Impulse Control
1
Someone left that envelope this morning.
But you're all right, whatever this is?
Yes.
We have an armed robbery in progress.
Our offender's name, Gary Bell.
Why does he keep attacking their hands?
It's overkill.
I don't want this in my head anymore!
No! No!
Your son is dead.
We'd like to inform his daughter.
Gary said, "He made me this way."
Who do you think "he" is?
I want an investigative alert
put out on a Raymond Bell.
There's something wrong in that house.
Good night.
Good night.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
Still nothing?
No.
What is it you're hoping to find?
I don't know.
That's why I'm looking at everything.
But I'm telling you,
this man is violent.
Well, bike messenger dropped this off,
practically in the dead of night.
So you're checking up
on his granddaughter, Julie?
You think Raymond's harming her?
You OK?
Hank?
Who was this messenger?
You catch the company he works for?
No, but I can find out.
Sarge, you see the alert that just hit?
Attempted burglary in progress,
two blocks from Raymond Bell's house.
Just popped on our
investigative alerts
probably nothing again,
but you want to hit it?
Chicago PD.
Got blood.
Yeah, window's broken.
Chicago PD.
Hello?
[KNOCKING]
Someone's coming.
Yeah.
Oh, thank God.
- Ma'am, are you all right?
- Yes.
Yes, I'm fine.
Is there anyone else in the house?
No. No, it's just me.
- I would have heard.
- All right.
Can you tell us what happened?
I was upstairs.
I heard loud banging
and then glass breaking,
and I locked myself in
the bathroom, and I called 911.
You did the right thing.
Do you have access
to this doorbell camera?
Yes.
I forgot about that thing.
My son set it up.
I I never check it.
I should.
Just take your time.
OK, here.
All right.
- Here it is.
- Thank you.
OK.
There we go.

Hey, Sarge.
They're pulling prints now.
We should have an ID soon.
- Do we know where he came from?
- Not yet.
The closest traffic cam is
on Crestview and Emerald.
We didn't catch much there.
We lose the offender and the victim
before and after the door cam
from the footage of the neighbor.
Well, then just go wider
PODs, bus cams, taxis.
Nothing yet on the cameras.
Well, then just keep running it.
I want to know where this kid came from.
And I want to know
how it traces back to Bell.
Raymond Bell?
Father of Gary of the violent robberies?
That's how we caught this,
had an investigative alert
on the neighborhood.
Charles Bell's house just blocks away.
That's right.
Look, our victim's hand
looks a hell of a lot
like Gary's victims'
same overkill, same brutality.
Remember, right before he died,
Gary said, "He made me like this."
OK, but here, the victim's
entire body is beaten.
The hand might not be a signature.
They could be defensive wounds.
So indulge me.
Just hit the tech room.
Run every prior hand injury that pops.
Rest of you,
just keep working the scene.
Get me a rush on those prints.
Where are you headed? You need backup?
No.

Sorry to bother you this morning.
No, not at all.
How how can I help you?
There was an assault

No, I didn't.
I'm sorry.

OK.
Victim's prints came back
to a Michael Murray.
He's 20 years old,
been in and out of the system,
priors for solicitation
and drug possession,
no LKA.
ME says manner of death
was blunt force trauma
to the skull with a cylindrical object,
likely a metal pipe.
And the hand?
Damaged from repeated blows.
Ligature marks on the wrists indicate
he was likely restrained
during the beating.
All right, are we up on Mike's phone?
- Socials?
- Yes, sir.
Just got mudds and tolls in.
Looks like he was getting
a series of calls
around 9:00 p.m. from a Romeo Vasquez.
Romeo sent social media
messages demanding cash,
and real colorful language.
Romeo Vasquez, his phone's registered
to 1361 Low Street, Englewood.
Yup, that's him.
He's got priors
for promoting prostitution
and gun charges, and he's on
parole for aggravated assault.
Huh.
Dispute over money, tempers flare.
That leads to violence.
I mean, it sounds like
he might be Mike's pimp.
Vice has the address listed
as a possible trap house.
It doesn't fit with
Raymond Bell, but it does fit.
All right, Torres,
keep working Mike's phone.
Imani, Kev, let's go visit Romeo.
Copy that.
I asked if your name is Romeo Vasquez.
It's not a trick question.
You got a warrant with those questions?
I can get one.
Yeah, well, come back
when you get one then.
Nice piece, Romeo.
Aren't you on parole?
- Go!
- Romeo. Hey.

