the Morning. Shade 45.
We gotta talk about
what's happening in Chicago.
MAN 1: You got... (INDISTINCT)
...on the line right now, man.
You wanna know
what the problem is?
The problem is
they don't care about us.
The problem is
we don't got enough education.

A 12-year old girl

this topic goin'
because something has to give
in Chicago.
OFFICER McCORD: Squad B-9116,
emergency. 10-1 emergency.
Shots fired at the police.
We have an officer down.
I'm coming in from South Loop.
We're on Wacker Avenue.
We're heading
toward Chicago North.
ETA about two minutes.
(SIREN WAILING)
Multiple GSWs in his chest.
He's in critical condition.
Have a trauma surgeon meet us
at the ER entrance.
DISPATCHER:
Be advised. Officer en route.
Multiple gunshot wounds.
ETA, two minutes.
We can do it! Stay awake!
(TIRES SCREECHING)
Move! Jesus Christ!
Come on!
Come on, buddy, let's go.
Go!
What do we have?
Gunshot wounds to the chest.
Massive bleeding.
Clear the Trauma Room!
Come on, stay with me, buddy,
all right?
Don't close your eyes.
- Don't close your eyes.
- Out of the way!
- No pulse! No pulse!
- Jesus Christ!
Somebody help me!
Come on, buddy.
Stay with me, buddy! Come on!
SURGEON: You two.

I'll be right there.
Get Dr. Kersey.

