[SPRINKLER CHATTERING]
[PEACEFUL MUSIC]
Canary ville is Chicago.
But it's kind of not
at the same time, you know?
[BELL TOLLING]
My whole life's been here
nowhere else but this neighborhood
that felt like a small town growing up.
[BIRD COOING]
♪
My best memories happened here,
so I guess it was
the biggest place on Earth.
Everything seems bigger
when you're a kid.
♪
But then I grew up,
and now this place feels
so small, so familiar.
♪
People love familiar things
because it reminds them of their past.
[COFFEE CUP CLANKS SOFTLY]
Makes them feel comfortable.
♪
But what if that comfort
is lying to you?
♪
Or what if
you're lying to yourself?
♪
All right, it's official.
Roots are growing into the piping.
Mack, I know why
your bathroom's clogging.
I have to get the plumber
out here this weekend.
Otherwise, that pipe's
going to collapse.
Hey, uh, so this came in the mail.
Fairfield Park Academy?
How'd some fancy private school
get our address?
Uh, I I gave it to them.
I called their admissions
office, like, a week ago?
Really? You did?
I did.
Um, I [SIGHS] I-I meant to tell you.
- I hope so.
- Um
it's just that
they have an excellent
college placement rate
and their student body
is over 50% Black.
This is in the suburbs.
That's like an hour drive each way.
We have a hard enough time
getting her to her stuff as it is.
Yeah, I know.
Um, but, you know, it's still
early in the school year.
It might be an OK time
to change her environment.
What about her friends?
I mean, she likes her school.
Why are we going to fix
something that's not broken?
[SIRENS WAILING]
The hell is going on so early?
Cammie texted there's
a bunch of cars on Wallace.
All right, I'll check the radio.
[SIRENS FADING]
Intelligence.
We heard you caught a body.
We looking at a homicide, or?
Homeowners are retired.
Yeah, we know the Wilsons.
We live down the street.
45 minutes ago, the Wilsons
go into their storm cellar
to grab some tools,
instead discover a body.
Oh, Mrs. Wilson looks so nervous.
Yeah.
Did they see anything?
How much did they see?
Not much. They were too spooked.
But we did clear the premises
and can confirm the victim's a girl.
19, maybe 20. No ID on her.
Any witnesses see anyone flee?
- No.
- Great.
Officer, can I borrow your light?
- Yep.
- Thank you.
We got blood.
And scratch marks.
[TENSE SOMBER MUSIC]
♪
[GASPS]
Oh, God.
Is that Natalie King's daughter
from down the block?
Yeah.
Yeah, Sasha.
Sasha King.
♪
[TENSE SOMBER MUSIC]
♪
What if all we ever were
was just trapped?
Stuck.
Like ants,
captured in sap,
wanting so badly to get away.
But we were never leaving.
Everything was a lie.
The comfort, all those
familiar little things
just a lie, a trick to trap you close.
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]
Name's Sasha King. 19 years old.
She's a Canaryville local.
You know her?
Not real well.
We know her mom.
It's a small neighborhood.
She went to the school Mack goes to.
She was raised over on Normal.
Still lived at home.
Her dad committed suicide
a few years back, right?
- Yeah.
- Mom struggled with it.
Some alcohol use there.
Cause of death is brain hemorrhaging
from blunt force trauma.
There's a lot of blood loss
over by the door.
Yeah, she tried to get out.
Yeah, she was alive when
they locked her down here.
Time of death between 10:00 p.m.
and 1:00 a.m. last night.
- She was found like this?
- Yeah.
I mean, there's no clothes on scene.
There's no keys.
There's no phone, no wallet.
There's some tearing on her underwear.
- We could be looking at a rape.
- Mm.
I just spoke with the Wilsons.
They got home early this morning
after spending the night
with her son in Oak Park.
Alibi checks out.
They're not our offenders.
No, they never were.
Wilsons are good people.
All right, Torres,
you lead the knock and talk,
scour PODs, see if you can
dump Sasha's phone.
I want a complete timeline of
all her movements last night.
You two go let her mom know
she just lost her daughter.
News spread fast.
Yeah. Hey.
Danny. How you doing?
Hey, Natalie.
I don't need your notification, Adam.
I know my daughter's dead.
Why would anybody want to hurt Sasha?
Do you know who did this?
Not yet, no.
We're still gathering information,
but we're going to find them.
Natalie.
Are you OK if I
I just take a look around?
[SOFTLY] Yeah.
Can we speak privately? Come on.
You know that saying,
"canary in a coal mine?"
It's like that.
Canaries were put in coal mines
to warn the coal miners
of carbon monoxide poisoning.
♪
They'd first stop singing
♪
Start suffocating
♪
Till they fell off their little perch.
Dead, just like that.
No warning.
Just a quick, horrible death.
[RECORDER CLICKS]
♪
Last I saw Sasha was
yesterday morning around 8:00.
Do you know anybody that
would want to hurt Sasha?
No.
What about new guys in her life?
No. Not any that I know of, anyway.
[SIGHS]
Lily, right? Officer Walsh's daughter.
Yeah.
How you holding up?
I've seen you and Sasha hanging
around together. You guys were friends?
Yeah. Best friends.
When's the last time you saw her?
Um
a couple days ago.
[VOICE SHAKING] It'd been
a while since we hung.
[SNIFFLES]
- I'm sorry.
- No, it's all right.
We've been besties since second grade.
I just
we'd gotten so busy lately.
She'd been working
for the campaign a lot.
OK, whose campaign was she working for?
Greg Whitman. He's running for governor.
Was she having issues there?
Anybody giving her a hard time?
Uh, no. Everyone liked her there.
Natalie.
Is that a boyfriend of Sasha's?
No, that's my brother.
Sasha and Tommy used to hang out.
You know, like, hook up.
It was casual.
Were they hooking up recently?
I don't know.
Their situation was on and off.
- Wasn't a big thing.
- Sure.
Do you know how things ended
between them?
Lily said Sasha's relationship
with her brother ended fine,
but Tommy Walsh, I mean,
this kid's growing into
a bit of a bad seed.
Got quite the rap. He is 24 years old,
son of Frank Walsh, retired police.
He's got two priors,
one for possession with intent.
The other is an assault charge
against a female that went away
due to a bad victim.
Or Frank Walsh made it go away.
Nah. Nah, Frank, he's good police.
Known him for forever.
Looked after me in the Academy.
He's a stand-up dude.
He's also a father.
Yo.
I'm still waiting on the DNA results
from the buccal swab and the rape kit.
Cellar's gonna take some time.
There's a lot of foreign DNA.
But we do have all of Sasha's
cell tower data from last night.
Her phone died at 7:00 p.m.
Pulled historical data shows
her phone died all the time,
so nothing weird there.
Before her phone died,
she did receive several calls
from Tommy Walsh
between the hours of 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
We got text messages, too.
"Come on, Sasha. Don't be a bitch."
"I know you want it. Meet me."
"All these games you play,
and you're going to
find yourself playing
with the wrong person."
He sounds good for it.
What sounds better is that
Sasha's last cell tower ping
was two blocks away from Tommy
Walsh's residence in Canaryville.
All right, Kim, Adam,
I want you to move on it.
Just remember he's a copper's son.
Be fast and quiet.
Place is nice.
There he is.
Hey, Tommy.
What do youwant?
CPD. We want to ask you a few questions.
What about?
It's all good, man.
We just need to chat.
- Got him.
- I'll take north.

