[TV PLAYING INDISTINCTLY]
I'm telling you, I get plenty of food.
Saul and I go down
to every meal together.
It's not half bad.
You should meet Saul.
I met Saul last week.
He's a real nice guy, actually.
Huh.
He's no good with cards, though.
Yeah, well, you can teach him.
Just don't play with real money
and we're all good.
Hey, uh, where's that water filter?
I'll fill it for you.
Where where is that money?
Hmm?
Oh, the letter with the money.
[SIGHS] I, uh
I put that letter somewhere.
What letter?
About the money,
about the Florida account.
I just I I had it here.
I I I I just
it was right here.
Well, OK. What account?
I
I don't think I paid everybody up yet.
What do you mean?
Who do you need to pay?
- The
- You don't owe anyone money.
No, the no, the fishing, the fishing.
We paid for all that fishing
off the coast.
We gotta we gotta make
that trip, you know,
with the the king mackerel.
Yeah, we took the trip.
So what what account are
you talking about?
F-Florida.
OK, Florida account.
Because we paid all
the accounts in Florida.
You don't owe anyone, right?
Pops? Do you owe someone?
Was it, like, a bill or something?
No. No, no, no.
It's just it's just
this makes me a little nervous.
I don't remember taking the trip.
I know it was off the coast of Destin.
That is a pretty stretch
down there, by the way, Destin.
Oh, yeah.
World's luckiest fishing town.
Oh, you know,
I always caught worst there.
Luck saw me coming, swam the other way.
What are you looking for?
[SIGHS] Nothing.
[SIGHS]
[SIGHS]
- Hey, Sonya.
- Hey, hon.
- Hey.
- Have a good visit?
Yes, ma'am. I got a quick
question for you, though.
Hey, my dad, he, uh
he mentioned
getting some mail from a bank.
Get anything lately?
Hmm. All the mail would have
been sorted out front.
Well, I didn't see anything.
But he hasn't mentioned owing anybody?
No. The only thing that man talks about
is your wedding coming up
and his grandbabies.
[CHUCKLES] He's got
his priorities straight.
Why? Is there something you
want me to keep an eye on?
No, no, I'm probably
making too much of it.
Probably just one of those days
for him, you know?
- Hmm.
- You have a good night.
All right. Be careful going home.
That cold front's got
the roads covered in black ice.
I heard. Only in Chicago, right?
Never know what spring's
gonna bring for you.
You get home safe, too, OK?
Good night, Walter.
The unexpected cold front is
expected to hang around
until Tuesday with temperatures
Are currently out of the north
at 19 miles per hour.

No, he wasn't here to jump. He slipped.
It's gotta be parked around
here somewhere, all right?
- Keep canvassing.
- Hey, Adam.
- [CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]
- Boss. Thank you.
I said we'd take it.
Medics check you?
So the man that went in the river,
he had a stab wound, lower left abdomen.
Big blade, too.
I mean, the guy was clearly attacked.
Adam.
Did they check you?
Yeah, yeah, sorry. I wasn't injured.
The body's not recovered?
No, not yet.
I was able to get his wallet
before he went under.
Name's Frank Bailey, 36 years old.
He lived in Logan Square.
So I don't know what
he was doing out here.
Sure as hell running from something.
- Ah.
- I announced I'm an officer.
I tried to calm him down.
It was like guy couldn't even hear me.
I thought he was drunk or stoned,
but I'm guessing it was
the loss of blood.
- Was there a blood trail?
- No, no, no.
The guy ran. He slipped, fell.
And I just couldn't hold him.
Anything?
No. There aren't any
street cams in the area.
And the PODs three blocks over,
I'm pulling them now.
And the closest businesses
were all closed for the night.
The hell was he doing out here?
Ah
All right, what else have we got on him?
Not much.
Worked for a software firm downtown.
He's got a wife, two kids.
There's actually
a picture of 'em in his wallet.
- One's a baby.
- Huh.
Hey, listen, I got Atwater and Cook.
They're surveilling
our long-term target.
I don't want to pull them.
Yeah.
We are going to work skeleton.
OK.
Let's see what the ME says
once the body's out of the water.
Yeah.
For now, just ID Frank's vehicle,
get a BOLO out,
run any in-service calls,
and start building a timeline.
I'll notify the wife.
I'll come with you.
All right.