PA ANNOUNCER:
Blue team to ICU, please.
Blue team to ICU.
NURSE:...fixed and dilated.
(SLOW BEEPING)
NURSE RACHEL: Dr. Kersey,
you're needed in Trauma One.
PAUL: Chris, switch with me.
CHRIS: Got it.
PAUL: Thanks.
Gunshot wounds,
including one to the neck.
- Vest?
- Yep.
- Doc, please.
- Hold on.
Thoracotomy tray now.
Five units of O-neg, stat.
And five more
en route to the ER.
- (RAPID BEEPING)
- Get the OR ready.
- NURSE: Yes, doctor.
- (BEEPING FLATLINES)
Let's call it.
Time of death, 12:24 a.m.
OFFICER McCORD:
Got here in six minutes.
I couldn't go any faster.
It had nothing
to do with you.
His heart stopped.
He's lost too much blood.
We did everything we could.
Sorry for your loss.
Shooter's in Two, doc.
Sorry.
PA ANNOUNCER: Dr. Kersey,
OR Two. Dr. Kersey, OR Two.
What? Now you're gonna go
save the animal that shot him?
PAUL: If I can.
(BEEPING FLATLINES)
I think
it's running a little slow.
Maybe it's time
for a new one.
- No, I like this one.
- Mmm.
They said 9:00.
She's going to get in.
I know.
I just miss envelopes.
None of this online crap.
JORDAN: Oh, my God! Yes!
(SQUEALS)
(SIGHS)
That sounds like
a good scream.
That sounded like
a very good scream.
Oh, hey, guys, what's up?
PAUL: Hi, baby.
You want some breakfast?
- Mmm-hmm.
- How are you? How you doing?
- I'm good.
- Yeah? You're hungry?
- Yeah, I'm starving.
- Want some eggs?
Mmm. Yes, please.
LUCY: Are you excited
for your game?
Eh. It's just a game.
Hey, I thought
I heard a noise upstairs.
Did you hear anything?
Yeah, I thought I heard
something, what was that?
Thank you.
I got in. I got in! I got in!
(BOTH LAUGHING)
LUCY: So happy, honey.
- I'm so happy for you!
- I'm gonna be living in New York City!
- (EXCITED SQUEALING)
- (LAUGHING)
I will fly home on weekends to do laundry,
okay? I promise.
Okay, okay, good.
Oh, my God. I have to text
Sophie to see if she got in.
(SIGHS) Our girl
is going to college.
I'm happy.
- Really.
- Yeah?
I think you have to tell that
to your face.
- Mmm. Baby.
- Mmm.
JORDAN: Don't stop! Come here!
- MAN: Watch the defender.
- Go, go, go!
All right, come on, Jordan.
Let's go, Jordan!
- PAUL: Jordan!
- LUCY: Let's go!
I guess I always had it
in my head
that she'd go to Northwestern.
Someplace close.
Yeah. You think
my dad was happy
when I wanted to leave Texas
to go to college?
Well, this is different.
(CHUCKLES) How's it different?
It's just that now we are
the ones that have to let go.
That's a foul! Hey!
That was cleats up!
- What the fuck, ref?
- Oh.
MAN 2: Really?
I guess I didn't think
it would happen so fast.
That's a bullshit pass,
Brianna. You know that!
I think we're gonna see her
more than we think.
Because we've got, um,
Thanksgiving,
- we've got Christmas...
- Mmm.
And we get to go
to New York City.
Foul! That's another foul!
- Jesus Christ!
- Take it easy, pal.
You're gonna give yourself
a heart attack.
I wasn't talking to you,
Lake Shore Drive.
No, as a matter of fact,
you were talking to everyone.
Just dial down the language,
there's kids here.
Or what?
Uh, Paul, come on.
I would just shut the fuck up
if I were you.
That's a good idea.
Why don't you do that?
Be me, and just shut the...
(MOUTHING) Fuck up.
You think that's funny?
Say it again.
Come on, funny guy.
Say it again.
Now you're quiet, huh?
- Come on! Come on!
- LUCY: Stop it!
- Stop it! Stop it!
- Come here.
(CHUCKLES) Oh, that's right.
Get your wife to defend you.
Pussy.
(LUCY SIGHS)
It's all right. All right.
Okay, so then the guy gets
right in Dad's face, okay?
And he starts shoving him and
it literally stops the game.
Spitting right in my face.
I had to get in
the middle of it.
I was gonna punch
the guy. Right?
Why didn't you
whoop this guy's butt?
Like in the old days.
Thank God your mom came over.
Wait, Dad, the "old days"?
- Yeah, your dad was a scrapper.
- PAUL: Yeah, I was a scrapper.
Really?
You never told me that!
He would've,
back in the day.
Tell her. Tell her.
- I used to fight my dad.
- Oh.
PAUL: Fighting all the time.
You know, he was screaming
and crying in the house.
And guess who was crying?
Me. I lost every fight.
- Terrible.
- I still love you, Dad.
You should take Krav Maga.
You study that.
This way, when you go
to college, and these guys,
when they get a little too aggressive
with you, you know what to do.
Don't look at me like I don't
know what I'm talking about.
No, no. Yeah, I'm just saying,
like, maybe I already know it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
- LUCY: Jordan!
- PAUL: All right, all right.
I tapped out.
Seriously, she trains Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday,
this one. Watch out.
- Really?
- I'm training.
And I actually found
a boxing gym in Tribeca
that all
the supermodels go to.
So I'm gonna start
going there.
(CHUCKLES)
And speaking of college,
how about your PhD?
Oh, that's very nice of you
to remember.
How about that?
Yes, 15 years in the making,
I am soon to be a doctor.
- Cheers to Mom, right?
- How about that? Come on.
JORDAN: Two Dr. Kerseys.
Can you believe it?
Two doctors.
- Are you gonna call me Doctor?
- Yes, I am.
- You are?
- I'm gonna call you Dr. Baby.
- FRANK: Cheers to Dr. Kersey.
- Thank you.
How about two Kerseys
that aren't doctors?
- How about cheers to us?
- Non-doctors.
I wanna get the big puffy
jackets, UGG slippers...
How much?
Two grand.
What? Two grand, what?
Hey, man.
You know, I've been convicted
of a crime.
I mean, it's not like
I'm a criminal, but...
- This cashmere?
- (LAUGHS)
It's okay.
All right, thanks, man.
Pauly, thank you.
No worries.
He's got the money. Not me.
Hey, thank you so much.
PAUL: MJ.
Bulls fan?
No, it's my name.
- Miguel Javier.
- Ah.
I know, I know, I know!
La Bamba, at 1:00. I got it.
Love you!
- It's La Fonda.
- At 8:00, okay?
FRANK: Three o'clock.
I got it.
Wednesday, 8:00, La Fonda.
FRANK: All right, I wouldn't
forget a restaurant like that.
- See you guys.
- LUCY: Bye.
(SIGHS)
Wow, you look nice.
So do you.
LUCY: Do you like
your present?
Yes.
- Aw.
- And I love you.
(CHUCKLES) Aw.
- (CHUCKLING)
- (CELL PHONE VIBRATING)
Oh, and who is this calling?
Oh, no.
Hi, Susan.
Yes, he's right here.
You guys ready?
PAUL: Hi, Susan.
I was just trying on
my birthday present.
No, I had worked it out
with Terry.
He's...
Okay.
Mmm-hmm.
Yeah, see you soon.
Terry has a 104 fever.
So, no birthday dinner
at La Fonda?
LUCY: Mmm-mmm.
I'll go tell Uncle Frank.
- Sorry, Daddy.
- Oh, it's all right, hon.
I just had my heart set
on that tres leches cake.
I know, me too.
We'll have it soon.
All right, baby.
(SIGHS) We will celebrate
tomorrow night.
Don't worry at all,
I promise.
Try and stay awake.
(CHUCKLES) Okay, I will.
- Okay. I'm sorry.
- I will. Bye, honey.
It's all right.
CHRIS: Hey, Paul.
Happy birthday, old man.
Oh, come on.
- First baseline.
- You don't get me anything.
You better be taking me
to that game.
(CHUCKLING)
(RAP MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO)
(LAUGHING)
Why can't we just Postmates
La Fonda? It's so much easier.
Our cake is gonna be
so much better
because we're gonna make it
with love.
Yeah, but La Fonda makes it
with love.
And we know that
Dad already loves it,
so it's kind of a win-win.
No, it's his birthday.
He's gonna love knowing that
we actually made the effort.
We did the work.
So we can make the effort
to dirty up the kitchen,
and then when he gets home,
we just pretend that we cooked all night.
Honey, we're making the cake.
Honey, could you get me
my iPad?
I think it's upstairs
on the nightstand.
Sure.
Thank you.
Hi, Soph.
I can't hear you.
(CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)
Okay, so I've narrowed it down
to two options.
I'm thinking either
Third North or Seventh Street.
Third North
has bigger bedrooms
but I think that
Seventh Street is just, like,
a way cooler area.
Honey, did you get that iPad?
Yeah, it was in your dresser,
not on it.
Jordan? Can you please
come down here? I need it.
Jordan, come down here,
right now.
Mom, I am grabbing
a charger, relax.
So what are you guys
gonna do tonight?
- LUCY: Jordan!
- (JORDAN SIGHS)
Oh, my God. Will you calm
down? I said I'm coming.
Now!
I'm gonna have to call you back.
My mom is being a total psycho.
(MUFFLED SCREAM)
No!
(JORDAN SHRIEKS)
- Mom.
- (GUN COCKS)
Put the fucking phone down
right now.
(GASPS) No.
Please. Please don't hurt her.
Don't hurt her, please!
Shh.
- Shh. Shh.
- (WHIMPERING)
Now here's
what's gonna happen.
Mom, you're gonna save me 20
minutes by opening the safe.
Okay.
Then I'm gonna tie you up
with your daughter,
so you won't be calling anyone
till we're long gone.
Okay.
Now if you could do that,
nobody gets hurt.
Okay.
- You understand me?
- Mmm-hmm.
KNOX: Go on.
Mom, Mom!
Don't hurt her.
Do not hurt her.
Oh, that's entirely up to you.
- It's okay, Mom.
- Just do it. Just go.
Tie her up.
No fucking games.
We need to move.
THE FISH: Hey.
Hey, no fucking games.
What, are you deaf?
Put that thing away.
(CHUCKLES)
All right, man. Relax.
- JOE: Jesus.
- THE FISH: Just fucking watch her.
My husband has two watches,
there's cash...
You can take it all.
Whatever you want.
That's nice. Thank you.
Where's the rope, girl?
Check the garage.
(GRUNTS)
KNOX: Don't get amnesia on me.
I'm sorry.
I'm just not used to doing it
with a gun pointed at me.
Yeah, well, get used to it.
(MURMURS INDISTINCTLY)
You play sports?
You look like
you play sports.
JORDAN: No.
- JOE: Shh.
- JORDAN: No, no, stop.
Did you say something?
JORDAN: Please don't.
Please don't.
(SIGHS)
(MUTTERING INDISTINCTLY)
Oh, you can do it.
And then we're done.
JOE: Goddamn, you're strong.
- (WHIMPERING)
- That's good.
JORDAN: No.
- No, no, no.
- JORDAN: Please.
It's nice.