Kim, he just went over
Josie's back roof.
He's going to drop down

But really, they're
hiding something dirty,
dangerous even.
And one day,
all I see is a familiar stranger.
And it's the face of someone
I'd never want to know.
[RECORDER CLICKS]
Recognize that?
Sasha made a bunch
of these tapes, Tommy.
She recorded her whole life.
That's you she's talking about,
isn't it?
You're the familiar stranger,
aren't you?
Here's what we know, Tommy.
We know that you saw Sasha last night.
In fact, we think you were
the last person with her.
So what happened?
She didn't want to be with you anymore?
That made you mad?
I get that, I do.
You've known her your whole life.
You're the son of a cop.
You gotta know if we got you
sitting in front of us
like this, we got a damn good reason.
We're building a case
for rape and murder.
I didn't rape or murder anyone!
Sit down.
Tell us what happened then.
I don't know what the hell
she was talking about
on that tape, and I wouldn't know.
Sasha was too good for me now.
Huh.
And yet, you were with her last night.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
Hank, need you downstairs.
Frank, let's go in the office.
No! No! I want to see my goddamn son!
I understand. You know I do.
- Let's just keep
- No. Don't do that.
You couldn't have given me
a courtesy, Adam?
- [SCOFFS] I'm police. You know me.
- Frank
How many times me and you been
down at Kelly's having drinks, huh?
Frank. I'm Sergeant Voight
Yeah, I know all about you, Hank Voight.
Well, then I'm sure you also know
that CPD has the right to hold
with or without counsel.
- We got 72 hours.
- Yeah, it's 48.
We found 2 grams of heroin
on Tommy, Frank.
Judge Clarkson granted us an extension.
Are you kidding me?
Listen, it's nothing personal.
We're doing our jobs.
I know you understand that.
- [SCOFFS] Nothing personal?
- No.
That's my goddamn son!
He didn't kill anyone.
Frank.
He's staying.
Yeah?
Well, then so am I.
I'm not leaving until Tommy does.
And I'm calling my lawyer.
If you go near my son before he arrives,
I'll have all your badges.
OK.
We got a hit on Sasha.
She swiped her CTA card
last night at 9:20 p.m.
at the Halsted stop.
After she was with Tommy?
Yep, she got off the train
next to Greg Whitman's campaign office
on the Mag Mile at 9:40 p.m.
No Tommy Walsh in sight.
There's no evidence
she ever got back on the CTA.
Card never swipes again.
Nothing on CTA's footage.
OK, well, this changes the timeline.
Doesn't clear Tommy.
Sure, but why'd she
go into work that late?
How'd she get back
to Canaryville, wind up dead?
Head over to Whitman's office. Find out.
So leave. Just leave.
That's what I tell myself.
But can you?
Can you really just leave?
Or does the past follow you?
Does that sap just drip from your bones
until you're pulled back?
Hey, Kim Burgess,
detective at Chicago PD.
Who do I talk to in order
to access the cameras?
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]