Ms. Bailey,
we're gonna sit you down, OK?

Evelyn.
Do you wanna try and drink some water?
Do you know anyone that would
want to hurt your husband?
No. I don't know who would do this.
No one would do this. No, no, no.
You said he was working tonight?
Working. He's working late.
He's been working late
ever since the baby came.
Does he ever do anything after work?
Grab a drink? Run errands?
No, this can't be happening.
No. No, no, no.

Evelyn, we have family
liaison officers on their way.
Is there anybody that

Oh, my God. Oh, the baby.
Evelyn, why don't we sit, OK?
I feel like this is better, OK?

Clocked it in our canvas

Plates are a match for Frank's vehicle.

No, sir. His work

What's that building?
Asset Forfeiture's
got it registered to an LLC.
It's out of commission,
like most of the buildings
on this block.
- All right.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- Thanks, guys.
- Mm-hmm.
It sounds like an underground rave site.
Huh.
Cleared it out as quick
as we could, but these people
have been inside trampling
all over evidence for hours.
Everyone claims they
didn't see or hear anything.
[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]
We don't know who's running this?
No, not yet.
According to
the few sober people outside,
they get a message on social media
with the door code the day of the party.
Part of the allure.
You don't know who runs it.
- You don't know who'll be there.
- Huh.
We sent it all over to SOMEX and CPIC.
Hopefully they can
run the social media invites,
find the true owner.
And then this building?
It's registered to an LLC,
but it's buried in shells.
Asset Forfeiture has it.
Somebody gets stabbed,
leaves this trail of blood,
nobody sees anything?
- No.
- Huh.
So there's four rooms
just like this one.
Cheap mattress, goods used for sex.
Somebody took the sheets.
They're missing in all the rooms.
So is the trash.
Men and women outside are all claiming
they didn't even know
the rooms were down here,
so don't know
if they needed to be rented,
if they were free-for-all,
or just part of the party.
We're still working
on the camera outside.
Yeah, well, get
the blood comparison rushed.
Bring in every single person outside.
None of them leave until we clear them.
All right, boss.
♪
I spoke to Evelyn.
She has no idea why
her husband was there.
Says he'd never be at a party like that.
She's still claiming
that can't be right.
Yeah, well,
he wouldn't be the first person
to hide something from his partner.
Yeah, but this guy, I mean,
he he worked at the same firm
for years and was well-liked,
provided for his family.
And the man, he took his kids
to Daddy and Me music classes.
Got no debt.
Got nothing in his financials,
nothing on his phone.
None of it screams underground rave.
Wait, wait. Hold up. We got it.
OCD techs were able to pull
the footage from that camera.
- Great.
- OK.
Camera was being routed to a
monitor nearby and wasn't old.
It was probably set up for that party.
OK.
So Frank enters alone around 22:02 hours
and doesn't come back out
until 22:47 right here.
All right, who is this now?
Come on.
Come on, show your face.
Here we go. Here we go.
Head's down the entire time.
Wait, hold up.
They've got another timestamp flagged.
- Oh, those girls look young.
- [PHONE BUZZES]
Like younger than 18.
And they look high or drugged.
Detective Burgess.
And they're not moving on their own.
All those beds were
being used for sex trafficking.
I mean, that bag's gotta
contain all the sheets
and trash from those rooms.
They didn't want DNA evidence.
They didn't have time
to destroy the camera.
All right, so the girls
never look at the camera.
Can we follow the van?
All right, no plates,
but let me check the cams.
OK. Thanks. SOMEX got a hit
on Frank's social media.
He received a DM last night at 7:00 p.m.
with the address of the party
and a code to get inside.
DM said, "Glad you decided to go.
You'll have fun."
It was sent from a Steve Bartlett.
Why do I know that name?
Because we pulled him from the club.
He's downstairs in holding.
Hey, Dante, Keep chasing that van, yeah?
Yeah.
All right. Steve Bartlett, 36.
[PHONE BUZZES]