It's nice. It's good.
I got it.
Hey. Hey, what the fuck
is your rush, bro?
We don't have time
for this shit.
Just give me
two fucking minutes, please.
I'm begging you,
two minutes, please.
It's not that kind of a party,
all right?
Why don't you just stop being
such a fucking pussy?
THE FISH: What the fuck?
What the fuck, man?
JOE: God damn it!
Fuck!
- (JOE YELLING)
- (PANTING)
Fuck! God damn it!
- You motherfucker!
- LUCY: No!
- No! No!
- The fuck are you doing?
She cut my fucking face!
She can see your fucking face!
JORDAN: Mom!
(SCREAMING)
Jordan, run!
Fuck it.
(GUNSHOTS)
PA ANNOUNCER: Trauma,
two incoming, Level One.
Female, 17,
basal skull fracture.
Female, 43,
gunshot wound to the chest.
Dr. Simone, would you mind
closing, please?
DR. SIMONE: Yes, doctor.
Put her on the monitor.
Get two IV's and put her on oxygen.
Yes.
SURGEON: Jordan, open your eyes.
Open your eyes, Jordan.
She needs to be intubated.
Prepare 100 milligrams of propofol...
Doc, hold up, man.
It's fine, it's fine.
Listen. Paul,
something's happened.
You can't go in there.
(INAUDIBLE)
Where are they?
Paul. Paul.
Where is she?
They took your daughter
up to surgery, doc.
Your wife's in Two.
Lucy!
Paul...
We did everything we could.
(VOICE BREAKS)
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
(SIGHS)
Baby.
Our passports,
Jordan's birth certificate,
$2,000 in cash...
My Stanford class ring,
two Panerai watches
on the desk.
JACKSON:
Can you describe the watches?
One was all black.
The other one... (INHALES)
It was a birthday present.
Silver and black.
Were there any firearms
in the house?
No.
A lot of these guys,
they break in looking for guns
'cause they're easy to sell.
I had a couple of assholes break
in to my house looking for mine.
So that's what
you think this was?
It was a robbery gone bad?
Well, there have been a string of
break-ins along the North Shore.
So we're looking
at the possibility.
You said string.
How many in this string?
Uh, six,
in the last nine months.
Six? Six robberies.
Did you know about this?
No, I didn't know about it.
What, you don't think
it's important enough
to tell the residents?
We post every crime
on the Neighborhood Watch.
If it's big enough,
the media picks it up and reports about it.
If not,
these are just burglaries.
Just burglaries.
Frank, that's not what he meant - No,
I'm just wondering,
if it's important enough now,
to go on their radar...
You're not helping.
RAINES: You guys,
it's been a long night.
I think we got enough
to start with.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
This is my card.
Thanks.
It's got my cell phone number
on there,
if you've got anything else.
Thank you, Detective Raines.
You know,
I... I get that you're upset.
We're upset, too.
But we're gonna
get these guys.
Again, I'm... I'm deeply
sorry for your loss.
- PAUL: Thank you.
- Thanks for your time.
Dr. Kersey, your daughter's
out of surgery.
SURGEON:
Her surgery went well.
She's still in a coma,
but she's stable.
They were able
to evacuate the hematoma
and remove
the bullet fragments.
I wish I had more to tell you.
So, I gotta take Mom home
to Grandpa today.
Uncle Frank's gonna take over
reading duties for now.
I love you so much.
Oh, so much, baby.
I'll see you soon, kiddo.
BEN: When Lucy's
mother passed,
she turned to me and said,
"Why did God take her
so soon?"
All I could say was,
"Honey, I don't know.
"I think
it's part of His plan.
"And we have to trust
His plan."
We used to come up here
and visit her and...
Well...
Now here I am.
And I'm seeing something
I was never meant to see.
How is this
part of His plan?
How is this part of any plan?
Thank you, Paul,
for bringing her home.
This is where she wanted
to be. With her mom.
One day, I'll join 'em.
There'll always be
a place here for you.
Thanks.
Have the police
gotten anywhere?
One of the neighbors saw three
repairmen in a white van.
The police seem
pretty confident.
(CAR HALTS)
POACHER: Oh, damn. Run!
Poachers! Come on!
POACHER: Go, go!
(PANTING)
People rely on the police
to keep them safe.
That's the problem.
The police only arrive
after the crime
has taken place.
That's like...
Trapping the fox
as he's comin' out
of the hen house.
If a man really wants
to protect what's his...
He has to do it for himself.
MANCOW: All right, this is
The Loop. I'm the Mancow.
7:15, a quarter past 7:00.
Good morning. Another great weekend here,
the city of death.
Forty-eight people shot
over the weekend.
Forty-eight
freaking people shot.
Thirteen dead. And this...
It's getting worse.
The numbers are up.
You wonder how much more
of this we can take.
RAINES: I'm sorry,
Dr. Kersey, nothing yet.
Nothing?
RAINES: Don't be alarmed.
It's not uncommon.
Forensics usually takes
a week or two.
Uh, same with informants.
Hey! (HONKS HORN)
I'm sorry. Some asshole's
trying to clean my windshield.
Hey, that's enough. Go on.
(SCOFFS) Run 'em over.
Doesn't count as a crime.
I can do that?
Look, I have someone
in my office right now,
but Detective Jackson and I
are all over this, okay?
PAUL: Hey! That's it!
We'll get back to you as soon
as we have more information.
- Come on! Just do something.
- Yep.
- Fuck you!
- Yes, fuck me.
Spare some change, man?
Come on, man.
SOPHIE: "Normative economics
and the art of economics,
"on the other hand,
cannot be independent
"of positive economics.
"Any policy conclusion..."
Sophie.
- Hi.
- Dr. Kersey, hi.
The nurses let me
come in here.
No, it's okay.
I'm glad you're here.
How are you doing?
I'm okay. How are you?
Doing okay. Thank you.
What are you reading?
Um, Essays in Positive
Economics by Milton Friedman.
I'm not sure
that's gonna help her wake up.
(CHUCKLES)
Yeah, I know, it's boring.
Um...
But it's on
the NYU summer reading list
and I'm reading it
anyway, so...
I thought, I don't know,
maybe this way...
This way,
she won't get behind.
I can leave, if you want.
No, no. Stay. Stay.
It'd be good for her.
Dr. Kersey...
Do you think it helps?
I know it does.
I can't sleep on our bed.
So I sleep on the couch.
I watch TV until I pass out.
Even then I...
I'm just not
getting any sleep.
That's to be expected.
I can prescribe sleeping pills
if it gets worse.
I feel like I'm in purgatory.
I can't go back to work,
I can't be around my house.
When I was a kid,
I used to ride the trains
to avoid my father.
And I would
even do my homework then,
just to stay away from him.
So...
I've been doing that.
Just riding the trains...
Just to think.
I wish I could say everything
I see reminds me of Lucy.
But everything I see
reminds me of them.
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- The men I've never seen.
The men who came
and took her from me.
RAINES: (ON PHONE)
This is Detective Kevin Raines
of the Chicago Police
Department.
If this is an emergency,
please dial 911.
Otherwise,
please leave a message.
"It was a dream,
"and that he might wake up
at any moment..."
I thank God for Jordan.
"And as they went on,
hour after hour..."
I try to stay strong.
Good clean cut right there.
NEWSCASTER: With as many as
90 shootings in a week,
violent crime in Chicago
is now at a 20-year high,
while the police...
PAUL: It's hard to escape
the feeling that I failed.
Failed to protect my wife.
Failed to protect my daughter.
Failed at the most
important things a man does.
- Here you go, kid.
- Thanks, man.
PAUL: No. It's not a "U."
"E."
K-E-R-S-E-Y.
Right. Kersey.
MAN: Detective Raines
isn't in.
Would you like
to leave a message?
Yes.
This is a process.
And it's gonna take time.
Yeah, I know it's a process.
I'm just...
Starting to wonder
about the result, that's all.
RECEPTIONIST: Listen,
I understand the process
takes a little bit of time,
all right?
Just fill out all the boxes
on this application.
Take a seat,
and we'll get to you as soon as possible.
Hello, sir.
Fill out this application,
every single box, please.
(SIGHS)
(COUGHS)
Sir, can I help you?
Yeah, I'm here
to see Detective Raines.
Detective Raines. Do you have
an appointment, sir?
No. No, I don't.
My name is Paul Kersey.
K-U-R...
E-R...
- Sorry about that.
- It's all right.
Hey, Dr. Kersey.
Dr. Kersey, come on back.
Thank you. Thanks.
Buzz him in, Willy.
- Yeah.
- (DOOR BUZZES)
What about the DNA
in the blood and skin
from the guy that got burned?
We got that test back.
It didn't match anybody
in our database.
But we can use it
to put 'em there
when we get one in custody.
(PHONE RINGING)
Yeah, Raines.
Get a number,
I'll call him back.
(SIGHS)
CCA?
Cleared. Closed by arrest.
So all these other ones
are open cases?
Yep.
Most of these
are gang-related.
Just asshole-on-asshole
violence.
Some banger posts some shit
on social media
and they retaliate
with an AR-15.
(SCOFFS)
Last weekend,
a guy shot up a party.
One guy shoots 14 people,
no one sees anything.
They don't talk to the cops,
that's why these stay open.
Point is,
your wife's case is different.
You wanna have a seat?
PAUL: Thanks.
I mean, that's three burglars
who panicked.
I guarantee
at least one of 'em
is shittin' himself somewhere.
He's got a friend
who's gonna get picked up
on something unrelated.
He's gonna sell his buddy down
the river for his own freedom.
Okay?
I've seen guys
turn in their own mother.
What if I offered
some kind of reward?
We'll just get flooded
with false leads.
Me and my partner
are gonna have to
waste time tracking 'em down.
What about
a private investigator?
PI's good for cheating spouses,
missing persons...
But murder case,
they'll just take your money.
They can't get involved
in a police investigation.
It's tampering with evidence,
they could lose their license.
So there's nothing
that I can do.
Is that what you're saying?
You can have faith.
How'd faith

