There might be civilians in there.

50-21, I got shots fired behind the RXW.
Two offenders fleeing in a blue
sedan, older model, no plate.
They're going northbound
on Franklin now.
These men are wanted on homicide.
They're armed and extremely dangerous.
♪
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
What did the paramedics say?
Baby's gonna be OK.
They're checking her for shock.
- You sure you're OK?
- Yeah.
This guy Lenny,
he just took two bullets
for her like it was nothing.
It was like a war zone.
These guys unloaded,
and then Lenny just he moved.
I haven't seen anything like
that since I was overseas.
Voight's here.
- You good?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- BOLO's out.
- Good.
Hey.
Went down just like
a good Samaritan said.
OK, so there's no audio,
but it looks like our offenders
make some sort of demand.
The pharmacist fights back.
All hell breaks loose.
All right, now,
keep your eye on the other guy.
- That shot came from Lenny?
- Yeah.
Caught him completely off guard.
That's how they ended up
in the storage area.
If Lenny hadn't engaged
More innocent people would have died.
Yeah.
Yo, yo.
I got a witness who was
at the pharmacy the whole time
saying she saw the whole thing.
The offenders are looking
for pseudoephedrine.
They're cooking meth.
That's why the pharmacist
keeps it in the vault.
She wouldn't open it for them, so
All right, so get on the horn
with Narcotics. Check their radar.
Anyone with a meth sheet.
And one of the offenders got shot,
so have the lab run any blood
that doesn't match the pharmacist.
- Could pop.
- All right.
Lenny Gibson he gonna make it?
Med says touch and go.
Well, get down there,
see what he can offer.
Mr. Gibson is on plenty of meds,
but he's alert right now.
Family here?
His wife's been here.
Went home to get some stuff
for him, check on the kids.
Some friends from Mr. Gibson's army days
kind of keeping watch, I guess.
Go on in.
Hey.
- Jay, right?
- Mm-hmm.
How are you feeling?
Oh, man.
[GROANS] Like five bucks.
This is my partner, Detective Upton.
Hey, Lenny. I heard a lot about you.
You did a real good thing.
We just have a couple questions for you
to help us catch these guys.
Fire away.
All right, before it all went down,
did you hear them say anything?
Did they have an accent,
anything like that?
No, no.
I was on the other side of the store.
I was
I was just grabbing a pop.
And then I
I heard the shots, and it was,
well, you know, game on.
Did you see their faces
without the masks?
No.
Any descriptors at all?
No.
I'm sorry.
It was too fast.
Hey, don't be sorry, all right?
Just hang tough. Rest up.
Hey.
Let's do it again sometime.
You bet.
Excuse me.
I'm Nolan, Lenny's buddy.
Did you find these sons of bitches?
We're working on it.
You serve together?
All did a three-year hitch
together in the sandbox.
Me too, 75th Rangers. Korengal mostly.
Hooah.
You all still active duty?
AGR.
Hooked in with Joint Forces,
Narcotics ops.
Multinational cartel targets.
- Lenny too?
- Nah.
But he's the most decorated
of all of us.
Defused IEDs for our unit.
But he did his time.
He did it well.
Thanks for looking after his family.
This is two months ago in Brighton Park.
This is two weeks later down in Chatham.
Robbery-homicide worked both of them.
Same height, weight, build.
Same freaky mask, same weapons.
Same target pseudoephedrine.
They boosted 30,000 cold medicine pills
in these two robberies alone.
Oh, so this latest robbery
was an escalation?
Yeah, so they started out
by hitting
pharmaceutical transport trucks
on the way to the big box stores.
But last month, the stores hired
off-duty cops to escort those trucks.
So this time, they waited