Used to work at the same firm as Frank.
No priors.
- Sorry.
- Yeah.
Yeah, this is Adam.
Yeah, what bank?
In Florida.
No. No, he didn't mention
closing any accounts.
He's got Alzheimer's.
Right. Did you hear what I just said?
You know what? Actually,
I'm at work right now.
I need to call you back.
[SIGHS] Thank you.
What was that?
Dad closed an account in Florida.
He owes a bunch of fees.
I thought we took care
of all the accounts.
We did, but apparently, there
was one we didn't know about.
[ELECTRONIC BEEP]
What's with the face?
I mean, what could it mean?
I don't know.
He just mentioned owing someone.
I doubt it's a good thing we don't know.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Yeah, it's been super fun down here.
They're all still coming off
of whatever they snorted
or injected last night.
Bartlett's the charmer at the end.
- Shut up!
- Yeah.
You already had your call.
You just don't remember it.
Steve Bartlett, step up to the bars.
The rest of you, stand back.
You can hear me. Stand back.
Hello, Steve.
You lied.
What?
Wait. What's going on?
Did someone bail me out?
My wife didn't find out I'm here, right?
Come on. Move your feet. Let's go.
- Wait. Do I need a lawyer?
- I don't know. Do you?
You do something wrong?
Wait, I think there's been
some kind of misunderstanding.
No, no. There's no misunderstanding.
You're the one who provided
Frank Bailey with the details
for last night's party.
Party that he was stabbed to death at.
And somehow you failed to
mention that to our officers.
[SIGHS] Hold on.
No, come on. It's not like that.
Did you see Frank get stabbed?
- No.
- Did you stab him?
What? No, no. I no.
I didn't even see Frank
for the whole night.
See, Steve, I don't believe you no more.
You lied to us once,
so you understand my predicament here?
No, no.
Frank asked me for the details
about the parties, the girls.
Oh, so you knew that
there would be girls there.
Look at me.
Hey.
Let's all be straight
with each other, OK?
You're a man with a family
and a good job.
And right now,
you're in a police district
being questioned for murder
and the sex trafficking
of underage females.
There it is. Yes, that's right.
You don't want to be here.
You don't want to be anywhere near this.
You don't want your life
to go up in flames.
Now, the easiest way to prevent that
is to just tell us the truth.
Right now, all of it.
You knew you could buy girls
at this party.
How did you know?
Oh, God.
Steve, I promise you,
you have to answer me right now.
It's a phone number.
To purchase these girls?
Yes.
It gets passed around.
Look, an old college buddy
forwarded it to me.
But I never used it.
I I just go to these things to party.
OK, OK. How does the number work?
You text it.
They tell you a time,
where to go at the party,
how much cash to bring.
Girls are downstairs.
- You never used the number?
- No.
No. I swear.
OK, so how many girls?
- How many men with them?
- I don't know.
I Steve, don't make me
ask you again now.
T-two men, OK?
They're like security.
Usually
[WHISPERS] Three or four girls.
You still have that number?
Steve, do you have the number?
It's in my phone.
It's under John.
Hey.
Hey.
Frank Bailey, he wanted that number?
He wanted to buy a girl?
Yeah.
Did Frank know how young they were?
Come on.
Got the number off
Steve Bartlett's phone.
That's it right there.
Got a full warrant. Thing's a burner.
We're running every number
that ever contacted it.
But the phone is on right now.
It's currently pinging at
this location in Wicker Park.
It's a small six-room building
owned by another LLC.
This one's just as
untraceable as the last.
Six rooms, one door in and out.
UC Vice cops are bedded down there now,
and the sprinter van's out front.
- Good.
- This is it.
Phone's GPS hit that spot
and our warehouse
at least half a dozen times this week.
Girls could be there right now
with our offender.
OK, UC cops got eyes on anyone?
No one's come in or out yet.
And we still got no idea who
owns these buildings,
who's running any of this,
the parties, the trafficking?
Nothing concrete, but boss,
we could swing for exigent.
All right,
I'll make it work with the ASA.
Just go.