Come on down to Jolly Roger's.
We've got some badass deals

Ooh, and right now,
we have a special

Surprise 'em.
Okay, here's a good one

No, no, hold it, son.

Uh, yeah.
It can be

I'll say.
Don't worry, I got your back.
I'm Bethany.
- Hi.
- Welcome to Jolly Roger's.
Come on back,
let me show you around.
So over here we have
all of our bladed weapons.
Behind me on this wall
are all of our rifles.
Each one comes with
a free case and two PMAGs.
And if you follow me
over here,
all of our new pistols
are over there.
And all of our used weapons
are right here.
- Used?
- Oh. (CHUCKLES)
Not used in crimes, obviously.
But, you know, used.
Now, personally,
for taking care of business,
my very favorite
is right over here.
PAUL: Forgive me for asking,
but what is the process for all of this?
There must be a lot of paperwork, right?
Oh. (BLOWS RASPBERRY)
(CHUCKLES) Don't even worry.
We'll get you set up with your
FOID application right here today.
State Police send it
pretty quick.
And then you'll just have to
take a gun safety class,
(WHISPERS) but don't worry,
no one ever fails.
You can do that anytime
within 30 days
of the time period you're
waiting for your city permit.
And then it's just 72 hours,
and you're cocked, locked,
and ready to rock.
Ooh, and we can set you up
with a gun safe.
If someone ever steals
that gun,
those bullets can be traced
right back to you.
I'm gonna think about it...
And I'll come back.
Great, just ask for Bethany.

He saved my life.
Like a guardian angel.
NATASHA:
I heard that girl screaming
and then I heard
tires squealing,
a whole bunch of shots
and then a crash.
What about the shooter?
He looked like a white dude.
He had a hoodie.
It's the same description
the couple gave outside.
White guy in a hoodie.
They called him
a guardian angel.
(SCOFFS) Yeah, more like
a Grim Reaper.
I mean, did you see how
he stood over that guy
and shot him?
That shit was cold.
Did you see his face?
Mmm-mmm.
How about marks
on his arms or tattoos?
Mmm-mmm.
So nothing
that can help us?
It was dark.
He was shooting.
Um...
He kept waving his hand
around like this.
Like his hand got shot?
I don't know.
Watch the video.
I mean, you've seen
as much as I did.
(GUNSHOTS)
- JACKSON: There!
- RAINES: Yeah.
It doesn't look like
it was shot.
Hmm.
No, that is the slide
kicking back
and cutting his hand
because he doesn't know
how to hold a gun.
So we're looking for a guy
who never fired a gun?
Well, not in anger.
- Well, he has now.

Natasha, listen,
we're gonna need you to

MANCOW: (ON RADIO)
The water cooler talk today
on the Mancow Show
is everybody is watching
this video,
this viral video
of this guy in a hoodie.
They're calling him
the Grim Reaper
that shot these bad guys,
these carjackers,
according to witnesses.
Right or wrong, I don't know.
Good or bad, I don't know.
I go back and forth on it.
Is he a hero or a zero?
That's the debate.
We got calls coming in.
The phones are lit up
like a Christmas tree.
I say the guy's,
and some people
are mad at me...
I say the guy's a hero.
He stopped the carjacking.
COHOST: He is a hero.
MANCOW: Is he a hero or is he a zero?
What do you think, Chicago?
Call us right now.
It's the Mancow.
And we wanna hear from you.
He saw somebody
about to getjacked,
and a black couple at that?
Power to the Grim Reaper.
Yeah, but I don't know
about that.
I don't know.
And maybe that's the question
we put out to the listeners.
Okay.
Is he right for taking the law
into his own hands,
or is it wrong?
Give us a call.
Sway in the Morning. Shade 45.

Hi, Tyler. I'm Dr. Kersey.
I'm here to look at your wound.
Is that all right?
I have my little

Let's take a look.
That must've hurt.
A LeBron fan?
Me?
I'll always be a Jordan guy.
He had swagger, he had style,
he could fly through the air.
Still, LeBron might be
the best ever.
- Maybe.
- Yeah.
You got caught
in some crossfire?
The Ice Cream Man done it.
The Ice Cream Man?
Can't walk to school

Nah.
He said next time,

- Thanks.
- WITNESS: He was not short.
- JACKSON: Fat? Skinny?
WITNESS: He was taller

I don't know.
He just went over there...
He was just some white guy.
Let me guess,
white guy with a hoodie?
Yeah, exactly.
White guy with a hoodie.
Fucking bullshit.
Nine witnesses, one story.
The Grim Reaper.
They say
he didn't take anything.
Just walked up,
shot the victim and left.
That's Ray Shawn Core.
Multiple drug offenses suspect
and three shootings.

You really think
it's the same shooter?

a vigilante in Chicago?
Rumors are circulating
after the second shooting
of a known criminal
in as many days.

for this man,
the Chicago Grim Reaper.
Described as a white male
in his mid to late 30s.
(PAUL CHUCKLES)
This is straight
out of a comic book.
This dude has gotten so bold.
Grim Reaper has taken out
the Ice Cream Man.
COHOST: I might as well
get a hoodie and just
start doin' somethin'
and fighting crime...
MANCOW: The Grim Reaper
isn't part of the problem.
The Ice Cream Man, the drug dealer,
is part of the problem.
You're gonna side
with The Ice Cream Man?
SWAY: You got a white guy
in a hoodie
killing black people.
You don't have a problem
with that?
- This is a drug dealer.
- Hmm.
I mean, he's making it hard
for the people
that live on that very block.
Don't we need people
like this Grim Reaper
to keep the monsters at bay?
It's a slippery slope.
So now everyone's just gonna take
the law into their own hands,
kill somebody that they think
is doing something wrong.
WKQQ NEWSCASTER:
If you have any information,
you're asked to call this number
and contact the Chicago Police.
I'm getting calls
from Houston,
Detroit, New York.
Everybody's nervous about
a copycat. Where are we?
Well, we assume
the carjacking was random.
Mmm-hmm.
And our subject was just in the
wrong place at the wrong time.
- But he got a taste for it.
- Mmm-hmm.
So we were trying
to figure out
how he selected
the second victim.
- The drug dealer.
- Mmm-hmm.
RAINES: Oh, we also know
he's left-handed.
Um, and we're pretty sure
he's not in the system.
We figured that out
after the first shooting.
Um, he had
a lack of basic weapon skills.
To say the least.
Wow. Great.
You got it narrowed down
to about a million suspects.
Detectives,
get off your fucking asses!
He's pissed.

where we're gonna start looking
for our white needle
in the haystack?
Not where.
But when.
I mean, why now?

that set off our Mr. Reaper?
You look much better.
Thank you.
I feel much better.

He's a real hero

in your neighborhood.
Clearly, if he didn't
just kill somebody,
I don't know what he did.
I still stand by
my point that
we're normalizing

What did he say?
Well, unfortunately,

But we did find this ring

That's my ring.

You know,
the kind of guy that could
put word out
he would pay for info.
Would want to
execute our suspects.
A real do-it-himself
kind of guy.
So you think I had something
to do with it, huh?
Well, you should talk
to my brother.
He'll tell you
that I don't pay for shit.
Of course. So, do you mind
if we see your hands?

- MAN: Hey!