for the stuff to be delivered.
Escorts left, heat died down.
Then they hit it.
But we can't move yet on
any of the previous robberies
on our BOLO, witnesses.
Just got a call.
Guy at a junkyard in Fuller
Park saw the RXW job on TV.
Claims somebody just
ditched our getaway car.
- Thanks, Trudy.
- Yeah.
Go.
Every day is one big blur
of crap on tires.
But a 12-year-old Corolla
with a jangly bumper?
That rang a bell
from what I'd seen on the news.
Do you know the guy who dropped it?
Just some guy.
- Get a name?
- No, we don't take names.
Want to get rid of your clunker?
We take your clunker. That's the deal.
No, I tried to stall him for
a bit, but he got all cagey.
Must have left about 10 minutes ago.
You got cameras around here?
Don't believe in that big-brother stuff.
Car should be right up here
around the corner.
Smoke.
Oh, no!
That's the car.
That's the car! That's the car!
- Back up.
- Jesus.
- The whole place could go up.
- Back up.
Back up!
50-21 Henry, emergency.
We need CFD to 1314 Vienna,
southeast corner of the yard.
- We got a vehicle on fire.
- Copy.
Jay, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey!
- Jay?
- Hailey, we got to try.
There's probably evidence in there.
Come on. Leave it.
Hey, leave it. Leave it.
Get out! Let's go!
[EXPLOSION]
♪
So he just walked off
after he got cagey with you?
Did he catch a ride with someone?
- Was someone waiting for him?
- I don't know.
He was there, and then he wasn't.
Anything's gonna help us. Was he fat?
Was he skinny? Did he have a tattoo?
He was just a basic white dude, I guess.
- Tall, I guess, thin.
- All right, thanks.
We're gonna give you a call.
Well, if there's no cameras
on the street out front,
there's no telling
if anybody ever saw this dude.
He could be far as hell by now.
Hey, techs think they found a good print
on the engine block.
Print survived the fire.
It looks like our crew left it there
when they were carving VINs
off the getaway car.
They're running it now.
The print on the getaway car
is a dead match
to Calvin Morrell, 27.
He's got a long sheet, minor stuff.
But the kicker? He's hooked to meth.
6'4". A beanpole.
Strong match for the offender
Lenny Gibson winged.
Active bench warrant for his arrest.
Scoop him up.
There it is.
- Ready?
- Yep.
- [GRUNTS]
- Whoa, whoa.
Calvin Morrell!
Chicago PD!
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
In here.
Gun!
Hands out. Hands out.
Drop the pipe. Drop it!
Is this about that warrant?
You're under arrest
for armed robbery, murder,
and the attempted murder
of a Chicago police officer.
What?
What the hell are you talking about?
I'm not saying I'm a saint.
I'm just saying I've got nothing to do
with a robbery at a drugstore.
Your prints are all over the car
that was used in the robbery.
A woman was killed.
Another man's in the ICU.
Do you understand the stakes
that we're talking about?
You're looking at murder, Calvin.
Look. I stole that car, OK?
And then I sold it, like, two weeks ago
just to make rent.
OK, sure. Who'd you sell it to?
- Come on.
- Who'd you sell it to?
I answer that, it's a death sentence.
This guy
he'd beat me to death.
Preliminary arson report
on the getaway car.
It's real thin, nothing to go on.
- Thanks.
- How's it going in there?
The problem is the car theft alone.
That's your third strike.
You're a habitual offender.
And now, you're downstate for life.
What?
I didn't have anything to do
with the robbery.
It was just the car.
You're right, man.
It's a bad way to get life.
So I'm gonna give you a way out, OK?
I'm gonna trash
the warrant we used for today.
I'm gonna drop the charges for the car.
I'll expunge your record.
All you got to do is give me that name.

