

That sounds about right.

And I need protective custody.

And I need money each week on my books,

and a mattress pad,

and two ergonomic pillows.

That'll do it.

We tossed Oscar's place...

every closet, cabinet, drawer,
pulled up the floors.

There's still no burner phone.

The video's not in any
of his tech, not in the cloud.

I pulled all the data
from his registered cell phone.

It's clean, of course.

All right, what about his vehicles?

- His last knowns?
- They're all clean.

Wherever the phone is, we don't have it.

[SIGHS]

All right, let's get
ASA Chapman on the phone,

see what kind of deal
we can get in writing.

No.

- We're not makin' a deal.
- Kev.

I mean, you gotta know.

I mean, the Chaffeys,
they got cash, lawyers.

I mean, they will get this to
a courtroom in front of a jury.

Let 'em.

I won't lie.

We'll find another way.

I don't know that this is gonna work.

It'll definitely gonna work. Trust me.

It's not gonna work if Oscar saw Torres.

Torres was coverin' the back
when we breached.

I'm sure Oscar didn't see Torres.

Look, I'm just worried
that if it doesn't work

and it pisses Oscar off more,

he's gonna be harder
to make a deal with, Kev.

It doesn't matter,
because we're not making a deal

with him anyway, Ruz.

I appreciate you,
but I meant what I said.

You ready?

I'm ready.

But I can't go in clean.

Yo.

Son of a bitch.

You can't be roughing people up.
You know that, right?

- Huh?
- Sleep it off.

Okay. Yeah.

You know this ain't legal, right?

I'm sober. I'm sober now.

Uh-huh.

Yeah! Uh-huh, yeah!

You're gonna have to answer,
for not giving me my phone call!

Son of a bitch!

Hey!

- Hey!
- They gone.

All right, y'all. Here we go.

What you in for, man?

Okay, we're movin'.

Tried to boost
a Jeep TrackHawk on Mag Mile.

The woman in it had a Glock.

Almost capped my ass.

The police came, arrested me,

and let the lady with the Glock walk.

[SCOFFS]

What?

Yeah, she had a CCL, no records.

I had warrants.

Come on.

He ain't gonna be able to resist this.
Come on.

Come on, man.

Mag Mile is way too hot.

Yeah. Okay, bro.

It's got them fancy rides,

but it's got them fancy cameras too.

It's a green move.

Yo, what... what the hell
do you know about it, bro?

So when you get out of here?

My girl's gonna bail me out
as soon as I get my phone call.

Mm-hmm.

Come on.

Bro, what you in for?

What you think?

Except I actually get the car.

[SCOFFS]

You ever wanna learn the real thing,

find me when you get out.

Yo.

You jacked a car,

and you think
you're getting out before me?

I wasn't violent. The lady was violent.

I already got my call, kid.

I got all the calls I need.

But you...

I can get that bitch to come unlock
the door, give me anything I want.

My insurance.

Matter of fact,
that's a free gain for you.

Always get yourself some insurance.

Bro, what are you talking about?

- You watch the news?
- Yeah.

You see the white boy that got sh*t?

Yeah, so what?

I got a video of it,

and the police are gonna
give me whatever I want

for my movie.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Yo, police are gonna find that.

I ain't stupid.

I ain't keep it on me.

My girl's got it.

Who the hell is his girlfriend?

We got anything on the girl?

Nothing on social.

Okay. What about phone records?

Bunch of texts. None of them stand out.

None of them sound like a girlfriend.

A'ight, get PODs outside
his home and his chop shop.

You run any vehicle comin' or goin'.

- I'm already on it.
- Uh-huh.

Frequent callers? Anything?

They're all a bunch of burners.
It's gonna take time.

We also got WhatsApp, Venmo.

He could've met her on a dating site.

Or on his block. I think I got her.

All right, plates are Charlie, George,

one, four, three, six, seven.

Charlie, George,
one, four, three, six, seven.

Yep, Clarita Bolvine.

Clarita?

Yeah, lives in Humboldt Park. No priors.

I knew she was acting funny.

This is the woman from the gas station.

Grab Torres.

I'll get the warrant
while you're on your way.

Copy that.

Clarita Bolvine, put
your hands where I can see 'em.

Put 'em up.

You under arrest. It's over.

Don't act like you don't know
what the hell is goin' on.

It's not what you think.
I was just his lookout.

And I really...

I didn't... I didn't want...

You didn't what? Clarita, look at me.

Oscar doesn't give a damn
if you go to jail.

Did he give you his phone?

Come on, man.
Everybody just needs to relax.

[BOTH STRAINING]

- [g*nsh*t]
- [GRUNTS]

I mean, that's cut and dry.

CPD will release it.

I'm sure we can isolate the footage.

We'll be transparent, I'm sure.

Is that all? Are we done?

Yeah.

[KNOCKING]

No, no, no. I don't need to see you.

- I know that.
- Look, I saw the video.

If you're here looking for an
apology, you'll never get one.

That's not why I came.

That video didn't change a thing.

You k*lled my son.

Get the hell off my property.

Why are you here?

I'm not leavin' until I can
help fill in some gaps for you.

May I do that, please?

What do you mean?

The man responsible

for your son being involved
in all of this

is Oscar Boyd.

Oscar Boyd is goin' to prison
for the rest of his life.

This man recruited a child
to help him steal cars.

The child's name was Cam Wong.

Your son's friend.

And I think a lot of people
turned their backs on Cam

after he got expelled...
everybody but your son.

Oscar knew that
Cam was easily manipulated,

knew that he needed cash,

knew that he needed to feel accepted,

so he used that, and he exploited it.

Did he do that to Johnny too?

Mm-mm.

There is no evidence that
your son took any deals, no.

But we do know that Cam wanted out.

Cam wanted to stop,
and Oscar wouldn't let him.

So Cam told your son, Johnny.

Oh, God.

And Johnny just wanted
to help his friend.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

Ma'am.

You raised a good man.

Your son's last words were,

"I was just."

And I think
what he was tryin' to say was

he was just...

tryin' to help.