Tragedy struck earlier this
evening in West Englewood,
where police think
a 49-year-old father of three
was killed
while trying to commit
vigilante justice.
Police believe
this was a copycat
of the so-called
"Chicago Grim Reaper."
A guy who went out,
tried to fight crime,
and ended up a victim himself.
Police are still looking
for the shooter.

you're looking for me.
That's right.
Come to Blowout.
Last club off Ashland.
I'll be waiting.
Why would I do that?
Because it's safe. Public.
And I wanna tell you what
your wife's last words were.
You have 30 minutes.

Shooting at a club downtown.
Guy in a hoodie
pulled out a gun,
then got shot himself.
Ran out in the crowd.
RAINES: Hey. Alert all the
local hospitals, all right?
Any gunshot wound
being treated,
a male, 40s or 50s,
give us a call!
DISPATCHER: County reports
they have no one
matching the shooter's
description.
One of the victims
is en route to Chicago North.
He says he saw the shooter.

What are you doing here?
What is this,
your little war room?
Don't you judge me!
I'm not judging you!
I'm worried about you!
You... You can't do this.
Paul, you're not a cop.
Then somebody has to do it!
My wife and daughter
just disappear.
And there's no consequences.
I did everything
I was supposed to do.
Everything.
I worked hard.
I obeyed the law.
I made a life for my family.
For my wife and daughter!
- And what?
- Just forget about that?
They're just gone now?
You need to leave now, Frank.
I don't want you

Hello, Frank.
We were expecting
your brother.
- Yeah, he's out. Dinner party.
- Why, what's up?
Well, he could be
in real trouble.
Believe or not,
we wanna help.
That's so sweet. I appreciate
your concern, Detective.
Like I said, when I see him,
I'll tell him.
That was some bullshit.
He's in there.
(JACKSON SIGHS)
But we're not
arresting the surgeon
without an ironclad proof.
Well, the good news is
I'm not a suspect anymore.
The bad news is
I'm not a suspect anymore.
Paul, this has to end.
It's gotta end, man.
I don't wanna have to bury you
next to your wife.
You're not gonna bury me.
All right.
We gotta figure this out
if you think there's anything
the cops can find.
There were cameras
in the club.
I kept my head down
the whole time.
Where's your car?
Near the hospital.
Okay, you gotta get it,
before the police
start checking tags.
- Okay.

Hey.
How's she doing?
Physically, I can take her
home in a week.
Mentally, she just found out
her mother died.
Jesus, Pauly.
It's a miracle though,
you know,
that we got her back.
It's a miracle.
It was a miracle.
All that matters now
is that...
You look after her.
Yes, of course.
You, though. Her father.
I will.
Not this other thing,
not this other guy. You.
It's over.
It's over.
Okay.

you got everything?

NURSE RACHEL:
You got her, Dad?
I got it, Dad. I'm okay.

I can't believe
I have to leave in this,

You're not an invalid.
- Bye, Jordan.

I told you guys,
we'll call you
as soon as she
remembers something.
It's okay, Dad. Um...
I wanna help you guys,
I really do.
It's just that...
I don't remember anything
after going upstairs
to get the iPad.
Any little detail
you can remember
will really help us out
a lot, Jordan.
I don't remember a thing.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. Maybe over time,
you'll remember something.
Either way, we'll keep looking
for the guys.

Yeah.
That's nice.

Welcome to Jolly Roger's.
How can I help you?
I wanna buy a gun.
Don't I know you?
JORDAN: Yeah, I'm taking
Writing and History.
Mainly just
introduction classes.
I'm doing it online,
just a couple hours a day.
So that way,
I don't fall behind
when school starts next fall.
Well, that's smart.
You know, I think you're the
smartest one in the family.
So how's your therapy coming?
'Cause you look like
you're getting around better.
It's good. You know, boring.
I'm almost done,
but I just had to
teach my body
how to do basic things again.
It feels good
to have you home.
Feels good to be home.
KNOX: And that's him in the middle.
Him and the girl.
Good night, Uncle Frank.
Love you!
Okay, Frankie!
Dad, the kitchen's clean.
I'm going to bed.
Okay, honey.
Hey, can you
help me with this?
- Move this?
- Slide it down a little.
Yeah, just a little bit.
Mmm-hmm.
Why are you moving this?
Because I need you
to come over here.
I just saw somebody run by.
What do you mean you just saw
someone run by?
- You saw someone run by here?
- Yeah, I did. I did.
I want you to
get under the stairs.
Dad, why are you putting me
under the stairs?

you got both the cut

and the shot in the shoulder

That's what happened.
That's my story.
- (CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING)
- Hmm.
And the paperwork
for the pistols and the rifle?
You can call
Jolly Roger's Sporting Goods.
Ask for Bethany.
And you bought these guns...
The day my daughter came home.
Just in case something like
this ever happened again.
What about a Glock?
I had one for a while.
Decided to get rid of it.
Gone for good?
Yeah. Gone for good.
Well, I got everything I need.
Seems pretty straightforward.
Knox came back,
'cause he thought
Jordan could ID him.
And you defended your family
like any man would.
Thank you.
And Dr. Kersey,
stick to saving lives.
You're good at it.
I will.

I guess I always had it

that she'd go to Northwestern.
Someplace close.
Yeah. You think
my dad was happy
when I wanted to leave Texas
to go to college?
Well, this is different.
(CHUCKLES) How's it different?
It's just that now we are

That's a foul! Hey!
That was cleats up!

MAN 2: Really?
I guess I didn't think
it would happen so fast.
That's a bullshit pass,
Brianna. You know that!
I think we're gonna see her

Because we've got, um,
Thanksgiving,

And we get to go

You're gonna give yourself
a heart attack.
I wasn't talking to you,

No, as a matter of fact,
you were talking to everyone.
Just dial down the language,
there's kids here.
Or what?
Uh, Paul, come on.
I would just shut the fuck up
if I were you.
That's a good idea.
Why don't you do that?
Be me, and just shut the...
(MOUTHING) Fuck up.
You think that's funny?

Say it again.
Now you're quiet, huh?

(CHUCKLES) Oh, that's right.
Get your wife to defend you.
Pussy.
(LUCY SIGHS)
It's all right. All right.
Okay, so then the guy gets
right in Dad's face, okay?
And he starts shoving him and
it literally stops the game.
Spitting right in my face.
I had to get in
the middle of it.
I was gonna punch
the guy. Right?
Why didn't you
whoop this guy's butt?
Like in the old days.
Thank God your mom came over.
Wait, Dad, the "old days"?
- Yeah, your dad was a scrapper.
- PAUL: Yeah, I was a scrapper.
Really?
You never told me that!
He would've,
back in the day.
Tell her. Tell her.
- I used to fight my dad.
- Oh.
PAUL: Fighting all the time.
You know, he was screaming
and crying in the house.
And guess who was crying?
Me. I lost every fight.
- Terrible.
- I still love you, Dad.
You should take Krav Maga.
You study that.
This way, when you go
to college, and these guys,
when they get a little too aggressive
with you, you know what to do.
Don't look at me like I don't
know what I'm talking about.
No, no. Yeah, I'm just saying,
like, maybe I already know it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
- LUCY: Jordan!
- PAUL: All right, all right.
I tapped out.
Seriously, she trains Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday,

- I'm training.
And I actually found
a boxing gym in Tribeca
that all
the supermodels go to.
So I'm gonna start
going there.
(CHUCKLES)
And speaking of college,
how about your PhD?
Oh, that's very nice of you

How about that?
Yes, 15 years in the making,
I am soon to be a doctor.

What? Two grand, what?
Hey, man.
You know, I've been convicted

Terry has a 104 fever.
So, no birthday dinner

LUCY: Mmm-mmm.
I'll go tell Uncle Frank.