You should get that checked out.
It's fine.
I mean, at least have them
clean it, Adam.
All right, I got an update.
No one inside
matches our offender's stats.
Two of the girls in the video are AWOL.
None of the girls or johns
have said a word yet.
- So we're nowhere?
- No.
We're gonna have to make time
to talk to my dad tomorrow
because I can't get this bank
to give me any answers.
They'll probably only talk to him.
Oh, well, he doesn't remember
what the account is for
or why he took all the money out, so.
Facility doesn't have any paperwork.
I mean, this is a problem from before,
not a problem from Florida.
Yeah. And we'll take care of it.
Yeah, Kim, this could be gambling debt.
He could owe someone. It could be bad.
- I mean, I don't know
- Adam.
What kind of problems
he's gonna leave us with.
You'll figure it out.
We don't know what any of this is yet.
Yeah.
Turn around. Let me look at that.
[RUZEK SIGHS] Adam.
I don't wanna tell this man's wife
the father of her two children died
while visiting an underage
sex trafficking victim.
I just
I don't wanna leave her with that.
I know.
- Anything new?
- No, no.
Johns have lawyered up.
The girls are stonewalling.
Security who gave you that cut
is giving us nothing.
Well, it seemed like
the girls had been
with these men a while.
I doubt they'll be giving us
anything anytime soon.
The building showed no sign
of the females living there.
Felt like a meet-up spot for the johns.
Mm.
Offender's gotta be
holding them elsewhere.
GPS in the van was disabled.
OK, so security is our best bet.
He had a burner phone
and $2,000 in his pocket.
- So we have leverage.
- ID says it's Anton Verimelli.
He's 32, no priors,
and rents an apartment
in Ravenswood with a female.
Might be his girlfriend.
I'm running his known associates now.
He's smart.
We got him on aggravated
battery of a police officer
and underage sex trafficking.
Him talking ain't gonna
lower those charges.
So go hit Anton's place. Rip it apart.
See if you can find more leverage.
Meanwhile, we'll keep digging.
[SIGHS]
There's nothing to find.
Yeah, we heard you the first time.
May I?
I don't know what you think
you'll be finding.
Drugs? Weapons?
We're not into any of that.
You know what your boyfriend
does for a living?
You know he runs girls?
You want to keep defending him?
Remember me?
Found that in your girlfriend's closet.
She bought it last week.
She's got a doctor's
appointment next week.
Wanted the doctor to confirm
before she told you
'cause she knew how
excited you would be,
wanted to make sure that it was real.
You're lying.
- I'm not.
- You're allowed to lie to me.
I am.
Yeah.
But I'm not.
Congratulations. She's pregnant.
You won't be around to see it.
[TENSE MUSIC]
I wanna talk to her.
Can't.
You won't.
I have every right to throw you
in a maximum security prison.
Prison doesn't need to be near Chicago,
doesn't even need to have
visitation rights.
I'm nobody.
I don't run the girls.
I'm just muscle.

Anton says he's broke.
Took a job with an old friend
to pay rent.
This man, Dmitri Salton.
Salton got pinched five years ago,
domestic battery
of his ex-wife, pled out.
Salton's got no official job listed,
no LKA, no credit cards in his name.
Because he's careful.
Financial Crimes dug into him.
He's got one bank account.
And that account pays
for two separate shells,
both of them linked to our LLC.
Salton's our man behind the curtain.
Recruits girls on social media,
pinpoints high-risk individuals
with little family,
little financial options,
uses Romeo tactics to sweet-talk them
into working his parties.
He pimps the girls out from there.
As far as we can tell,
the girls make none of the
money and have no independence.
They're held and watched by Dmitri 24/7.
All right, well,
Dmitri's stats match our man
at the warehouse to a tee.
Anton, he didn't see the stabbing,
but he believes Dmitri did it,
saw him covered in blood.
This is our guy.
All right, so where the hell is he?
I mean, he's gonna know by now
we knocked off his buildings.
Well, Anton said
Dmitri uses two vehicles,

at this party.
How did you know?

It's a small six-room building

Six rooms, one door in and out.
UC Vice cops are bedded down there now,

OK, UC cops got eyes on anyone?
No one's come in or out yet.