Jay, you can't make the
promise you just made in there.
We can't keep it. You know that.
I have zero intention
keeping that promise.
- It worked, though.
- Yeah.
- Until it gets thrown out.
- It won't.
You don't know that.
Morrell sold the car
to this man, Benjamin Watt.
Pride of Rogers Park. No sheet.
He's a person of interest
in our narcotics investigation,
targeting meth linked to dozens of ODs.
The problem is they were
never able to charge him.
But he's a great physical match
for offender number one,
the guy who shot Lenny.
Morrell ID Watt by name?
And in a six pack. This is our guy.
He looks good for it, but we have
zero actionable evidence
tying Watt to that RXW.
- None.
- All right. Then let's find some.
Dig in to Watt. Sit on his ass.
Shadow him.
This just in: according to Torres,
Benjamin Watt has just
arrived at the gym.
DEA's a dry well.
All right, thanks.
Well, my CI says
we're on the right path.
West Garfield, Logan Square.
Benjamin Watt is the candyman,
but he's got nothing
for us to jump into.

Hey, what's going on?
What are we doing down here?
I looked through
Ben Watt's cell transactions.
Found something?
Something you're not gonna like.
What?
Two hours before the RXW job,
Watt sent $400
to Lenny Gibson.
I don't think
he's just a good Samaritan.
I think he's in on the robbery.
♪
You said you were picking up a pop?
Yeah, that's right.
Had you paid for it yet
when everything happened?
Had you opened it?
No.
Why are we talking about pop?
Because they keep the pop in a
display case next to the pharmacy.
And that's a completely
different part of the store
than you were in
when you engaged the robbers.

Maybe I did pay. I don't know.

To tell him when
the cold medicine was unloaded.
They swore no one would get hurt.
When I saw him shoot that pharmacist
That, I couldn't take.
I did the right thing when it counted.
Didn't I do that?

I'll call Voight.
What? About what?
About Lenny.
He just confessed to being the lookout.
We need to get a warrant.
We need to search his house, his phone.
He must have alerted
the rest of the crew
when the pills arrived;
so we get something like that,
we get Watt,
and then we can make the case.
No, no.
No? What do you mean no?
Hailey, he's dying.
We can't take his name too.
That's not your call.
One bad act doesn't
make you a bad person.
You and I both know that.
What?
Jay, can I talk to you
for a second, please?
What's going on with you? This
isn't you.
What isn't?
Everything lately.
Skirting evidence,
lying to me, no-knocks,
making bad deals in the box,
you and Voight,
you pulling away from me

or what's going on with you.
I don't know what to do,
but I'm here, and I want to help.

Halstead.
OK.
OK.
Thanks.
Lenny's dead.
That's it.
Hailey, he gave his life
for that woman at the scene.
We got nothing more
that we can take from him.
And we can make the case another way.
So let's do that.
Come on.
All right, what did we get
from Ballistics?
No match for the drugstore slugs.
And no shots fired
during the earlier robberies.
All right, what about
the ping order on Watt's cell?
Sorry, we got nothing on GPS.
They must have used
burners for this job.
All right, Watt bought that getaway car.
That is receipt of stolen property.
Pick them up on that.
Then we'll make him
for the charges that matter.
I tried that, boss.
ASA said that we have zero evidence
that Watt knew that the car was stolen.
I got two dead civilians
and 30,000 pills out there
just killing people all over Chicago.
So drill down.
Find the thing that makes this case.
We might have another one.
Damn. Drugstore?
Elixir Pharmacy, Archer Heights.
Shots fired. Civilians down.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
What do you got?
Two offenders, armed, demanded pills.
Pharmacist balked.
They shot some poor old lady
right in front of them.
Lady was buying batteries
for her hearing aids.
Pseudoephedrine?
What?
The pills they were after?
Yeah, that's it.
Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
Pharmacist turned over the
pills so no one else got hurt.
Bad guys took off that way.
Sounds like this guy got in the
way, so they took him out too.
- They were wearing masks?
- Yeah, that's right.
White plastic mask with hoodies.
How do you know that?
♪
I don't get it.
You know, we worked
the hell out of this thing,
and it's the same deal we had before.
Nobody saw their faces.
We don't even have enough
for a BOLO on the getaway car.
They're either the best in the business
or the luckiest pricks on the planet.
For all we know, we could have
cracked this thing and saved two lives.
- You don't know that's true.
- You don't know it's not.
You need to secure the warrant
on Lenny, or I will.
It's the right thing to do.
The right thing?
OK, these guys aren't
gonna hit again today.
Just give me a few hours.
I'm gonna find a way to work it.
OK.
Nolan?
Jay Halstead.
You still standing watch, huh?
Something like that.
After Lenny went,
I figured I'd stick around
for a few more days
and see what Lorenza needs.
Yeah.
This is Lenny's accounting system.
Their whole life in this box.
Trying to make sense of it, so I
can get Lenny's life insurance moving.
I'm sorry Lenny's gone, man.
Imagine I know why you're here.
You knew he was involved in the robbery?
No.
I knew he was in pain.
I know when people are in pain,
sometimes they do things
they may not otherwise do.
Lenny came home rough from there.
He couldn't hold down a job,
couldn't pay the bills.
I couldn't get him cleared
to work with us.
The electric got cut,
daycare bills unpaid.
I think he got desperate.
Look, if you do this,
the army will say Lenny's death
was due to misconduct.
Lenny's death was due to misconduct.
And once the army makes that official,
this family,
they'll lose everything
his pension, his life insurance.
You know what'll happen to them.
Lenny was a good man, an honorable man.
He just got chewed up.
Lenny was involved with the robbery?
Yes.