I just had my heart set

(RAP MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO)

Why can't we just Postmates
La Fonda? It's so much easier.
Our cake is gonna be
so much better
because we're gonna make it
with love.
Yeah, but La Fonda makes it
with love.
And we know that
Dad already loves it,
so it's kind of a win-win.
No, it's his birthday.
He's gonna love knowing that
we actually made the effort.
We did the work.
So we can make the effort
to dirty up the kitchen,
and then when he gets home,
we just pretend that we cooked all night.
Honey, we're making the cake.
Honey, could you get me
my iPad?
I think it's upstairs
on the nightstand.
Sure.
Thank you.
Hi, Soph.
I can't hear you.
(CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)
Okay, so I've narrowed it down
to two options.
I'm thinking either
Third North or Seventh Street.
Third North
has bigger bedrooms
but I think that
Seventh Street is just, like,
a way cooler area.
Honey, did you get that iPad?
Yeah, it was in your dresser,
not on it.
Jordan? Can you please
come down here? I need it.
Jordan, come down here,
right now.
Mom, I am grabbing

Now here's
what's gonna happen.
Mom, you're gonna save me 20
minutes by opening the safe.
Okay.
Then I'm gonna tie you up
with your daughter,
so you won't be calling anyone
till we're long gone.
Okay.
Now if you could do that,
nobody gets hurt.
Okay.
- You understand me?
- Mmm-hmm.
KNOX: Go on.
Mom, Mom!
Don't hurt her.
Do not hurt her.
Oh, that's entirely up to you.

Tie her up.
No fucking games.
We need to move.

I'm sorry.
I'm just not used to doing it

Yeah, well, get used to it.

You look like
you play sports.
JORDAN: No.
- JOE: Shh.
- JORDAN: No, no, stop.
Did you say something?
JORDAN: Please don't.
Please don't.
(SIGHS)
(MUTTERING INDISTINCTLY)
Oh, you can do it.
And then we're done.
JOE: Goddamn, you're strong.
- (WHIMPERING)
- That's good.
JORDAN: No.
- No, no, no.
- JORDAN: Please.
It's nice.
It's nice. It's good.
I got it.
Hey. Hey, what the fuck
is your rush, bro?
We don't have time
for this shit.
Just give me
two fucking minutes, please.
I'm begging you,
two minutes, please.
It's not that kind of a party,
all right?
Why don't you just stop being
such a fucking pussy?
THE FISH: What the fuck?
What the fuck, man?
JOE: God damn it!
Fuck!
- (JOE YELLING)
- (PANTING)
Fuck! God damn it!
- You motherfucker!
- LUCY: No!
- No! No!
- The fuck are you doing?
She cut my fucking face!
She can see your fucking face!
JORDAN: Mom!
(SCREAMING)
Jordan, run!
Fuck it.
(GUNSHOTS)
PA ANNOUNCER: Trauma,
two incoming, Level One.
Female, 17,
basal skull fracture.
Female, 43,
gunshot wound to the chest.
Dr. Simone, would you mind
closing, please?
DR. SIMONE: Yes, doctor.
Put her on the monitor.
Get two IV's and put her on oxygen.
Yes.
SURGEON: Jordan, open your eyes.
Open your eyes, Jordan.
She needs to be intubated.
Prepare 100 milligrams of propofol...
Doc, hold up, man.
It's fine, it's fine.
Listen. Paul,
something's happened.
You can't go in there.
(INAUDIBLE)
Where are they?
Paul. Paul.
Where is she?
They took your daughter
up to surgery, doc.
Your wife's in Two.
Lucy!
Paul...
We did everything we could.
(VOICE BREAKS)
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
(SIGHS)
Baby.
Our passports,
Jordan's birth certificate,
$2,000 in cash...
My Stanford class ring,
two Panerai watches
on the desk.
JACKSON:
Can you describe the watches?
One was all black.
The other one... (INHALES)
It was a birthday present.
Silver and black.
Were there any firearms
in the house?
No.
A lot of these guys,
they break in looking for guns
'cause they're easy to sell.
I had a couple of assholes break
in to my house looking for mine.
So that's what
you think this was?
It was a robbery gone bad?
Well, there have been a string of
break-ins along the North Shore.
So we're looking
at the possibility.
You said string.
How many in this string?
Uh, six,
in the last nine months.
Six? Six robberies.
Did you know about this?
No, I didn't know about it.
What, you don't think
it's important enough
to tell the residents?
We post every crime
on the Neighborhood Watch.
If it's big enough,
the media picks it up and reports about it.
If not,
these are just burglaries.
Just burglaries.
Frank, that's not what he meant - No,
I'm just wondering,
if it's important enough now,
to go on their radar...
You're not helping.
RAINES: You guys,
it's been a long night.
I think we got enough
to start with.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
This is my card.
Thanks.
It's got my cell phone number
on there,
if you've got anything else.
Thank you, Detective Raines.
You know,
I... I get that you're upset.
We're upset, too.
But we're gonna
get these guys.
Again, I'm... I'm deeply
sorry for your loss.
- PAUL: Thank you.
- Thanks for your time.
Dr. Kersey, your daughter's
out of surgery.
SURGEON:
Her surgery went well.
She's still in a coma,
but she's stable.
They were able
to evacuate the hematoma
and remove
the bullet fragments.
I wish I had more to tell you.
So, I gotta take Mom home
to Grandpa today.
Uncle Frank's gonna take over
reading duties for now.
I love you so much.
Oh, so much, baby.
I'll see you soon, kiddo.
BEN: When Lucy's
mother passed,
she turned to me and said,
"Why did God take her
so soon?"
All I could say was,
"Honey, I don't know.
"I think
it's part of His plan.
"And we have to trust
His plan."
We used to come up here
and visit her and...
Well...
Now here I am.
And I'm seeing something
I was never meant to see.
How is this
part of His plan?
How is this part of any plan?
Thank you, Paul,
for bringing her home.
This is where she wanted
to be. With her mom.
One day, I'll join 'em.
There'll always be
a place here for you.
Thanks.
Have the police
gotten anywhere?
One of the neighbors saw three
repairmen in a white van.
The police seem
pretty confident.
(CAR HALTS)
POACHER: Oh, damn. Run!
Poachers! Come on!
POACHER: Go, go!
(PANTING)
People rely on the police
to keep them safe.
That's the problem.
The police only arrive
after the crime
has taken place.
That's like...
Trapping the fox
as he's comin' out
of the hen house.
If a man really wants
to protect what's his...
He has to do it for himself.
MANCOW: All right, this is
The Loop. I'm the Mancow.
7:15, a quarter past 7:00.
Good morning. Another great weekend here,
the city of death.
Forty-eight people shot
over the weekend.
Forty-eight
freaking people shot.
Thirteen dead. And this...
It's getting worse.
The numbers are up.
You wonder how much more
of this we can take.
RAINES: I'm sorry,
Dr. Kersey, nothing yet.
Nothing?
RAINES: Don't be alarmed.
It's not uncommon.
Forensics usually takes
a week or two.
Uh, same with informants.
Hey! (HONKS HORN)
I'm sorry. Some asshole's
trying to clean my windshield.
Hey, that's enough. Go on.
(SCOFFS) Run 'em over.
Doesn't count as a crime.
I can do that?
Look, I have someone
in my office right now,
but Detective Jackson and I
are all over this, okay?
PAUL: Hey! That's it!
We'll get back to you as soon
as we have more information.
- Come on! Just do something.
- Yep.
- Fuck you!
- Yes, fuck me.
Spare some change, man?
Come on, man.
SOPHIE: "Normative economics
and the art of economics,
"on the other hand,