- Excuse me.
Hi, I'm Officer Ruzek.
You got a minute to talk?
Um, I don't work here.
Alex Feldman. I'm a donor.
Dropped by to see Greg,
but I just missed him.
OK, when Greg's out of
the office, who's in charge?
Uh, campaign manager's gone for the day,
so I guess that that would be me.
I'm Edna Lopez, field director.
Uh, w-what is this about?
Sasha King.
She's a volunteer here, right?
Yeah.
What time did you guys close yesterday?
Um, we were closed yesterday
due to the, uh, rally in Deerfield,
so nobody should have been here

What? Have you been drinking?
She's dead because of me! [SOBS]
I get it, Edna.
But you said it was all your fault. Why?
You have to help us understand this.
What happened, Edna? Did you hurt her?
No. No, I'd never. No.
OK, so then why is it your fault?
I just I told her something
that I shouldn't have, OK?
OK.
What was it? What'd you tell her?

Edna.
You're not going to be able
to leave until you talk to us.
I know that you get that.
What'd you tell Sasha?
I I went to one of Alex's parties.
Alex Feldman, the donor you met.

All right, what have we got?
We sorted through
all of this campaign footage,
and Alex was there.
Him and Sasha never made it inside,
but we got them both out in the street.
You got a time stamp?
10:15 p.m., around the time she died.
OK, so, what?
He drove her to Canaryville,
things escalated in the car?
Do we have the car in Canaryville?
No, not yet.

physically assaulting Sasha King
the night of her murder.
You raped her, didn't you?
- No.
- No?
What, you just killed her?
No.
Alex, you and your friends
think it's fun
to drug young women and then rape them
while they are unconscious.
And now you want me to believe
you wouldn't rape and kill
a girl who was going
to blow the whistle on you?
- I didn't.
- Uh-huh.
I didn't!
Yes, I grabbed her.
Yes, I threatened her.
But then I drove her home.
That is it, I swear to God.
Then how come Sasha's mom
never saw her come home that night?
What?
How come Sasha's not alive and well?
Why didn't she wake up in her bed?

looking down the street
when when I left.
Well, that's convenient.
- I'm telling the truth.
- Uh-huh.
I suppose your car's GPS
can confirm all this?
No, I I disabled it.
Huh.
I swear I didn't kill her.
We have zero evidence that
Alex actually drove her home.
For all we know,
he drove Sasha to that cellar
and killed her.
Yeah, but we have zero proof
of that, too, Torres.
Hey.
Forensics is still working Alex's car.
And Sasha's prints are all over it,
but there's no blood.
That means results came in, too.
Trace amounts of semen
were found inside Sasha.
They match Tommy's DNA.
ME can't confirm rape.
No tearing or abrasions.
But it is confirmation
that Sasha and Tommy had sex
in the hours prior to her death.
So what the hell are we looking at?
I mean, did Tommy go back to see her
after Alex allegedly dropped her off?
Or did he see her at 7:00, have sex,
and then never see her after that?
Well, we just need more.
We need evidence of what happened
after Sasha and Alex came back
to Canaryville that night.
We've still got hours on

And Sasha's prints are all over it,
but there's no blood.
That means results came in, too.
Trace amounts of semen
were found inside Sasha.
They match Tommy's DNA.
ME can't confirm rape.
No tearing or abrasions.
But it is confirmation
that Sasha and Tommy had sex
in the hours prior to her death.
So what the hell are we looking at?
I mean, did Tommy go back to see her
after Alex allegedly dropped her off?
Or did he see her at 7:00, have sex,
and then never see her after that?
Well, we just need more.
We need evidence of what happened
after Sasha and Alex came back
to Canaryville that night.
We've still got hours on
the clock on Tommy and Alex.
So dig. Just keep digging.
We're missing something.
I've been thinking about
the people closest to me.
Who had been there
for most of my firsts.
♪
Who have made me feel comfortable, safe.
It feels so good
when it's good, you know?
♪
But really,
they're hiding something dirty,
dangerous even.
And one day, all I see
is a familiar stranger.
And it's the face of someone
I'd never want to know.

kill her, but she hit her head hard,
hit it on something,

you ripped her panties