make sure his family's taken care of.

the meth this crew was making
cost a minimum
of 35 deaths from overdose.

- Yeah.
This guy Lenny,
he just took two bullets
for her like it was nothing.
It was like a war zone.
These guys unloaded,
and then Lenny just he moved.
I haven't seen anything like
that since I was overseas.
Voight's here.
- You good?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- BOLO's out.
- Good.
Hey.
Went down just like
a good Samaritan said.
OK, so there's no audio,
but it looks like our offenders
make some sort of demand.
The pharmacist fights back.
All hell breaks loose.
All right, now,
keep your eye on the other guy.
- That shot came from Lenny?
- Yeah.
Caught him completely off guard.
That's how they ended up
in the storage area.
If Lenny hadn't engaged
More innocent people would have died.
Yeah.
Yo, yo.
I got a witness who was
at the pharmacy the whole time
saying she saw the whole thing.
The offenders are looking
for pseudoephedrine.
They're cooking meth.
That's why the pharmacist
keeps it in the vault.
She wouldn't open it for them, so
All right, so get on the horn
with Narcotics. Check their radar.
Anyone with a meth sheet.
And one of the offenders got shot,
so have the lab run any blood
that doesn't match the pharmacist.
- Could pop.
- All right.
Lenny Gibson he gonna make it?
Med says touch and go.
Well, get down there,
see what he can offer.
Mr. Gibson is on plenty of meds,
but he's alert right now.
Family here?
His wife's been here.
Went home to get some stuff
for him, check on the kids.
Some friends from Mr. Gibson's army days
kind of keeping watch, I guess.
Go on in.
Hey.
- Jay, right?
- Mm-hmm.
How are you feeling?
Oh, man.
[GROANS] Like five bucks.
This is my partner, Detective Upton.
Hey, Lenny. I heard a lot about you.
You did a real good thing.
We just have a couple questions for you
to help us catch these guys.
Fire away.
All right, before it all went down,
did you hear them say anything?
Did they have an accent,
anything like that?
No, no.
I was on the other side of the store.
I was
I was just grabbing a pop.
And then I
I heard the shots, and it was,
well, you know, game on.
Did you see their faces
without the masks?
No.
Any descriptors at all?
No.
I'm sorry.
It was too fast.
Hey, don't be sorry, all right?
Just hang tough. Rest up.
Hey.
Let's do it again sometime.
You bet.
Excuse me.

Hooked in with Joint Forces,

Defused IEDs for our unit.

He did it well.
Thanks for looking after his family.
This is two months ago in Brighton Park.
This is two weeks later down in Chatham.
Robbery-homicide worked both of them.
Same height, weight, build.
Same freaky mask, same weapons.
Same target pseudoephedrine.
They boosted 30,000 cold medicine pills
in these two robberies alone.
Oh, so this latest robbery
was an escalation?
Yeah, so they started out
by hitting
pharmaceutical transport trucks
on the way to the big box stores.
But last month, the stores hired
off-duty cops to escort those trucks.
So this time, they waited
for the stuff to be delivered.
Escorts left, heat died down.
Then they hit it.
But we can't move yet on