"Any policy conclusion..."
Sophie.
- Hi.
- Dr. Kersey, hi.
The nurses let me
come in here.
No, it's okay.
I'm glad you're here.
How are you doing?
I'm okay. How are you?
Doing okay. Thank you.
What are you reading?
Um, Essays in Positive
Economics by Milton Friedman.
I'm not sure
that's gonna help her wake up.
(CHUCKLES)
Yeah, I know, it's boring.
Um...
But it's on
the NYU summer reading list
and I'm reading it
anyway, so...
I thought, I don't know,
maybe this way...
This way,
she won't get behind.
I can leave, if you want.
No, no. Stay. Stay.
It'd be good for her.
Dr. Kersey...
Do you think it helps?
I know it does.
I can't sleep on our bed.
So I sleep on the couch.
I watch TV until I pass out.
Even then I...
I'm just not
getting any sleep.
That's to be expected.
I can prescribe sleeping pills
if it gets worse.
I feel like I'm in purgatory.
I can't go back to work,
I can't be around my house.
When I was a kid,
I used to ride the trains
to avoid my father.
And I would
even do my homework then,
just to stay away from him.
So...
I've been doing that.
Just riding the trains...
Just to think.
I wish I could say everything
I see reminds me of Lucy.
But everything I see
reminds me of them.
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- The men I've never seen.
The men who came
and took her from me.
RAINES: (ON PHONE)
This is Detective Kevin Raines
of the Chicago Police
Department.
If this is an emergency,
please dial 911.
Otherwise,
please leave a message.
"It was a dream,
"and that he might wake up
at any moment..."
I thank God for Jordan.
"And as they went on,
hour after hour..."
I try to stay strong.
Good clean cut right there.
NEWSCASTER: With as many as
90 shootings in a week,
violent crime in Chicago
is now at a 20-year high,
while the police...
PAUL: It's hard to escape
the feeling that I failed.
Failed to protect my wife.
Failed to protect my daughter.
Failed at the most
important things a man does.
- Here you go, kid.
- Thanks, man.
PAUL: No. It's not a "U."
"E."
K-E-R-S-E-Y.
Right. Kersey.
MAN: Detective Raines
isn't in.
Would you like
to leave a message?
Yes.
This is a process.
And it's gonna take time.
Yeah, I know it's a process.
I'm just...
Starting to wonder
about the result, that's all.
RECEPTIONIST: Listen,
I understand the process
takes a little bit of time,
all right?
Just fill out all the boxes
on this application.
Take a seat,
and we'll get to you as soon as possible.
Hello, sir.
Fill out this application,
every single box, please.
(SIGHS)
(COUGHS)
Sir, can I help you?
Yeah, I'm here
to see Detective Raines.
Detective Raines. Do you have
an appointment, sir?
No. No, I don't.
My name is Paul Kersey.
K-U-R...
E-R...
- Sorry about that.
- It's all right.
Hey, Dr. Kersey.
Dr. Kersey, come on back.
Thank you. Thanks.
Buzz him in, Willy.
- Yeah.
- (DOOR BUZZES)
What about the DNA
in the blood and skin
from the guy that got burned?
We got that test back.
It didn't match anybody
in our database.
But we can use it
to put 'em there
when we get one in custody.
(PHONE RINGING)
Yeah, Raines.
Get a number,
I'll call him back.
(SIGHS)
CCA?
Cleared. Closed by arrest.
So all these other ones
are open cases?
Yep.
Most of these
are gang-related.
Just asshole-on-asshole
violence.
Some banger posts some shit
on social media
and they retaliate
with an AR-15.
(SCOFFS)
Last weekend,
a guy shot up a party.
One guy shoots 14 people,
no one sees anything.
They don't talk to the cops,
that's why these stay open.
Point is,
your wife's case is different.
You wanna have a seat?
PAUL: Thanks.
I mean, that's three burglars
who panicked.
I guarantee
at least one of 'em
is shittin' himself somewhere.
He's got a friend
who's gonna get picked up
on something unrelated.
He's gonna sell his buddy down
the river for his own freedom.
Okay?
I've seen guys
turn in their own mother.
What if I offered
some kind of reward?
We'll just get flooded
with false leads.
Me and my partner
are gonna have to
waste time tracking 'em down.
What about
a private investigator?
PI's good for cheating spouses,
missing persons...
But murder case,
they'll just take your money.
They can't get involved
in a police investigation.
It's tampering with evidence,
they could lose their license.
So there's nothing
that I can do.
Is that what you're saying?
You can have faith.
How'd faith
work out for them?

No, no, hold it, son.

Uh, yeah.
It can be
pretty overwhelming at first.
I'll say.
Don't worry, I got your back.
I'm Bethany.
- Hi.
- Welcome to Jolly Roger's.
Come on back,
let me show you around.
So over here we have
all of our bladed weapons.
Behind me on this wall
are all of our rifles.
Each one comes with
a free case and two PMAGs.
And if you follow me
over here,
all of our new pistols
are over there.
And all of our used weapons
are right here.
- Used?
- Oh. (CHUCKLES)
Not used in crimes, obviously.
But, you know, used.
Now, personally,
for taking care of business,
my very favorite
is right over here.
PAUL: Forgive me for asking,
but what is the process for all of this?
There must be a lot of paperwork, right?
Oh. (BLOWS RASPBERRY)
(CHUCKLES) Don't even worry.
We'll get you set up with your
FOID application right here today.
State Police send it
pretty quick.
And then you'll just have to
take a gun safety class,
(WHISPERS) but don't worry,
no one ever fails.
You can do that anytime
within 30 days
of the time period you're
waiting for your city permit.
And then it's just 72 hours,
and you're cocked, locked,
and ready to rock.
Ooh, and we can set you up
with a gun safe.
If someone ever steals
that gun,
those bullets can be traced
right back to you.
I'm gonna think about it...
And I'll come back.
Great, just ask for Bethany.

He just came out of nowhere.
He saved my life.
Like a guardian angel.
NATASHA:
I heard that girl screaming
and then I heard
tires squealing,
a whole bunch of shots
and then a crash.
What about the shooter?
He looked like a white dude.
He had a hoodie.
It's the same description
the couple gave outside.
White guy in a hoodie.
They called him
a guardian angel.
(SCOFFS) Yeah, more like
a Grim Reaper.
I mean, did you see how
he stood over that guy
and shot him?
That shit was cold.
Did you see his face?
Mmm-mmm.
How about marks
on his arms or tattoos?
Mmm-mmm.
So nothing
that can help us?
It was dark.
He was shooting.
Um...
He kept waving his hand
around like this.
Like his hand got shot?
I don't know.
Watch the video.
I mean, you've seen
as much as I did.
(GUNSHOTS)
- JACKSON: There!
- RAINES: Yeah.
It doesn't look like
it was shot.
Hmm.
No, that is the slide
kicking back
and cutting his hand
because he doesn't know
how to hold a gun.
So we're looking for a guy
who never fired a gun?
Well, not in anger.
- Well, he has now.

we're gonna need you to

It is estimated that there was

The water cooler talk today
on the Mancow Show

this video,
this viral video

They're calling him
the Grim Reaper
that shot these bad guys,
these carjackers,
according to witnesses.
Right or wrong, I don't know.
Good or bad, I don't know.
I go back and forth on it.
Is he a hero or a zero?
That's the debate.
We got calls coming in.
The phones are lit up
like a Christmas tree.
I say the guy's,
and some people
are mad at me...
I say the guy's a hero.
He stopped the carjacking.
COHOST: He is a hero.
MANCOW: Is he a hero or is he a zero?
What do you think, Chicago?
Call us right now.
It's the Mancow.
And we wanna hear from you.
He saw somebody
about to getjacked,
and a black couple at that?
Power to the Grim Reaper.
Yeah, but I don't know
about that.
I don't know.
And maybe that's the question
we put out to the listeners.
Okay.
Is he right for taking the law
into his own hands,
or is it wrong?
Give us a call.
Sway in the Morning. Shade 45.