You should get that checked out.
It's fine.
I mean, at least have them
clean it, Adam.
All right, I got an update.
No one inside
matches our offender's stats.
Two of the girls in the video are AWOL.
None of the girls or johns
have said a word yet.
- So we're nowhere?
- No.
We're gonna have to make time
to talk to my dad tomorrow
because I can't get this bank
to give me any answers.
They'll probably only talk to him.
Oh, well, he doesn't remember
what the account is for
or why he took all the money out, so.
Facility doesn't have any paperwork.
I mean, this is a problem from before,
not a problem from Florida.
Yeah. And we'll take care of it.
Yeah, Kim, this could be gambling debt.
He could owe someone. It could be bad.
- I mean, I don't know
- Adam.
What kind of problems
he's gonna leave us with.
You'll figure it out.
We don't know what any of this is yet.
Yeah.
Turn around. Let me look at that.
[RUZEK SIGHS] Adam.
I don't wanna tell this man's wife
the father of her two children died
while visiting an underage
sex trafficking victim.
I just
I don't wanna leave her with that.
I know.
- Anything new?
- No, no.
Johns have lawyered up.
The girls are stonewalling.
Security who gave you that cut
is giving us nothing.
Well, it seemed like
the girls had been
with these men a while.
I doubt they'll be giving us
anything anytime soon.
The building showed no sign
of the females living there.
Felt like a meet-up spot for the johns.
Mm.
Offender's gotta be
holding them elsewhere.
GPS in the van was disabled.
OK, so security is our best bet.
He had a burner phone
and $2,000 in his pocket.
- So we have leverage.
- ID says it's Anton Verimelli.
He's 32, no priors,
and rents an apartment
in Ravenswood with a female.
Might be his girlfriend.
I'm running his known associates now.
He's smart.
We got him on aggravated
battery of a police officer
and underage sex trafficking.
Him talking ain't gonna
lower those charges.
So go hit Anton's place. Rip it apart.
See if you can find more leverage.
Meanwhile, we'll keep digging.
[SIGHS]
There's nothing to find.
Yeah, we heard you the first time.
May I?
I don't know what you think
you'll be finding.
Drugs? Weapons?
We're not into any of that.
You know what your boyfriend
does for a living?
You know he runs girls?
You want to keep defending him?
Remember me?
Found that in your girlfriend's closet.
She bought it last week.
She's got a doctor's
appointment next week.
Wanted the doctor to confirm
before she told you
'cause she knew how
excited you would be,
wanted to make sure that it was real.
You're lying.
- I'm not.
- You're allowed to lie to me.
I am.
Yeah.
But I'm not.
Congratulations. She's pregnant.
You won't be around to see it.
[TENSE MUSIC]
I wanna talk to her.
Can't.
You won't.
I have every right to throw you
in a maximum security prison.
Prison doesn't need to be near Chicago,
doesn't even need to have

Anton says he's broke.
Took a job with an old friend
to pay rent.
This man, Dmitri Salton.
Salton got pinched five years ago,
domestic battery
of his ex-wife, pled out.
Salton's got no official job listed,
no LKA, no credit cards in his name.
Because he's careful.
Financial Crimes dug into him.
He's got one bank account.
And that account pays
for two separate shells,
both of them linked to our LLC.
Salton's our man behind the curtain.
Recruits girls on social media,
pinpoints high-risk individuals
with little family,
little financial options,
uses Romeo tactics to sweet-talk them
into working his parties.
He pimps the girls out from there.
As far as we can tell,
the girls make none of the
money and have no independence.
They're held and watched by Dmitri 24/7.
All right, well,
Dmitri's stats match our man
at the warehouse to a tee.
Anton, he didn't see the stabbing,
but he believes Dmitri did it,
saw him covered in blood.
This is our guy.
All right, so where the hell is he?
I mean, he's gonna know by now
we knocked off his buildings.
Well, Anton said
Dmitri uses two vehicles,
got both plates flagged.
ISPERN's on it.
Anton also gave up Dmitri's burner,
- but the phone is dark now.

So we're dumping his data
and I can try
to pinpoint his LKA that way.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I got a hit on the flagged plate.
Mile marker 75 on 90.
Which vehicle?
- Dmitri's pickup.
- OK, run the next marker.

It hasn't hit yet. It should have.