It's up to you.
You texted Mike Murray
last night demanding money.
That ain't no question, man.
Yes or no?
Again, it's not a trick question.
Yes.
Mike was going to blow his
whole damn roll up his arm,
kill himself in the process.
What, not good for your business?
I was trying to save him
from himself, man.
He's got no self-control.
OK.
When was the last time
you had eyes on Mike?
- Last night.
- OK.
9:00.
We were in this kitchen,
arguing about him shooting up junk.
Then he ran out the back to get well.
Show me.
All right, man.
He came out through here, bro.
What?
I didn't see that there.
- This his stuff?
- Yeah, yeah.
But I swear,
I didn't know that was there.
All right, so what happened to him?
I'm telling you, man, I don't know.
He ran out the back, shut the door.
That's all I seen.
- Take him back inside.
- Mm-hmm.
That mean I'm done, yeah?
You're not going to take me in, right?
Shut up.
Morning, sir.
Listen, uh, got a minute?
Sir, we're investigating an incident
that took place back here
last night, about 9:00.
You didn't happen to see
anything, did you?
There's always something
going down out here at that house.
Uh-huh. And was there last night?
I was woken up.
I understand.
- I go to bed early.
- OK.
Woke up to screeching tires.
It's always something back here,
so I was pissed.
Looked out my window,
saw a silver car taking off real fast.
Silver sedan?
That's what I said, silver sedan.
Make and model?
I didn't have my glasses on.
Did you happen to see the driver?
- Like I said

Nope, nothing.

Search a mile radius

It took some digging,
but I think I found it.
- A hand injury?
- Yeah.
It's a supplemental report from 2022.
A man came into the hospital
with a crushed hand.
Doctors reported the injury
as suspicious.
When the detectives came
to question him,
the man insisted that
it was a work accident.
This guy's name is Aaron Crompton.
He's 53 years old.
Seems he's been in and out
of psychiatric care
since he was a child.
At the time of the incident,
he was working
as a gardener for Raymond Bell.
For how long?
His whole life.
I mean, he grew up
at the Bells' property.
His dad was a gardener there
since the '60s.
He took over when he was 17.
And he was working there
until the hand accident.
Where is he?
Uh I, uh
his LK was listed
as a friend named Vivian.
But I spoke to her.
She said he was unwell and moved out.
She thinks that he's living
in a CTA closet underground.
What?
Yeah, the abandoned Jackson station.
OK.
Just keep digging in on Mike Murray.

Yeah. It's unlicensed,
but I can dig something up.

This could be a little girl
messing with her phone.
It could be her grandfather

I don't care. We gotta move.
OK, we move, and she clams up again,

So we do nothing?
No. We do something,

Before we do anything,

Imani, you'll head

You make sure she's safe.
Then we catch Bell off guard.
This man is proud, arrogant.
In his mind, he is the smartest person
in every room.
He's the one in control.
But we don't have enough to arrest.
But I'm telling you,
he won't be able to help himself.
Raymond Bell.
Detective Burgess.
This is Officer Atwater.
We have some new information
regarding the body we
found near your home, and we were hoping
you could come down
to the district with us.
He'll want to know what we have.
He will come in willingly.
And we let him believe
he can outsmart us.
Sure.
We just make Bell believe
we have something, something real.
We make him curious.
Eventually, Bell will want nothing more
than to talk to us, to prove us wrong.
And we let him talk.
We keep him talking
until he makes a mistake,
until we get what we need.
Have a seat.

[GRUNTS]
[SCOFFS] This is compelling.
Bell tied himself to the location
where Aurelia Sloan was last seen.
He even mentions
a playground that was torn down
a month after Aurelia disappeared.
Meaning he was at that park
during the time period
when she disappeared.
It's a connection, a real one.
I can put a tracker order in.
A tracker?
Put a tracker on any
of Bell's known vehicles.
If he leads us to any evidence,
then we can move.
Are you for real?
There is a child in danger,
and you're giving us permission
to put GPS on his car.
This evidence is enough
for a tracker order.
Well, what happens
when Bell flies off the handle
and beats Julie to death?
How much will the evidence
be worth then?
If you wanted a different answer,
you should have met the burden of proof.
I can get you a tracker order.
- Do you want it or not?
- We'll take it.
Yeah, sorry.
I need a tracker put on