Hi, Tyler. I'm Dr. Kersey.

Let's take a look.
That must've hurt.
A LeBron fan?

I'll always be a Jordan guy.
He had swagger, he had style,
he could fly through the air.
Still, LeBron might be
the best ever.
- Maybe.
- Yeah.
You got caught
in some crossfire?
The Ice Cream Man done it.
The Ice Cream Man?
Can't walk to school
if you don't work for him.

Nah.

Of course I got mine,

I don't know.
He just went over there...
He was just some white guy.
Let me guess,
white guy with a hoodie?
Yeah, exactly.
White guy with a hoodie.
Fucking bullshit.
Nine witnesses, one story.
The Grim Reaper.
They say
he didn't take anything.

shot the victim and left.
That's Ray Shawn Core.

it's the same shooter?

Rumors are circulating
after the second shooting
of a known criminal
in as many days.
Police are looking
for this man,
the Chicago Grim Reaper.
Described as a white male
in his mid to late 30s.
(PAUL CHUCKLES)
This is straight
out of a comic book.
This dude has gotten so bold.
Grim Reaper has taken out
the Ice Cream Man.
COHOST: I might as well
get a hoodie and just
start doin' somethin'
and fighting crime...
MANCOW: The Grim Reaper
isn't part of the problem.
The Ice Cream Man, the drug dealer,
is part of the problem.
You're gonna side
with The Ice Cream Man?
SWAY: You got a white guy
in a hoodie
killing black people.
You don't have a problem
with that?
- This is a drug dealer.
- Hmm.
I mean, he's making it hard
for the people
that live on that very block.
Don't we need people
like this Grim Reaper
to keep the monsters at bay?
It's a slippery slope.
So now everyone's just gonna take
the law into their own hands,
kill somebody that they think
is doing something wrong.
WKQQ NEWSCASTER:
If you have any information,
you're asked to call this number
and contact the Chicago Police.
I'm getting calls
from Houston,
Detroit, New York.
Everybody's nervous about
a copycat. Where are we?
Well, we assume
the carjacking was random.
Mmm-hmm.
And our subject was just in the
wrong place at the wrong time.
- But he got a taste for it.
- Mmm-hmm.
So we were trying
to figure out
how he selected
the second victim.
- The drug dealer.
- Mmm-hmm.
RAINES: Oh, we also know
he's left-handed.
Um, and we're pretty sure
he's not in the system.
We figured that out
after the first shooting.
Um, he had
a lack of basic weapon skills.
To say the least.
Wow. Great.
You got it narrowed down
to about a million suspects.
Detectives,
get off your fucking asses!
He's pissed.
JACKSON: You wanna tell me
where we're gonna start looking
for our white needle
in the haystack?
Not where.
But when.
I mean, why now?
What, uh...
Lit the fuse
that set off our Mr. Reaper?
You look much better.
Thank you.
I feel much better.
You exercising?
I do my push-ups.
Mmm-hmm. Good.

Mmm...
Not so much.

Yeah, yeah. Look, I'm sorry,

Miguel sent me.
Who the fuck is Miguel?
He works as a valet

He's got an MJ tattooed

He said you could help me

He works for you?
Yes.

Yes.

So, uh...
Is this a "thanks for

Neither.
So you're looking
for something...

Very specific.
Well, how specific
are we talking?
Panerai watches.
You got any of those?
Well, why don't you just

I don't know the other guys.
I told you!
- Shut up. Shut up. Shut up.

I don't organize it by house,

Or are you gonna tell me where my shit is?
It's here.
Where is it? I'm gonna blow

The Grim Reaper strikes again.
This time
in the Pilsen neighborhood.
In front of this liquor store,
which was a fencing operation
for stolen goods.
Not anymore,
when last night,
the Grim Reaper
paid them a visit.
Dude, I look over, I see this dude
walking out, this old white dude,
and he's walking with his hood up,
looking super suspicious.
Just like, you know...
Kind of idolizing him.
Man, right now,
this dude is all over
the Internet, man.
- There's memes coming up.
- Get outta here.
Yeah, there's memes.
Like, people are making memes.
Look at this one right here.

Oh, that's too intense.
He's become a folk hero.
He's a real hero
to these people.
They're being affected
by all this crime
in their neighborhood.
As long as it's not
in your neighborhood.
Clearly, if he didn't
just kill somebody,
I don't know what he did.
I still stand by
my point that
we're normalizing
dangerous behavior.
You know? Should we be
policing ourselves
in our own neighborhoods...
I have said we need a guy
like Grim Reaper for years.
Are you Team Reaper or not?
Give us a call.

Oh, no.
Uh, something's
come to our attention.
We were hoping you could
offer some insight.
I'm happy to see you guys.
Have a seat.
- Thanks.
- Thank you.
Okay, um...
Have you ever seen this man?
PAUL: No.
Is he a suspect?
Well, his name is Tate Karp.
He goes by "The Fish."
He's a career burglar and,
we believe,
involved in
your wife's shooting.
How did you find him?
What did he say?
Well, unfortunately,
he was killed last night
before we had a chance
to question him.
But we did find this ring
at the crime scene.
That's my ring.
Yeah. That's what we thought.
Um, but this right here,
it's the break
we've been waiting for.
- It's great.
- JACKSON: Yeah.
Now that we have Karp,
it's just a matter of time
before we have
the rest of 'em.
We'll run through his priors,
see who he liked to work with,
subpoena his cell phone
records, his texts.
Even the phone's GPS.
Great. Do you need
anything else from me?
Appreciate that.
I think we're good for now.
Um... I know you've been

is who else was there.
Nobody.
(SHOUTS) Who else was there?
No one, man.

Knox! That's his name. Knox!
Knox. What's his full name?
I don't know
anything else, man!
His name is Knox
and he's from the South Side.
Look, Fish planned
the whole fucking thing!
I never met the guy before!
Where do I find Knox?
You don't. He finds you.
- Joe.
- I don't know anything else!
I swear to fucking God!
I have no reason
to protect this asshole!
I don't even fucking know him!
You gotta believe me, please.
I fucking swear it!
I believe you, Joe.
I think you're gonna find
the propofol is wearing off.

No.

What happened?
So you want my autograph?
We just wanna talk.
All right.
Have you heard of this
Grim Reaper fellow
that people are talking about?
Yeah, yeah.
I heard about it.
Well, last night,
he went into a liquor store.
And he killed
one of the three men
that broke into
your brother's house.
Traffic cam caught him walking
in and out. White, fit...
- Lefty.
- Lefty. Yeah. He's a lefty.
So I ask myself, you know,
"What streetwise lefty
do I know?"
You know,
the kind of guy that could
put word out
he would pay for info.
Would want to
execute our suspects.
A real do-it-himself
kind of guy.
So you think I had something
to do with it, huh?
Well, you should talk
to my brother.
He'll tell you
that I don't pay for shit.
Of course. So, do you mind
if we see your hands?

this was a copycat
